Now I am working as lead teacher in the lighthouse
From the numerous opportunities I may have, to the galvanizing escapades I can go on, UW Madison has the qualities, characteristics, and programs that define what an ideal college should possess. Last summer, my friends and I went on a college visit to the University. Ashley, our tour guide, exploited features that made UW Madison so special: the friendliness of staff and attending students, their academic programs, admission to any campus, housing, the Gordon Dining Hall (meaning you're never far from food), and the most delightful, ice cream! However, while these qualities that UW Madison attained made them a reputable public school, there were two qualities that made them outstanding, qualities that separate it from other schools: their academic excellence and welcoming atmosphere.
My interest of Tulane was ignited when a representative from Tulane University came to my school. At first, she introduced what most colleges talked about during one of the college visit sessions. It was the usual information about student to faculty ratios, the huge school pride, and the daunting admissions process. However, beyond the discussion about Tulane’s school spirit, I was amazed about the unique student body that was present at the school. As the representative said, “The school is one big melting pot.”
Hi Maria, Things are going well. Tulane is much different (smaller) than NC State, but so far so good. Of course the first two weeks and the holiday coming make things crazy but I made the right decision. I am still waiting to move into my apartment, but I will be settled once I do. I am thrilled that Lucas is doing well!
My grandfather, mother, and entire family were raised in Bellingham, Washington as was I. I can’t imagine going to any other school than Western Washington University. This past year has been a whirlwind. I had to decide which schools to apply to, take many tests, finish up a senior project, found a new passion, and lost someone close to me. I now realize that the only school I want to go to is Western. A few weeks ago I went to tour a few colleges in Eastern Washington.
When I was was younger, I was a caterpillar crawling around trying to get through life, waiting to turn into the beautiful butterfly I know I could soon become. I made good decisions along with bad ones, saw the beauty in life as well as the unpleasant. I was like everyone else trying to be their own person, but now as I look at myself in the mirror I can finally see who I really am. I see myself as the beautiful butterfly I once dreamed of becoming, ready to fly down my own path. I have been in my chrysalis and I am finally out and ready to fly into my bright future.
First they will come for the Confederate flag, then they will come for confederate monuments, then they will come after the Church 's tax exempt status, then they will come for the few Pastors who preach the Gospel. They will charge them with hate crimes if they speak God 's truth. Then they will come for you. Next they will try and ban the old hymn "Amazing Grace.
When I started high school, the club that excited me the most, was National Honors Society. So, at the first chance I got, in my sophomore year. After being a member for a year, I quickly realized that I wanted to take on a leadership opportunity in the club. So, I took a shot for the stars, and campaigned for being president of Honors Society. Though I had some competition, I put my all into composing a speech, and I won the presidency, and I have been president since.
In my freshman year, I made a choice to relinquish some of my social life and replace that time giving back to my community. I joined a non-profit organization called the Volunteer Corp. We spent our time at food banks, park clean-ups, and even hosting local events. This experience left a lasting impression on me in many ways; however, one experience changed my perspective on life and serve as a constant reminder of how the smallest contribution to others can be the most powerful. St. Joseph University, in Philadelphia, held an event called Hand in Hand. It was an event dedicated to raising awareness for people with physical and/or developmental disabilities.
So over the summer I got to visit two schools, the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins university. So when I went to the University of Maryland I felt like I liked it more than John 's Hopkins. At the University of Maryland, they have the School of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social worker law and dentistry. So I visit the school medicine and also got to see their campus and their hospital. During the tour, I also got to visit the trauma center and even went up to see their helicopter.
I am awakened by the bright light seeping through and around my black-out curtains. The clock on my night stand reads 3:02pm. I realize it is Thursday my night off from work and that I actually slept 6 straight hours with no interruption (that’s a record since I started working nights at the hospital). Still drowsy I toss my covers off and peel my listless body from the comfort of my cozy bed. I stumble down the stairs to the kitchen where I turn on my Keurig and realize it is “THURSDAY!
For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
Once upon a time when I was younger I used to live in Lincolnton and I went to G.E. Massey. I was in the first grade. I was living with my Aunt Tammy at the time because my mother was living with my grandfather and so was my older sister. After I moved onto the 2nd grade I moved in with my pawpaw and my mother because my sister moved with our dad. Me and my mom shared a room but most of the time I wouldn’t see her because when she got home from work during the night she would go right to bed.
I started training at North Carolina Martial Arts College (NCMAC) in 2009 as a white belt. NCMAC is a karate school that teaches the Korean art of Tang Soo Do. As I trained in the art, I was promoted to the rank of 1st Dan, black belt, in 2012. After my promotion, I began to volunteer as an instructor at NCMAC. As an instructor, most of my time in class was teaching, the majority of my learning and practicing happened outside of or between classes.
The chance to experience a new chapter in my life and learn more about this world and the people in it are the reasons why I chose to attend Berea College. Prior to coming to Berea, I lived my entire life in a rural town in Tennessee that was very closed-minded to the outside world. About 1% of my high-school identified as a minority race, and anyone who did not fall into the white, wealthy class status were shunned. This made Berea College’s acceptance of all people regardless of race, ethnicity, and marital preference all the more refreshing. Through my experiences being an Asian Students Union’s officer, engaging in conversations with fellow students, and studying abroad in Japan, my world-view has expanded such that I have a deeper appreciation
