Narration Essay I just finished High school, so I was ready to go to college. I had thoughts about the subject at the time, because I heard that college is harder than High school. All I can think about is how should I go about starting out in college? I could ask some questions while I’m there.
Returning to college has been an exciting and terrifying decision for me. My husband has encouraged me for 1-2 years, but my fear of failure overwhelmed me and kept me from pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree. I wasn’t even sure what I wanted to pursue. I’m now on this journey and ready for whatever it is that God has planned for me. I have worked hard encouraged my three kids as they transitioned their way through elementary school through middle school and on to high school and graduation.
My most significant endeavor since attending community college would be helping my community to receive an Adult Daycare. Thought this endeavorer I have applied my knowledge that I have learned about the disease to educate others in my community who may not have to know the impact of it. I have also used and sought the aid of my relationship that I have built by being at my community college. This Adult Daycare service or Coltrane LIFE center is something that I am passionate about having in my hometown. My grandpa has Alzheimer's and I have seen the stress that tolls on the family and caregiver.
Mission Statements Why do you want to go to a certain college or University? What do they do or have that truly makes you want to spend years of your life attending?

There are many accomplishments I want to complete throughout my time at MSU. Currently I do not have a major, but consider myself as business-preference. I’m shifting myself towards supply-chain management, but also conflicted between advertising.

When I originally came to Eckerd College, I was super excited and nervous about leaving home and coming to new area. Also, I was super nervous about not knowing my major. I was in between a couple of majors and couldn’t decide because everything interested me. I also was super nervous about not being able to make a 4 year plan once I did pick a major.

After graduating high school and witnessing the family problems going on at home, I decided to live with my parents and attend a community college. My college career had a rough beginning. Soon after I began the fall semester, the arguments at home were intolerable and lead to my parent’s divorce. Not only did I have to deal with school assignments, now I had to recover from the psychological abuse I had suffered. Although it was a very difficult time for me, I kept myself distracted with school so that I would not think about my family issues.

Just two years ago, if someone would have told me that I would have a 3.9 GPA in college and that I would have dreams that are close to coming true, I would have laughed straight in their face. I was never truly inspired before in life, and I thought, with all the trouble that I got into in high school, that I was just a bad person, and that bad people do not get to achieve dreams. I was confused, a mess, and I did not even know how a "troubled youth" as I was labeled, would be able to do successfully in life. As I stated before in this application, I was diagnosed with a lot within high school, but it does not start there.

I am delighted I have been able to be part of the Early Decision 2 pool as Fairfield University is the only college I want to attend.

My college experience and performance could be compared to that of a rollercoaster ride. While fresh out of high school, I had a vision of majoring in Chemistry and being accepted into medical school. However, a few early bad grades, a couple semesters off, and an unwilling desire to attend school, have brought me to the position I am currently in.

We all have times where we have failed at not only in one thing, but many. In some cases it can be something very small like a spelling test, or something that is a big deal like AP exams. In my case I can talk about a lot of times in my life that I have failed at things at it either affected me in a significant way or just didn’t faze me. One particular incident where I felt like everything just went up in flames was when I auditioned for the high school DSA. I felt like I had prepared myself for this violin audition as much as possible, knowing that the positions for violin was very competitive.
The holidays dawned me again with a bittersweet numbness. I do not quite understand why but maybe considering the fact that throughout my teenager life, I look at things with a different perspective. Christmas season, my birthday, New Year’s Eve or just any other joyful occasion, this seemingly disheartened ghost that is latched on my soul had guided me to never experience a day with no qualms.
