Personal Narrative: My Experience At Brevard College

502 Words3 Pages

The best part of this semester has been meeting new friends and people that aren’t mean and talk about you behind your back. Meeting mature individuals has defiantly made my experience here at Brevard College a positive on but I love how willing to help the professors are because I don’t dread going to class. It may not be my strongest subject but if you go talk to the teachers they are more than will to help out.
The low point of being at school for me like many incoming freshman is not being close to home. I get home sick a lot and call my parents all of the time because at the end of the day they are my best friends and it is just hard to be away for so long. When my parents realized how hard of a time I was having they started to come …show more content…

I learned how to become self-sufficient and go talk to teachers because they won’t bite they are more than willing to help. Also I have always been good a suppressing certain emotions until I was in a place that I could constructively let out my emotions but in being here and dealing with certain people I have learned even more how to do that and not let what certain people say to effect me.
I am most proud of the fact that I will go to professors’ office hours and talk to them if I am struggling because before college I was so shy I would never have dreamed to do something like that. Also I am proud that I was able to find friends because I am a shy person and I shockingly enough out myself out there and it ended up paying off with really amazing friends!
For my future time at Brevard College I want to expand the amount of friends and I think the best way to do that would be to join clubs. Also, in this upcoming semester I want to continue to go to more of my professors’ office hours more often because I feel like when I get to know a professor a little bit more it makes me more comfortable in class to say

Upon arriving to Miami Dade College, you will never imagine all the resources offered to students to succeed during their scholastic years. I’ve been lucky enough to been advised by some of the best staff at their Interamerican campus. From their advisement office to their profoundly knowledgeable professors. As a current student of ENC1102, we were required to attend one section with a tutor at the writing center. I always thought I had sufficient knowledge of the English language and taking time out of my busy schedule to attend a section with a tutor was absurd.

My proudest achievement would be getting into Cumberland International Early College and making it oy my senior year. The three years I have spent at Cumberland International have been very difficult because of many reasons such as being on the campus of Fayetteville State University, taking almost two years of high school in only two semesters, and being pushed to excel from the beginning in order to prepare to take full level college courses by our tenth grade year. Although I struggled during my time at CIECHS it was a truly amazing opportunity to be accepted as the third graduating class of its time. Being at a school that had only been running for two full years has both positive and negative aspects. We were changing the curriculum

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.

Even through all of the trials and tribulations of trying to make it through high school, I still decided to continue my education. I have pushed on and tried my very best to go on with schooling with what I was taught and what I have had to teach myself. Throughout high school I had to work on my school work around my parents schedule due to the fact that they work shift work and I have to watch my two younger siblings. Not much has changed in that aspect of life, I still have to work around my parents schedule and watch my little siblings while working a full time job. Something that has helped me to get through both high school and this first semester of college is that I do my very best to figure out how to do assignments on my own and was always willing to ask for help when I couldn't grasp how to do something on

If school was a desert, friends would be the icing to my cake. They always make the day a little bit sweeter. Usually I wouldn't be as outgoing to meet new people, but I have adjusted and encountered new classmates. Secondly, I have improved with asking teachers for help when I need assistance. In the beginning of the year, I wasn't very confident when asking for support.

So life had to drastically transition from me being a lax sophomore that depended on my parents to plan everything for me and keep me in check for school work to living on my own and not having that sturdy support. At this school when I was learning to become an independent individual I had many opportunities to work on my time management and scheduling, and I had to learn how to get over my emotions on my own as a teenager with no parent or sibling to express these feeling to. Also through this whole school experience I had to have relationships with my teachers independently be able to figure out compromises and create bonds with them, without the help of parents and keeping a handle on my

Symoi Halsoll I overcame many obstacles to become this person I am today. I never knew each year things would get challenging for me that would change my life forever. My family was from Kingston, Jamaica so I really didn’t understand that much of the United States because they were somewhat learning about the country too. When attending school, I never use to fit in with the other kids; I would only have one or two friends.

As a student at Wellesley College, I hope to accomplish two main things, one of which is to create lifelong friendships. As an introvert, it is sometimes hard for me to go out and make new friends. I have found that having a few close, meaningful friendships is better than trying to be friends with everyone. At Wellesley, I hope to make a few lifelong friends, which should not be too hard due to the broad range of people who attend the school. My mother is an alumna of Wellesley College, and I know she is still in touch with friends she made during her time at Wellesley.

Going to office hours helped with projects, assignments and tests. I have also build relationships with other students in the school of business. Next semester I would like to build relationships with students older than me with the same degree so they can tell me what they like about their major. My goals have not changed much from the beginning of the semester to the end. My personal goal for this semester was to have a 3.5 GPA which I believe will happen.

The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell.
