Personal Narrative: My Experience At Neosho County Community College

519 Words3 Pages

So far my first semester here at Neosho County Community College has been good. I have experienced lots of things these past six months. And there are lots of things the incoming freshman should know, but the three major things that I experienced were, procrastination, Grades and, dorm problems. I have faced those three problems a lot just in my first semester of college and those are also problems freshman all over the world face. Firstly, Procrastination is a problem I faced early in the year and I should not have. At first it did not affect me as much as I thought it would but now that the semester is almost over I am stressing over my grades. If I would have taken my time and not waited till the last minute to finish lots of my essays …show more content…

It was hard for me to do that for the first two months I would be missing lots of class due to all the soccer games we would travel to and not having lots of spare time for me to do homework since we would practice every day and that would take lots of time out of my day. Also my GPA is something I should have kept up with more I learned that it is better off to start off as a freshman with a high GPA and maintain it than to try to bring up a low GPA. Once I add more classes to my GPA average it will either go up or down in small increments. So it is better if I end first semester with a high GPA. Finally, I had to know when to say NO. I personally did not face that problem a lot because I do not drink alcohol and I honestly do not like to party. But there were points where I was tempted to do something, but I know I could, just because of the fact that I got in trouble with alcohol and my parents were to find out they would kill me. So now that I think about it all the times I would say NO. I am not here to party I am here to receive a better future, a future my parents did not have the chance to take and to play soccer those are the only things I should be focused

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.

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.

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.

I myself am the biggest procrastinator ever, for example; if possible I am always turning in my essays late and I will not start them until the day before they are do, I might set up my ideas but I will not begin the actual process. Even with my bad habit of procrastinating, I always try my best to get good grades and the only reason is because I do not want to let my dad down, he has always worked his ass off to provide me with everything I need and want. He is the only reason I work my ass off in school even if

One experience I had with procrastination was during the summer when I was supposed to read To Kill A Mockingbird and answer questions about the book. I found this way too assignment hard and difficult so I kept putting it off until the last week of the summer. By the time it was due I was only a quarter into the project and halfway done with the book. Originally, I was excited to have this assignment.

When deciding where I wanted to go for college I started big Colorado, California, New York,Georgia, basically every state was a contender for college. But then in May of my sophomore year of high school I visited New York City, the city that never sleeps drew me in the second I stepped out of my cab into Time square. The amount of people, signs and smells, can be repulsive and overwhelming for many people but to me it made me feel at home. Because of my instant love for the New York I knew college in the city would be a no brainer looking at Parsons and FIT, I always thought those would be my top choices. But then came Marist, this college a short train ride away from the city is no doubt my dream school and has been since I stumbled across

And already it’s that time of the year again. Break out those notebooks and sharpen your pencils because class is in session. Like many of us, who have been there and done that, my initial reaction was a couple groans and more than a few cries of despair (look, I’m just not ready to fight with Microsoft Word at two am, for a paper that is due in six hours), but, I have come to the conclusion that with each new semester comes new opportunities; new ways to improve myself from last semester. And though it is stressful at times, I can recognize that my education is a gift, especially here at Aquinas. As a junior I feel I have picked up some tricks of the trade to help survive throughout my stay here, and I feel it is my duty to disclose a couple

Most kids who don’t learn the rules don’t understand there is a difference between partying, and being a burn-out. That's what the freedom of sophomore year is supposed to bring, but freedom always comes at a cost. What starts out as harmless fun leads to one fumble after another and the consequences set in. I’ve heard plenty of stories where people have cried because of how sick they were, where people drove home endangering others because of their reckless ways, and people who have died or been hospitalized. The ages around sophomore year are when you start becoming older, and that’s when my dad started mentoring me to be a functioning member of society, and to know right from wrong so I may be

Freshman year I am critically going to address the importance of your first year. Its the base for the next three years. Your grade point average (GPA) contributes to setting that base, in addition, to the grades you make each year. Always remind yourself to be on top of your grades and set annual goals. Take advantage of the time spent in class, as usual, you can finish homework if you are on task.

It was not until the next day I witnessed how ill prepared procrastinating could make me. Consequently, I realized that procrastination hurt me more when I received a B as my grade for the project. Waiting until the final minute to complete any work is always unacceptable if what is wanted is a satisfactory grade, and I have worked every time to try and prevent this from happening again. Altogether, I had high and low moments in my English II class.
