Personal Narrative: My Next Year At Embry-Riddle

495 Words2 Pages

Next year at Embry-Riddle I plan start studying Cyber Intelligence and Security. Ever since middle school I knew I had a developing interest in the field of computer science and spent most of my time building the skills to excel in my classes. One of the first projects I got to use the computer on was a video for the Oregon Trail. I decided that it would be best to design an advertisement to showcase the facts in a new and creative way. When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people. As proud as I was in this project I knew I couldn’t stop there and continued to seek out opportunities to better myself and the environment around me. Some of the favorite things I have done include attending a cyber forensics seminar and obtaining an award in a coding event for best educational game. The reason I choose Embry-Riddle as opposed to …show more content…

In past years I have taken web design, intro to java programming, and game design. At first I was planning to take an easier set of classes for my senior year but I looked at the classes from Embry-Riddle and decided to challenge myself. One of the other AP classes I ended up in was government politics. In this class there is a lot of overlapping issues with government and cyber forensics. Examples of these include the Apple vs. FBI case and the Hillary Clinton email sever scandal. Both of these stories covered by the news are only touching the surface of what is to come, the court interpretation of the 4th amendment search and seizure in criminal cases has the potential to redefine the unstated but implied right to privacy. I would like to be a part of this expanding debate and help protect the privacy of others while also taking down those who represent a clear and present danger to

Personal Narrative: My Life At Oberlin College

226 Words | 1 Pages

For the past two years, I have been inundated with letters from colleges, which were excessive to the point of forcing me to throw away unopened, unread letters because I was too overwhelmed with the enormity of the decision that lay before me. But Oberlin has somehow mastered the art of informing without smothering. I was sent postcards about Oberlin that told me about life at Oberlin, and showed me the soul of the school. I felt that Oberlin genuinely “wished I was there”, and I began to wish I was there, too. So when I started seriously researching my options I realized that Oberlin College had a vibrant, diverse history department, a dynamic English department, and offered a concentration in education.

First of all, thanks for taking your time to write this recommendation letter, considering you probably have many more to write. I wish for you to write one because your sophomore English Honors class was the first challenging class I experienced in all my years of learning. I remember failing the first essay you assigned; I felt like giving up and I was certain the class would be more challenging than I previously thought. My prognostication was right, it was not easy, however I did improve by the end of the year and I had confidence in performing sharpened English work in my Junior and Senior year. To this day, I continue to improve my literary essays now that I have AP.

Personal Narrative: My Educational Journey

571 Words | 3 Pages

When I read The Lord of the Rings I remember a quote that sums up my current educational journey, “Home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread through shadows to the edge of night, until the stars are all alright.” In high school I had no idea what I was doing or where I was going with life. As a kid I had dreams of being a Jedi when I grew up, and the next Indiana Jones, or an actor. I could do and be anything I wanted, and it was not an impossible thought since I had taken an interest in doing activities around these different subjects. I was even learning the piano and violin and I still play to this day.

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.
