Personal Narrative: My Walden University Journey

884 Words4 Pages

Introduction

This paper is to define and understand who I am as a student and what direction I need to take to complete my degree and pursue a successful career in life.
I was born in St. Ann, Jamaica to hardworking parents and I was raised in the catholic church. I grew up thinking about becoming a cosmetologist but as I become older my direction shifted to law. Unlike many of the other professionals, my passion as I migrated to the states was law because it is a great security aspect and my desire to be in the court room is always something I love, and would love to help people who are unable to secure a lawyer. I do believe with my desire and determination I can make a difference in this world: I can see myself running a law firm in years to come, once I work hard and put in the work. …show more content…

The University is known for its value for integrity, truth, and honesty and expects all students to imbibe the culture of integrity, quality and self-centeredness, the school offers and teaches.

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.

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!

Growing up in a small coastal village, has provided me with a great sense of community, but it does not feed my intellectual and cultural appetite. As a child, I would fantasize about living in Los Angeles, a haven for people of all variations. I began the search for colleges in the Southern California area, when I discovered Occidental College. I was in disbelief when I found such a perfect college, almost tailor made to my wishes. Occidental is unique in the fact it resides is the bustling metropolis of Los Angles but reserves the qualities of a small town life with its intimate population.

I’m aflame, but there’s no need to stop, drop, and roll. Burning with passion, my love of learning roars from my lunchtime chats that are as likely to be about fauvism as the colorless chicken nuggets that lie blandly on the lunch tray, to the pivotal interview that sparked my interest in College of Wooster. Although I love to converse, my passion ultimately lies in independent study; through Wooster’s mentored student research, I can pursue the questions I have with the depth they require. Yet regardless of discussion topic, no fire burns in straight lines. My fire is nebulous, my passions varied, my interests interdisciplinary.

I came to SDSU a little worried about how big the campus was because the area of the campus is bigger than my hometown. I did not know whether I was going to make friends and fit in like I did back home. Going to all of the events around campus has definitely help in getting familiar with the campus and finding people to hang out with. I have found a group of friends that I am excited to get to know more by attending these events with them. The college offers so many opportunities to get involved in many different things.
