“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.” Chris Grosser

I remember getting off the yellow school bus that morning feeling very anxious. While walking towards my school’s office, my mind began to drift. My mother’s conversation with me that night began to slowly repeat in my head. I knew this was a great opportunity and getting accepted would make her happy. In order to get accepted into the career center there are requirements that I had to fulfil. These included a 2.0 GPA, one or two more electives, and a application form completed and handed in to the guidance counselor. My thoughts instantly got interrupted by my best friend named Nawal. She was a little taller than me, very diligent, and considerate. We began discussing whether or not we got accepted and if there were any seats left to join the dental assisting program.
A week has gone by and I felt more eager to know if I got accepted in my desired school. It was only a matter of time, I take responsibility to schedule with my counselor and find out for myself. I can feel my sweating palms and

The reason why I didn’t get accepted to Fort Hayes is because I did the wrong paper and turned it into the counselor. Instead of asking for help or double checking, I was careless. I was sixteen and felt like I knew what I was doing and shouldn't ask for any help. Asking good questions is not a bad thing it gives you a better sense, opens your mind, and it can be meaningful in both short and long term. Two years went by; I was a senior and was ready to graduate. Thinking back to my Sophomore year I realized I never wanted to major in Dental Hygiene but got very interested in Nursing after my research. Not getting accepted to the career center was not a bad thing after all. As you get older your mind begins to adjust and grow as well. I believe that we as individuals sometimes tend to forget

    Oshkosh Research Paper

    She worked really hard in all of her classes, but especially her nursing classes because she knew that the reward would pay off. Studying every time she could, she thought that she would have a chance at getting into the program. All of her hard work paid off and her GPA was really good, but most likely not good enough to get into Oshkosh’s nursing program the first semester she applied. She now faced a new problem; trying to figure out the next step in her college career. Many advisors had always told her to think of a plan B, but she never thought about it in the depth that people had wanted her to- she didn’t think that a plan B was even in the future. Although Oshkosh is a great school, there are other schools that would be a good fit as well. These schools have good programs that are easier to get into and she could go right when she applied. Another problem for Jensen was that her general education classes were complete so it wouldn’t make sense to stay at Oshkosh for another semester and take filler classes, as that would be a waste of time and money. Jensen knew what the next step would be and was feeling confident about it. She would go to a different school if Oshkosh didn’t accept her on the first…

    When I started my junior year of high school I went to the career center for dental assisting. I was expecting to go to enroll into Columbus State Community College, get a major in Dental Hygiene, and then get my Dental Hygienist license in two years. However, after the last two years of being in the Dental Assisting program, like Shelia, I knew I did not want to be what I thought I wanted to be. I am going in a new direction, to major in nursing. One reason is, since I was young I always took extra concern for people’s wellbeing and would like to make a career out of it. I would also like to expand my nursing and become a Pediatrician. The second reason why Shelia’s story is relatable to mine is that I am great with little kids and I think that being a Pediatrician would be a good career for…

I looked beyond my homework assignment and got great advice from teachers, although did not seek advice from counselors regarding how life was outside of high school. On the other hand, I left with the most knowledge on how to pursue in college. I had some low and high grades such as math was very distressed course.

    So, in the end, I learned a valuable lesson that can be relevant to others in many different situations. I was worried for so many years that maybe I was not smart enough to go to college or to be a nurse. Once I was able to find the confidence in myself to take the first steps I realized that I am not alone, there are other people in similar situations coming back to school to get a fresh start as well. It is important that people not be afraid to ask for help or to ask questions. We cannot let the fear of our past or the fear of the unknown hold us back from accomplishing our goals and…

    I had finally been given the opportunity to continue my higher education at an American institution. I knew that this was the chance I had been waiting for: the chance to study dentistry in a country where oral hygiene is incredibly important. However, there were several hurdles along the way I needed to overcome. Initially, I was completely unaware of how the American education system operated. My poor background in the English language made it even harder to overcome this obstacle. To add to this stress, my father was diagnosed with acute arthritis in his neck; a cervical spine fusion in C6 and C7 was pinching the nerve in his right arm, which was causing it to go numb. He wasn’t able to work and went through an extensive amount of painful physical therapy. The circumstances made it harder for me to focus on my dreams. Unfortunately, I had to work fulltime while I was still a fulltime student in college, which was detrimental to my grades. However, I worked even harder and by the time I was a junior in college, I was maintaining dean’s list as a full time student, while working…

    My hands were nervously shaking as I tried to open the letter. Was it a rejection? An acceptance? My whole spring break was haunted by this one single letter. Finally, I opened the letter and my eyes began to scan the letter. My eyes scanned it again and again, processing what just happened… I MADE IT! I could barely hold in the joy! I didn’t know what was happening, but my feet were moving towards my parents room, and I barged in. Mom! Dad! I became a FMP! I’m in the Freshmen Mentor Program.…

    Goal and Register Nurse

    • 971 Words
    • 4 Pages

    My motivation to succeed in life and college starts with my ambition to want more than just a job that pays well, but a career that I love doing. I was in the navy for four years active and I loved it, but I didn’t feel fulfilled in life. Something was missing. So I made the decision to become a reservist and finish my degree and pursue my dream of becoming a Register Nurse. That dream is put on hold for now only because the school that I attended told me that even if I had all the necessary points needed, I still might not be accepted into the nursing program. I had a tough decision to make. Do I stay in this school and keep wasting time or do I go to another school and pursue something else in the medical field? That is when I decided to come to California College San Diego and pursue a degree in Medical Specialties. When I am done with this program, I would have two careers that I would enjoy doing. I would be certified in multiple areas such as: medical assistant, home health aide, pharmacy technician, nursing assistant, and medical billing and coding. Although I want to be a Register Nurse, I will use this as a stepping stool to reach my goal and dream.…

    Now I had an important decision to make: let cognitive dissonance take over and curb my toward what the epitome of success had to offer, or realize that maybe this place wasn't for me. I want to be in a place open to ideas with plenty of classes from which to choose, I want to study what I dream about and, most importantly, I want to be my own person, not one in a crowd of many. I decided to revise my previous idea of what a successful life meant and do what I felt would prepare me for who I wanted to be as an adult; I canceled my application and explained to my family why I took such a drastic step. On my own time, I figured out who I wanted to be, even if that meant not having the fortune and fame that came with stereotypical success, and this made me feel like a new person. I know I will not regret my decision and that my future is going in the proper direction for me to reach my goal: to study microbiology throughout college and graduate school, and work at the CDC, a dream completely different from the one I started with, but also one so much more true to my…

    I was thinking of all the ways I could have started this essay, but to be quite frank I couldn't come down to a decision. I felt that I should truly write why I wanted to attend the dental hygiene program here and why I should be chosen. I have heard from a lot of people who attended school here, and they gave good feedback on their experience. I did research on my own and saw that this was a good accredited school to start my career. If you were to base admission to this institution down to this letter, it would only be fair to me to let you know a little about me and my background.…

    Literacy Narrative

    It was a beautiful summer day at the beginning of my senior year. Students were anxious to meet their teachers and begin the last year of their high school career. There were those excited to graduate that knew exactly what they wanted to do with their life. Then there were those like me who had no idea what college they would be attending the following year. I knew I wanted to go to college, but I had no idea which one I wanted to attend or what my major would be. After I arrived that morning, I walked into the crowded hallway of my 4A public school on my way to my first and hardest class, pre-calculus AP. I was one of the last ones to enter the classroom and had no other choice but to sit next to my ex-best friend. It was already a bad day. Once the bell rang, Mr. Rogers, an older teacher with gray hair and big circular glasses, stood in front of the classroom and began teaching our first lesson. Within five minutes of the lesson, I was already lost. Once he turned around to see if anyone had questions, I was the first one to raise my hand.…
