MY NEPHEW GRADUATION

In this assignment, I will be discussing my nephew, Vekarious Barnes, graduation from Florida State University (FSU).

My nephew is a very intelligent young man, that has overcome obstacles of health, and stability. As a child he has always had a passion to help others, although he himself was suffering some unforeseen health issues, he had such a stamina and perseverance that we had never seen nor witnessed he is truly deserving of this degree due to his endurance.

He has always had a liking to science. When he was in the middle school he did numerous science projects and he would win first place as he progressed to high school he was in a program offered at Lincoln High called the CARE program this is where he

He knew that he wanted to be in the science field, but he didn't know what branch of science, whether it was chemistry, biology, anatomy, etc. Finally in his junior year his mind was made up and he pursued his degree in Chemistry.

On April 29, 2011, my nephew who's name is Vekarious Barnes, graduated from FSU, with a BS in Chemistry and a minor is Physics and Mathematics. This was a highly anticipated event that the whole family was looking forward to. He had been a student there for four years and had changed his major many times. He finally made up his mind and now he has completed this part of his life.

The graduation itself was a total of three hours. It included some very special comments, and musical selections. This was a very memorable occasion because he is the first person in our second generation of family history to graduate. He now have hopes of continuing his education by attending grad school at FSU.

We celebrated his graduation with a party at TGI Fridays in Tallahassee, Florida. We had a certain part of the restaurant blocked off and we decorated it so festively with balloons, graffiti, and FSU memorabilia. There was music playing and enjoyable fellowship. We ordered food off of the menu and enjoyed festivities that included card playing, slow dance, and

    I know I’m very excited about it. As I’m getting my cap ready, decorating it and making plans with my friends; I’m reminded by my grandfather who, the day after his graduation, went to Vietnam, that not everyone gets this celebration. He didn’t get a graduation party; he didn’t get a bonfire with his friends. He walked off his graduation stage onto a plane headed for war. And how lucky are we that he did. That he and 2.5 million others did. These people didn’t get parties. They instead got flying bullets and little support from home. So please, in this time of joy for those of you graduating or celebrating a family member or friend’s graduation, do not forget of the Americans who, instead of celebrating, died on the battlefield. And instead of celebrating today as a day to barbeque and drink, remember that today, is a day of…

    From that moment I noticed that he was a good person at heart and socially aware of the many issues that plague our communities. Having had the opportunity to speak with him about his educational endeavors I quickly learned that he was very passionate about his studies. In-fact he made it very clear that he planned on pursuing his bachelor’s degree immediately following completion of his associates. I can attest to the fact that he is extremely focused and determined to complete any task placed before him. His grades are up-to-par and I’m sure that he came to Jackson State University with great references.…

    I am looking forward to describing my most memorable high school and college experiences. I would really love for my teachers to appreciate me for all the hard work I’ve done.

    She knew that she wanted to be a scientist from the age of nine and what courses she would take by the age of fifteen. She always liked learning facts and was “logical and precise, and impatient with things that were otherwise.” (PBS) Upon turning nine years old, she was shipped off to boarding school. She hated it there though, because she was away from her family. To cope with this she sent letters home every week, staying optimistic for her parents. At eleven she switched schools and went to St. Paul’s Girl’s School. This was a day school and she was much happier there.…

    Growing up in poverty not only made me the person I am today, it caused me to long for an enhanced version of myself for my future self and family. This is a goal I know I could achieve through continuing my education to Florida State University. I believe I would benefit from the community at Florida State University as I would be surrounded by other students who yearn to improve their academic career and lives, as they willingly attend to pursue their chosen degrees. Also, I’ll be able to immerse myself in clubs and organizations that consist of people who share the same dream of a career in science and medicine. The community at Florida State University will benefit from me because not only do I work my hardest, I have the dedication, and confidence, to succeed in anything I set my mind to. Working diligently at my job and school, allowed me to gain experience with time management, discover my dedication to education, and discover my dream college: Florida State…

    I won the award for Best Junior Speaker from forensics that year as well. It was a challenge to balance it all, but I took on the challenge and I loved it. I still continue all of these activities my Senior year. During my Junior year I also was elected into the chair of Vice President of Student Council and I was accepted into the National Honor Society. I continued to give back to the community by volunteering for the Friends Program and mentoring an elementary school child. That was probably one of my favorite experiences, to be able to be such a large part of a child's life was immensely rewarding.I’m still a member to this day. As my Senior year is quickly coming to an end I have continued to keep up my involved life style being elected the President of Student Council. I am also still maintaining my high academics and balancing not only all the organizations I love, but also a part time job at the Tomahawk Cinema. While I’m looking back I’m also beginning to look forward as well. In my future I plan to attend St. Cloud State University in Minnesota to major in marketing with a minor in…
