straightforward‚ I did not focus much on my schoolwork. I did what was required of me and got good grades‚ but I did not go above and beyond. I had always been told by upperclassman‚ “It only gets harder from here. Enjoy it while you can.” Now I realize what that means. Last year as a junior‚ it was my first year taking AP classes. I had taken honors classes before so how hard could it be? But I soon realized that the differences between my underclassman and upperclassman experience would be very

experienced racism‚ I was a young naïve 18 year old girl. It was my first year in college right out of high school‚ and it was my first time outside of my predominately black world. I had just moved to San Bernardino‚ Ca to attend college‚ from South Central Los Angeles. I had gone to an all-black high school‚ attended an all-black church and at the time had all black friends. I remember the first day my family packed me up and we headed off to my new life in college. I had only been in school for a little

My First Learning Team Experience My involvement in the Learning Team environment at the University of Phoenix has been a great learning experience. When we were assigned teams at the end of the first week‚ I did not really know what to expect. I have worked on teams numerous times in my career‚ both in the professional and private sectors. The teams I have worked on have always been to either produce a product or improve a process. Learning has always been a part of these teams‚ but I have

My experience with failure came with athletics. For my whole life I have always been involved in sports like soccer‚ tennis‚ basketball. When I was in the fourth grade I joined a swim team and that was the first and really only sport that I stuck with; swimming came naturally to me‚ and it was something that I could do year round and I loved every minute of it. However‚ once I was in high school I stopped swimming and joined my high school’s cross country team. My dad was a runner all throughout

In my opinion being a tutor is more than helping a busy college student complete a homework assignment or studying for an upcoming exam. You can offer much more to someone struggling when you have experienced what they are going through. Many college students hold part-time jobs‚ take several credits‚ and get very few hours of sleep which leave them stressed and overwhelmed. When students come to me for tutoring I don’t just complete the assignment and send them on my way. I ask them

My experience with words goes way back. Much like Sherman Alexie‚ I was very young when first exposed to words‚ so young I can’t remember there being a time before books were a part of my life. I imagine my mother was was reading to me since my first day of life. She would read me story after story in the quiet hours before bedtime‚ stories about fantastic creatures and magical places. I never wanted the stories to end. Before I could fully understand words I had loved them. When I finally grew

My experience at Golden Corral was awesome. The first time I went to Golden Corral‚ I was in Clarksville for a field trip. I thought it wouldn’t be a decent restaurant because I’ve never heard of it‚ but I was wrong. Everything about this place is wonderful. No other restaurant can beat this one. Golden Corral is an American family-style restaurant. It serves breakfast‚ lunch‚ and dinner‚ featuring an all-you-can-eat buffet with a wide variety of foods to choose from. They have a salad bar and

[Lantier . Session 1 . Journal] My Life Changing Experience That Led Me to CCU My life changed when I became an addict. I was addicted to Meth. It is not a road anyone would want to go down‚ but I chose this road for a long time. Let’s just say it led me down a bad path to nowhere. I lost my dignity‚ my job and my self- respect. My family didn’t want to be around me‚ and that hurt me so deeply. I felt so alone at times‚ and often begged God to take me. It all started when my grandfather passed away. He

When I was five years old and starting kindergarten‚ I tried to make friends with my classmates. However‚ things just didn’t turn out as I expected because whenever I tried to communicate with the other students‚ I was unable to express my thoughts clearly. It turned out that I had a communication disorder‚ and it became the greatest challenge I had to face throughout my childhood. When my mother noticed that I didn’t have a lot of friends at PS 102‚ she took me for tests and I was diagnosed with
