acquired a new perspective on service-learning‚ viewing it as more than just a requirement for a course. Four semesters have taught me the imperative nature and necessity of service learning for academic and personal growth. What I enjoyed most from my service-learning was how every semester builds upon previous experiences‚ thus‚ creating a firmly grounded foundation in service for years to come. For the Spring 2016 semester‚ I set out to perform my service-learning assignment at the agency Better

The ‘non-identifiable’ cannot be understood by reason‚ but only through experience. It is “the putting into question of that which a man knows of being” (Bataille 4) that pushes most people towards desiring to put a label upon such an understanding.

Today I interviewed my mother about her experience with September 11‚ 2001 (“9/11”). To me her experience wasn’t as exciting as if she were there‚ but pretty normal for someone who was having a typical day. On 9/11 my mom was driving down Perryville Road‚ passing Menard’s‚ to the doctor’s office where she worked at that time. She was informed about the attacks on the radio. Unfortunately she doesn’t remember what radio station it was. At first my mom thought that they were doing a joke on

country before‚ I was intrigued by the culture‚ the people and the country itself. Moving to America when I was eleven‚ the cultural lifestyle and experience I faced along the way‚ how I adapt to the journey are what shaped me into the person that I am today.

The single most impactful experience in my life is attending Ventura Community College. Nothing has hurt me more. In high school I had taken AP and IB classes and had finished within the top ten percent of my class but I had no idea what I wanted to do. I applied to some schools that I considered to be mediocre so that I could continue swimming‚ but as the application deadlines ended and most of my friends were being accepted to places such as UCLA‚ UCSB‚ and even Harvard‚ I had realized that I

I was excited to return for another year‚ however‚ there was a massive roadblock that strongly made me reconsider. As the week
