Dual Enrollment Assignment

Improved Essays
When it came time to choose the classes I was going to take my senior year, I decided to enroll in the dual enrollment English class offered at my school.I met all the necessary requirements, but I did not receive my student ID number from the community college that was needed to complete my application to schedule to take the placement exam. After two trips to the community college, I had my ID number and was eligible to take the exam, but there were no more spots for the test held at my school. Being that I preferred receiving outright college credits, I had to schedule the exam on the college campus. I scored high enough not to worry about getting a seat in the class. Towards May, the assistant principal told me that my chances of her placing

    On September 25, 2015, I had an appointment set up with an academic advisor at the Heavener School of Business in 333 Heavener. In further detail, my advising appointment was at 1:30pm and with Leigh Smadbeck. Furthermore, the key points I wanted to discuss with my advisor were to map out my four year academic plan, consider what type of minors I should pursue, acquire additional information about the Masters of International Business program, and attain how the study abroad programs may be beneficial toward my academic career. Once I arrived and walked into Leigh’s office, I could tell she was concerned about my personal and professional development as well as seek additional resources to enhance my undergraduate experience.…

    Going to college can be very hard and challenging for some students such as myself. I remember the first time I entered Folsom Lake College to take my assessment test for Math and English, I was very confused and lost. At that time, I wasn’t driving and my brother took me and he told me that he was going to wait for me in the parking lot. When I finished my test, I tried to go back where my brother parked his car but I got lost.…

    “Why I Chose Southwest” As a homeschooled high school senior, I am unable to take Advanced Placement courses, which are college-level classes taken at a high school. Students earn college credits by taking an exam at the end of the year. To remedy this, I decided to register at Southwest Tennessee Community College for dual enrollment classes. I chose Southwest for a multitude of reasons: to complete my high school education, to provide challenging courses in preparation for college, and to grant me college credit. I opted to take Pre Calculus, English Composition, and Anatomy & Physiology this semester.…

    During my junior year I experienced failure. I had taken 3 AP classes and I was in cheer at my high school, and trying to figure out a balance between the two was difficult for me because it seemed like cheer took up a lot of my time and in the past other two years it had, but I had managed to still do well in my honors and AP classes. My junior year was another story, I struggled a lot at the beginning of the school year, and most of first semester was spent with me having an F sometimes more than one, and that was a failure to me because I had my heart set on going to a four college or university and I knew that if i had an F i wouldnt qualify.…

    So he decided to call the students one by one but of course he was basing himself on the roster that he had. Indeed my turned came, and he told me that sadly I didn’t pass, and that he was sad because, he knew that I was a good student that he doesn’t know what happened to me. So yes the next semester came around, and it’s like this if you don’t pass it they right away give you a retaining class which that pretty much means that you didn’t pass the test, and in the other hand you’re going to waste another half semester in a retaining class instead of you taking another, class that it could be really useful, or one that you just simply need. Well long story short I finally walked in, and I actually got a pretty nice teacher that he could actually controlled the classes that he had. Well indeed, finally the day of the exam came over, and I simply told myself that I could do it that I simply just had to read it carefully, and just simply had to take my time, and this time I was going to pass because, I had a really good teacher, and…

    “I know applying to colleges is the last thing you want to do right now, but you might change your mind,” a trusted friend told me. It was December of my senior year of high school, and college application deadlines were approaching quickly. I was recovering from a major illness at the time, and wasn’t ready to think about college. My plan was to spend a year living at home and working before I pursued higher education.

    ‘Just one hour of this and you can go back to sleep’ was the phrase I groggily repeated to myself as I got ready to register for my freshman year of high school. Had I known that the mountain of paperwork I was about to fill out that late July morning would ultimately lead to me finding my passion, I would have definitely been a lot more enthusiastic. I traded all my information for my schedule, only to realize that there was one slight problem: P.E. was on my list of courses for the year. Physical education? I sought out my counselor immediately to fix this quandary.…

    There are several experiences in my life where I have felt that I was treated in an unfair manner, but the most recent of those experiences is the one that occurred to me only months prior to this application. Up until the beginning of November of this year, I used to believe that being a great and successful student would be the most rewarding accomplishment of my senior high career. As a result of this, I unwisely assumed that the most important thing in my life was how well I could do on the next test. I spent a meager amount of my time involved in anything else aside from my homework or studying; expecting to be fairly remunerated for a majority of my hard work. Earlier this year, I was indeed rewarded with an application to National Honors…

    What initially stimulated my interest in the field of dental hygiene was doing a research project on the occupation of a dental hygienist while I was in high school. From doing the project, I learned the tasks, years of education, hours, and salary of a dental hygienist which further intrigued my interest in the field. When I was younger, I had braces and learned that I would need jaw surgery, which made me more curious about the dental field. The more research and experiences I encountered in this field, the more I knew I wanted to be a dental hygienist. My desire to be a dental hygienist has increased as I’ve participated with professionals and observed a broad range of procedures.…

    Coming to the conclusion that I would like to transfer from Temple University was a hard and heartbreaking decision, but I felt it had to be done. The sense of community and the support on campus was positive and I’d love to see that in the school I attend in the fall. I admire how close-knit Temple is despite its size. However, the size of the school has been an issue in the aspect of the university's overall organization. There was no entrance exam for Mandarin Chinese, and when I tried to be placed into a higher Mandarin class I was told to meet with several different people and there was a lot of miscommunication.…
