By rooming with someone I didn't know at all my first year, I felt the awkwardness in the room. I realize, when I do go to a college there's going to be a roommate that I don't know. By talking to my roommate, we started the build a mutual friendship. Then he started to introduced me to the people he knew, and we started to bond.

The staff members basically told me how it is in a college. All the time management skills that needed to be master before and after entering college. They told us ways to easily apply for scholarships and grant, and what website to use. They also told us that different college and university look for different requirements for applying for their schools. I always see the P.A. managing us but also doing their school work. Being focus on graduating from college is what I should be most important in my life when I do go to college. Being very organized in in the college school is what help you graduate from college.

The Emerging Scholars program really benefited my life in so many ways. The program made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Emerging scholars prepared members in my cohort and me to great a great college

    Loss of Jobs Across Nation As of October, 2016 the unemployment rate for the United States has raised to a whopping 4.5%, about 2% higher than it was in 1954. The loss of jobs our nation faces is one of the biggest social issues we have and will most likely have for many years to come.

    Joining the New Visions program was one of the wisest decisions I have made. When nurses that I shadow at Unity Hospital express how jealous they are that they didn’t have a program like this when they were in high school, it reminds me to take advantage of this opportunity that not every student receives. I am confident that when I graduate college, I will be able to recollect this program, and how it led me to be successful. I will reminisce about the long hours dedicated to each college-level assignment in determination to receive a grade in the high 90’s, or that moment when I witnessed a five pound baby be born from a cesarean delivery, or even when I stood next to the operating table observing a total knee replacement surgery, while the surgeon and nurses took the time to teach me about what they were doing--an opportunity that not even college nursing students were able to see. Every assignment I completed, conversation I had, and person I met, has transformed me into a more educated and open minded student.…
