In my opinion though, being a resident assistant would not even be seen as a job because I would enjoy it very much. During the end of September, I approached my resident assistant with all of my questions about trying to get this position.…

    I believe that my biggest challenge was my lack of humility and modesty. Coming into Xavier High School, I was an Ignatian Scholar, taking all honors classes and being seen as the best of the best among the freshmen class. Through the new pressures and more difficult work, my experiences of high school became rather overwhelming to me, and I began to receive the lowest grades I had ever received. Although I was offered a tutor, I did not believe that I needed one since I never needed help in any time in my schoolings. Ever since grammar school, I was used to being the smartest person in the room and ecstatic to be the first person in my family to finish high school and go to college.…

Whether you think you have your perfect school picked out or you have no idea where you want to go to college, a college checklist can help you find the best places to apply. To start your checklist, make a list of qualities you either want or do not want in a college. Then you can check off items as you look at different universities.…

While in high school I would usually write all of my essays a day before the due date a habit of mine that was very difficult to overcome, but now I have learned from my mistakes.…
