    I would be an asset in the program because I love interacting with people and learning new ways to improve their lives. I quickly discovered my passion for children and this field through the past two years of work experience at the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home (LBCH). I am fortunate enough to be the recreation leader, lifeguard, and math tutor of a diverse group of kids with heart-wrenching upbringings, circumstances, and for some, communication setbacks. My inner longing to provide more assistance to them communication-wise grows daily. The knowledge I am obtaining at ULM, the child-interaction skills I am gaining through the LBCH, and the God-given love and compassion for people all contribute and work simultaneously towards thriving…

    Reflection On Tim Love

    After conducting an in-depth interview with successful college graduate, Tim Love, I have formed multiple connections from his college experience to ideas presented in past readings, lectures and discussions. Before explaining my findings, I think it is important to note that Tim is a thirty-three year-old married father of one daughter (soon-to-be two daughters) who works as a dean for Loyola University where he attended college and received a major in Italian. The first insight I formed was that Tim’s idea of success is fairly equivalent to that of a successful person as defined by this course’s instructors. Tim’s idea of success is being able to work hard at something, such as solving a problem, while being able to produce an unintentional…

    Today, June 18th, 2017, marks the last day of my first week of college at Paul Quinn College and I am proud to say, “I survived”. Committing to Paul Quinn was a really big decision for me because this school is a 17 hour drive away from my home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. I was afraid that I might get homesick or that I would not have the support of my family because I would be so far away from home. Soon, after visiting the Dallas campus, I realized that Paul Quinn was the school for me. This is the school where I will grow as an individual and I have come to that realization in my first week of college through the many conversations with upperclassmen, faculty, alumni and summer bridge students.…

    There are many justifications as to why I decided to attend American Public University (APUS). The three main reasons: I want to be an encouragement to my children, I want a solid career foundation, plus enhancing my education will also help me to improve my own self-assurance.

I am deeply appreciative of the knowledge and understanding of what is possible they have given me.

In camps people from any and everywhere join our campfire meals. Frequently populated with college aspirants and graduates who paint glowing pictures of their alma maters and how their education translated into future success are the most interesting to me.…

    I feel it is very important to demonstrate qualities including leadership, scholarship, character, and service daily no matter where you are, what are you doing, or who you may be with. Leadership starts daily when one rises for the day. Preparing for the day, whether for school or work, not being late, being ahead of schedule shows interest in your challenges; your preparedness for your work. This also applies no matter where you are, for there are others that notice your actions and words regardless, of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or social or economic standing.

    Druid Hills is a Title one school with at least 40% of students on free and reduced lunch. Because of this, there is a great disparity within the school, with several students living in million dollar homes, while a marked amount relies on food stamps.

Each year, the program has around 35 members, a microcosm within the sea of 2,000 who overall attend Druid Hills. Within this focused, dedicated group, I was able to gain a sense of community.…
