Liberty University Student Reflection

Improved Essays
This is my first year attending Liberty University as a freshman and so far I am very happy to be here. My current academic standing right now I’m on Academic Warning. Before I came to this school I attended another online school named, “American Public University”. I started off doing well but later in my sophomore year I became pregnant. It became hard for me to work long hours every day and being pregnant. I had a wonderful successful pregnancy, but I was constantly feeling drained. I ended up failing two classes because it was too late to drop them and that brought my GPA down very low. After that, I took a break to focus more on my son and work.
I try to have a set schedule for my school work and still take care of my son. If I have any assignments due on Thursday and the following week Monday, I start my assignments on Tuesday’s so that I can complete some of my work since I am taking two classes at a time. Wednesday’s I’m wrapping up what is left to do so that on Thursday I can submit my work which is usually discussion assignments. If I have a quiz or paper due on Monday I spend Friday and Saturday focusing and trying to plan everything out in my head before I start writing. My boyfriend doesn’t work on the weekends so he will take our son off my hands so that I can complete my work. Sunday’s I’m almost finished with my paper and by Monday I’m still doing last minutes touches making sure everything is perfect reading it over three times

My job experience is Retail, I’ve worked in retail since I was 19. It’s hard trying to break out of that when you don’t have a degree or any experience other than retail. I enjoy staying at home with my son while in school because I feel like if I were to work I would miss out on so much at this moment. So far I have been getting a lot of help from my family especially when I need to complete my school work. I haven’t had any issues and I’ve been able to complete all my assignments on

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    I am currently a senior in the Helms School of Government at Liberty University. I found out about your Global Internship Program through Dr. Cox who teaches my Corrections class. After doing research on your website I was very impressed. Being able to practice the skills that I have learned over the years such as government relations and disaster response, while implementing my Christian worldview in serving others would be an amazing experience. I would be a great addition to your team because of my past experience with serving on mission’s trips, living in a foreign country for a year and a half, and being on Liberty University’s student leadership team.…

    Freshman Seminar has had a very important impact on me so far this year, I have learned a lot of school, and life advice while taking this class. When I saw on my schedule that I would be taking this class I thought that it was going to be easy, and I would not be doing anything but sitting around and listening to lectures, I was wrong. I have learned so much from this class from calculating my GPA, to managing my bills. We have had a very challenging project called the "My Budget Project" and the main thing that this project has taught me is that you will always have to pay price whether it is dealing with currency, or decisions. Throughout this process of completing this project, I have learned a lot about myself, and how much stuff really…

    I am terrified of the reflection that full length windows show. I glance into these windows and I see how I walk, a stride that is slightly off balance and resembles that of a drunk person. This walk is a lifelong reminder that there was a lack of oxygen to my brain during my birth—the evidence that I have Cerebral Palsy. As I prepare to graduate in May from Vanderbilt University, I find myself conflicted between recognizing that I am incredibly fortunate to have a Vanderbilt education, but also accepting that having a visible disability at Vanderbilt has been a challenging experience. .…

    I started working at Naf Naf Grill during my junior year because I wanted to help my mom with the family expenses. My mom has been a single mom for ten years and one way I can help her is by giving her some of the money that I make. My mom struggles a lot to pay the family expenses and I see her struggle as she usually does overtime and works sixteen hour shifts as a Critical Care Assistant at Mount Sinai Hospital. She gets home really tired just to go straight to sleep to be able to work the next day.

    Written language is a trait known to be only possessed by mankind.

    Spending my time at RVEC has been a quick overlook of how things really are in high school and as being an early college student. I am at my first quarter, and it has been a quick roll with learning how to glide along effectively. This includes study skills, time management, and how to better improve my learning in all classes, even outside activities. All the skills I’ve learned so far from freshman seminar is really showing an effect with how I become successful here at RVEC. The best part that I really enjoyed about the freshman seminar class is that it makes me realize and understand what life is really going to be like when I’m first starting finish school/college, when I live the “adult” life, pursuing my career, and withholding many responsibilities.…
