Brown is a place where students have the freedom to grow, learn about themselves, and enjoy life. In all my years of school there was always someone looking over my shoulder, interjecting their opinions, or spoonfeeding me the answers. I want my college education to be my own. Taking ownership of my education is a large responsibility, but I am mature enough to handle the challenge. The collaborative atmosphere of Brown, where students work with, instead of against, one another, will give me the guidance and support I need to figure out the best educational path for myself.…
Being the first in the family to take interest in college is already enough for everyone to push me in the direction to achieving it. I do not want to disappoint them or myself, I want to be on the graduation stage with my hand grasping that master degree. About me, others describe me as opinioned, stubborn and independent. Although I do not want to admit it, these traits all apply to me. Opinioned doesn’t sound as an appealing word to me I should say I like for people to understand my views completely also I don’t mind if someone does not agree with me, it just adds more depth to the discussion.…
I was born in Asheboro, North Carolina. I have lived in North Carolina my entire life. I went to work at my first job when I was sixteen years old and remained there for thirteen years. My second and only other job that I have worked was for twenty-six years. Now the tide is moving in a different direction.…
This class helped me a lot. I learned so much in just a few weeks. Yes, the class was difficult, but I would not change it. This class was made to be challenging, and changing it would make it easier. I cannot really pinpoint one part of the class that helped me because from the beginning of this class to the end I was learning something…
During when I was in middle school I had to make many choices on what I was doing. Some choices that I’ve made during my middle school days were not good. One day my friends and I had agreed on leaving school and go to a friend’s house and just chill there playing games and having fun. But as we were about to leave I had a weird feeling that something was going go wrong, so I choose to stay at school.…
What Happened When I Came Back To School? How would you feel about going back to high school if you decided not to go to school for one year? This was me back in my sophomore year of high school.

My college search has brought me to many universities: visiting campuses, and talking to students, alumni, and faculty. While I could receive an excellent education from any of these schools, Notre Dame offers something "more. " I first noticed this something "more" through a contact I made with Kyle Cowdrick, ND class of 2015, who I have been emailing back and forth with over the last year about admissions, Notre Dame, and the college experience. I once asked him why he bothered to use his precious time to mentor me, someone he barely knew before, his answer: "It's the Irish way".…

When I was 15, my family and I arrived on United States of America on Feb 11, 2011.Even though I went to an English medium school in India, the transition for me was hard. I began my middle school at IS 72. I met a lot of people and I could not comprehend what they were saying. When I was in my math class, my teacher told me to introduce myself, and I was frozen and did not know what to say to them. I was feeling the pressure because my classmates were staring and waiting for my introduction.…
Tuesday, September 13th: Filled up my 2quart pitcher with some H2O when I woke up at about 8:30. I keep it next to me while I go over my class work and watch TV. It gets drank before my first class at 1:30. I always carry water with me to my classes, if I forget I stop by stars to buy one. Not often do I eat breakfast.…
In the beginning of freshman year, I attended a school that was on the other side of town. I was nervous to start school, simply because I didn’t know anybody that was going there from my previous school. I had the mentality to get good grades, try out for the soccer team, and make new friends. My one focus was to walk across that stage to get that one and only diploma. I met someone named Alexis and we planned to try out for the team together.…
How I spent my time outside of school is different from most people. Most would go out with friends to see the latest movie, and some go home and catch up on the latest episodes of their favorite TV show. I stayed at school for over 4 hours everyday to participate in sports. I was a Varsity Cheerleader for 2 years , a catcher for the varsity girls softball team I also was a player on the Variety Basketball team. For cheer leading that was the first sport I ever participated in and that's where I discovered that I enjoy yelling from the top of my lungs while in a split.…
Reflection paper There were many thing that I like and disliked from this class. One thing that I liked about the class was that we did not physically have to attend the class. That was nice because I got to sleep in a little more. That also left extra time for me to work and put in a couple more hours.…
