Personal Narrative: My Essay About In College

Improved Essays
It would have been an easier assignment if you had asked me about what I am not concerned about in college. How can I pick one thing? Between balancing classes, work, trying to make new friends, extracurriculars, and my mental and physical health, college has been a whirlwind. You see, the thing about college is that I have more to lose. In high school, I studied, but not as much as I should have. I maintained A’s and B’s, but high school didn’t seem like a huge stepping stone towards my future. Of course, I still cared about school, but it came easy to me so I didn’t feel the need to build those study habits in the moment. It just felt like something I just had to get through to really start working towards my goals. All I had to worry about

    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.…

    “I know applying to colleges is the last thing you want to do right now, but you might change your mind,” a trusted friend told me. It was December of my senior year of high school, and college application deadlines were approaching quickly. I was recovering from a major illness at the time, and wasn’t ready to think about college. My plan was to spend a year living at home and working before I pursued higher education. In the following months, my recovery progressed rapidly.…

    All my life, I’ve been aware of the people around me and considered what I could do to make their lives more fortunate. With this interest in mind, I joined the Anti-Bulling Club (ABC) at my school in the 6th grade, eventually becoming ABC president in the 10th grade. As president, my biggest priority was to make my school a place where students were welcomed to engage in discussion unafraid of what might be said; I tried accomplishing this goal by getting volunteers to hold the doors and greet peers to school each morning. Through creating this inviting atmosphere, students participated in more constructive conversation, leading to provoking questions that even teachers could not answer. When I transitioned to community college life in the…

    Being the first from my family and also my mother’s side of the family to go to college has been the greatest accomplishment of my life, and coming here to SMU is such a privilege which will surely be beneficial to my future. Although my first year of college has not been ideal, I have been able to meet many great people and have enjoyed every step of the way; a lot which I owe CHAS to. Truthfully speaking, during my first semester at SMU I didn’t interact with as many people as I would have liked to. Coming from a high school whose student body was composed of 86% minorities and having gone to minority populated schools my entire life, I really didn’t know how to interact with most of the people at SMU.…

    I came into this class kind of dreading to take it, for I’m not a fan of writing essays. I’m glad I took this class, though, for a couple of reasons: one it was online, it was in the middle of the summer, and then the course was stretched over an 8-week course. I came in here just trying to get my credit for my major, but I’ve taken into liking of some of the authors we’ve covered and check out some of their works after this course. I would say or like to think, that I’ve become better and writing my essay, also become easier to write. I used to think that a 500-word essay was a challenge, but now I can knock those out in an hour.…

I must say it was really difficult knowing that we had those two big major tests in the same week. The amount of studying was ridiculous but in my head for a whole two months I was reminding myself that it will benefit me in the future that I need this to graduate. One part I didn 't have to worry was a portion of the MCA like the Algebra part. But the part that was extremely hard for me was geometry.…
