Personal Narrative: My Time At Bethel University

Decent Essays
My time at Bethel University has been exceptional. Narrowing down to one thing I like is almost impossible. Actually, I like the flexibility I get from attending Bethel University. Getting my degree feels like it has taken me forever, but I have met tremendously great people along the way. Being able to work full-time and attend school full-time is an outstanding benefit that Bethel offers its students. Moreover, the facilitators have been great in assisting me along the way. One thing that I dislike is in my four years I have been swapped several times to different advisors. It would be nice to get one advisor at the beginning of school and have the same advisor throughout our journey. Being bounced between advisors I feel I have to start

    My primary thoughts towards Gordon College were created during a prospective student day. It turned out to be a negative experience that created a pessimistic view of this school and carried on my cynical view of Christians. It’s important because had I continued with my previous bias I would have attended a secular college which may have been a positive experience but would have definitely lead to a drastically different life.…

    When I interviewed with Mount Holyoke College, the Associate Director of the Frances Perkins Scholar program, Nichole Reynolds, shared with me, “Attending this school can be a transformative experience if you allow it to be.” The words that she spoke were the guiding force behind the ways in which I approached my junior year. The 2016-2017 school year has been the most transformative year of my academic life thus far. Indeed, I stepped out of my cocoon and forced myself to stretch; no matter how uncomfortable or the amount of fear that I felt, I pushed towards new experiences that helped to construct the person I was becoming.

    On a sweltering summer day in the City of Atlanta or the “ATL” as it is affectionately known today, I visited my best friend while he visited his father for the summer. That day I remember vividly because as soon as we stepped outside of the airport to take the “MARTA” train, I began to sweat profusely. Anyone that has been to Atlanta during the summer knows it is incredibly humid there. A week earlier I had seen my friend, and we planned out what we were going to do that week I visited. I knew I wanted to visit Spellman College, Morehouse College, Clark Atlanta University, and Morris Brown College, but before I could visit the Atlanta University Center or the “AUC” as it is called to the locals, I felt compelled to visit the grave site of one of the most influential human being to walk this earth.…
