Reflective Essay Of Preparing My Transfer To King University

Improved Essays
During the course of this class I have learned a lot about the college life and how different it is to high-school. In college everything is more fast-paced and the teacher require the student to be more responsible. When I complete two years at Mayland I plan to transfer to King University in Bristol, Tennessee to get my masters in business administration. I like this college because it reminds me a lot of Mountain Heritage in that the class sizes are not too large, and the overall campus size is small. This college is my main choice for transfer, however, I have looked at UNCA as a possible transfer option. I do not like UNCA as much as I do King University, because UNCA does not offer the specific major and concentration that I want to …show more content…
I chose this name, because failure is not an option and success is the only thing that I hope to gain from this process. My goal is to accomplish my mission statement which is, succeed in life, and do everything that I want to do before I die. To accomplish this goal, I am trying my best to keep my grades up while also working 40 hours a week so that I can keep my car but also have a good chance of getting accepted to college. One way I can increase my chances of getting into college is to follow the quick tips for academic success. During this semester, I feel like I have done the following: I have went to class, I have been prepared, and I have got to know my teachers. On the other hand, I feel like there are some that I have not done to the best of my ability. For example: I have not managed my time wisely, and I have not taken notes at a good level. It will be beneficial for me to manage my time, because if I put off things to the last minute they may not be as good of quality as they should be. As for the taking notes, notes help are designed to help a student study and if I am not studying then I am setting myself up to fail in college. Being successful in college can be stressful, but I have found that stress does not really bother me. I have managed to work and still maintain my grades, so I feel like I am prepared for the challenges of college

I attended Iowa for 2 years and then when it came time to choose where I would apply to nursing school at I was stuck between wanting to continue on at Iowa’s College of Nursing, pending on my acceptance, but also needing a change in my life.

    In the book, “Doing School,” by Denise Clark Pope, described how classmates want to succeed and have the best grades possible. This sometimes means having a lack of sleep, maintaining a good GPA, and motivate. Overall, to succeed in school you need three crucial qualities: focus, motivation, and to be able to study hard. I agree with majority of the book, which points out that students who focus in school are much more likely to succeed if going into the right direction. The author is telling us we should be more educated in school by working hard.…

    I became interested in Wake Forest University because it is known for its school of medicine and also because the architecture of the school gives off the feeling of history. Meaning that the way the school is in physical and reputation wise allows others to understand that Wake Forest University has a rich history behind it. But the architecture is not the only reason why I am applying the other reason as I said before is because of its famous school of medicine. I know that if I study there I would get all the required and accurate information I need in order to reach my career goal. It would also make my parents proud seeing me, one of the first people in our family to go to college, prosper and graduate from a school highly ranked for many…

Next, some lessons will be progressively harder than others, and with those, no amount of reading or studying will prepare you completely.

    Although core values develop and change over the course of life, the will to help others has been a constant for me. I can’t imagine there being a time that helping others will not be important to me. I find great joy in helping others, and chose my initial college major based on experiences that my mom had while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She was passionate when she spoke of the care and concern demonstrated by the radiation therapists during her treatments. It was after her treatments that I decided that radiation therapy would be a great profession for me.…

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…

    A past Life situation where I negatively sought action would be my transition to Salisbury University. Since the moment I found out I would not be going to any of my top college choices, I can remember a difference in my outlook and perception of the rest of my time until the move. As mentioned previously, I was dreading going away to college because of the proximity to home, the “high school” feel the campus, the greek life, the size of the school and many other factors. I imagined going to a large, out of state, public University in Florida, where I could escape the small town feel and see all new faces. Instead I was going to a medium sized, Maryland school, in a neighboring town with many classmates from high school, that both of my parents…
