Bluefield State College

the biggest difference between high school and college was that there was no one there to supervise what you did in your spare time. I realized that I needed to change the way I managed my time in order to maintain good grades and balance the work in all of my classes. Throughout my four years of high school I didn’t appreciate the daily schedule that had already been planned out for me, but I found myself missing this in my first few weeks in college. My high school was structured in a way…

While I was attending Community college at Cosumnes River College I encountered a dilemma. My father had been injured while on the job and could no longer provide for our family. My family’s income had basically been cut in half, while I was still in college. Now I had been paying for my own expenses in terms of college, transportation, and other expenses with a part-time job and helping out my parents with the occasional bills, but with my father’s income out of the loop I would have to do…

Have Diploma, Will Dance: Why College? The highs and lows of my last year in high school had a lot of reasons why I ended up picking college. The ride was incredibly painful, while I may have acted like I enjoyed every part of it; I can honestly admit I did not. Being told that you are good enough to be a part of a company, but that you are simply too young, can hurt an extreme amount. Then, upon returning home from the audition , you let your dance teacher (a person you should be able to trust)…

“What’s that ugly thing you 're wearing on your head? Are you bald?” Today was the first day back from winter break in the fifth grade I stood in line waiting for class to begin. I was nervous and excited because I decided to wear the hijab for the first time to school. That morning before school started I must have changed my outfit about a dozen times everything needed to look perfect. I wore a fuchsia colored blouse with flowers long black skirt and ballerina slippers I was dressed to impress…

education. In community college, when I first began, the “Student fear factor” definitely applied to me because I did not know what college was even about. I was so used to just being in high school where most people did not care if you made it to college, and my family was so busy with work and trying to keep up with rent and bills, that they had no time…

The Evolution of the “Cool” Kid In Elementary School, there was this one popular kid who was “cool” because he didn’t like to work and harassed people. He never put in much effort or excelled at anything in school, other than gym class. For the sake of confidentiality, let’s call this guy John Doe. John spent his elementary days goofing off and doing anything except for his school work. I remember the days of recess being some of the most fun I’ve had at school. All of the days outside seemed…

Why did I choose Idaho State Univeristy? My academic journey at Idaho State University has consisted of great vicissitudes mentally and emotionally. The time I have spent at ISU has allowed me to develop as a professional, grow as an individual and discover my talents as an academic. So the answer to the question, ‘why did I choose Idaho State University?’ is a simple one, but comes with a lengthy and vigorous journey. I fell in love with ISU and everything it has to offer on a professional and…

Throughout my adolescence, it was not easy finding a place to belong. I remember my first day in middle school, I had no idea how others will perceive me, how others will treat me, and how others will approach me. In the first few days in middle school, I was all alone. My friends either went to different schools, or they had different classes, so I had a choice between making new friends or secluding myself. I know that I will be a “loner” for the first few days or weeks of school, and I know…

to college? Many teens after they have completed secondary school are confused whether to pursue a career or not to but in reality they need to find out who they are and what they want to be before making the terrible mistake of wasting their money in something they are unsure of pursuing. Many people think that behind a college education it makes you a better person and one has better chances of succeeding in life but Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and many more millionaires did not have a college…
