Council of Independent Colleges

I learned on my tour that BUA is discussion based and hands on, which is the way I like to learn. There also is a wide variety of courses and electives that are available to each student, including college courses that are integrated into their schedules. The many programs that were offered provided endless opportunities for a high school experience which was very appealing. It also a place where students with many interests can thrive, as one has many…

changed my life by leaving everything behind and coming to a strange new place trying to adapt the new culture, language, and life. I came in 7th grade with my mom, dad, and younger brother leaving all my friends and family behind. I am now more independent, determined to reach my goals, and persistent. At first, it was very difficult, especially that I came with very little English and I was very quiet. It was very hard to get good grades when you do not know what is happening in class and the…

It is often said that laughter is the “best form of medicine.” While it may be a stretch to say that it is the absolute best medicine, laughter is certainly known to have some health benefits. Studies have found that laughter causes “physiological, psychological, social, spiritual, and quality-of-life benefits” with no adverse effects, and there are not many medications that can do that (Mora-Ripoll, 2010). We chose to design a health promotion campaign that aims to improve the mental health of…

future. By me going to college, for one, is not only helping out my future but I am also setting an example for my younger relatives because I am the first generation to go to college, and by them seeing me in college can inspire them to follow their dreams. I do value income. I work really hard and do my best to get the good grades so I can have a great job so I can have the future where my family and I do not have to worry about money and I do want to become financially independent. The test…

understand the learning material. I spend my time doing with various clubs and activities that are diverse. The list of activities I am currently involved in are FFA, Junior Leaders through 4-H, 4-H, yearly musical/drama, Advanced Chorus, Student Council, German Club, S.A.D.D., intramural basketball, softball, and golf. When I first arrived I was very overwhelmed with all the information, but quickly became accustomed. I was also worried that the peers I would become friends with eventually…

Greek Or Roman Colonialism This paper will explain the Greek Colonialism and the Roman Colonialism. The Greek and Roman are the most well known in history for their architecture and their stories. Ever since I was a kid I always loved reading about the myths and their stories that changed history. Greek Mythology is an original text like the Christian Bible and others that introduce all of the myths’ characters and stories. The earliest Greek myths was a big part of the oral tradition that…

In the late1990's the United States was merely a remote location on my bucket list. I never thought I would someday live here. During my adolescent years in Germany I always dreamed of getting a college education, although no one in my family had done so. Looking back, I wish I would have had more guidance as how to continue after high school. Initially I wanted to apply at an art school, but the student career counselor had told me the application deadline for admission had already expired. An…

The National PanHellenic Council posted their statistics from 2011 which stated, “Of 427 College PanHellenic associations that reported contributions, the college- based governing groups raised $2,855,095 and volunteered 639,021 hours for philanthropic efforts and 908,905 for community service projects” (Frequently). Being involved in a sorority is so much more than most people seem to believe. Charity work is an enormous component that the outside eye tends to gloss over. Many universities…

things that make me question myself and my faith. I 'm in college now and for me this means everything changes, I need to take life more seriously, education more seriously and my faith more seriously. Everyday at Eastern to me is an opportunity to do these things. I know it sounds so typical for me to say that I grow in my faith here at Eastern, but in all honesty I do. I have to have strong faith that I 'm going to be able to pay for college, I do not have a job so that a lot of faith. Faith…
