This class was actually one of my favorites and I think that you are a great professor Ms. Wiley. I really liked how…

wasn’t. Leaving high school and transitioning to college was a rough experience. I went from having to ask permission to go to the restroom in high school compared to deciding what day and time I wanted to attend class for college.

I qualified for work-study and got a job on campus in order to pay for…

The reform would encourage a justice system that works in the best interest of the juvenile offender (“Detroit…

When I got assigned a kindergarten classroom for my first field experience at Hope College I was ecstatic! I babysit a couple of kids that are kindergarteners so I thought I knew just what to expect. But as I walked into the newly build Rose Park Elementary school on Thursday at 8:00 in the morning nerves started to build. I told the secretary that I was a freshman at Hope and was here for my field experience with Mrs. Vogelzang. She kindly brought me to her classroom but when we arrived she…

I am interested in becoming a health care professional because bettering the lives of others is such a rewarding way to live your life. I also have a love for anatomy and physiology which I discovered my senior year in high school in my Health Occupations class.
