It was the first day of college and I just finished my first class in Violet Hall. I was feeling pretty confident and excited for the semester. After my computer science class let out, I turned left after exiting the thirteen hundreds quarter of the first floor and took the first exit I saw, thinking about my next class which was in Barnett Hall. The day before I walked to all of my classes, especially to my psychology class in Barnett, to make sure I knew my way so I would not get lost or be…

perfect behavior but I believe I display good behavior almost always. The only category I circled proficient for instead of exemplary is the “Level of Engagement in Class” category and I will get into detail about why I feel that way later in my essay. The first two categories I want to discuss are the “Level of Engagement in Class” and “Listening Skills” categories. I feel that I display exemplary behavior in the listening category because it is a rare event for me to have side conversations…

I withdrew from the University of Connecticut due to medical reasons. When I withdrew, I did not know what was causing my symptoms. The symptoms were, however, severely interfering with my ability to well in classes. I decided to withdraw from UCONN and focus my energies on addressing my health. Though I was extremely disappointed that my declining health forced me to leave UCONN, I knew I would not be able to do as well as I could, academically. Over the course of the following years, my…

It was the first day of 8th grade at Nagel Middle School, I was alone and friendless on team 8-1, most of my friends from last year were on different teams. So during lunch I ended up sitting with Jenna Walsh a girl I knew from book club last year, her twin Alex and another girl I had gym with the previous year, Samantha Beinke. Although it was quite sunny outside, the temperature in the cafeteria felt like it was below freezing point. I turned towards Jenna about to voice my opinion on how the…

Dear Amma, How’s everyone doing? I’m having a lot of fun at school. My hardest class right now is probably my organic chemistry class. You remember the organic chemistry class that I took in high school? It’s a little like that, but definitely harder and more focused on real-world applications. The course actually includes a weekly three-hour lab with its own one-hour lecture. I think it’s a pretty great course because we learn techniques that are used in actual labs. Last week’s experiment…

It has been a little over two months since I began my out of the classroom experience in the Shustova Chemistry lab. With many extractions, separations, Schlenk line setups, and NMR spectroscopies, I am feeling much more confortable preforming higher-level chemistry techniques all while upholding national safety standards. This sense of comfortableness did not come quickly. This is where the most challenging aspect of the Capstone Project comes into play. The challenge that I face when I go into…

Apart from the fact that, Johnson is an excellent, top notch business school with a long history of impact the truth is that there is a silly reason that led me to apply to this school. Let me expand on the silly reason first, why I am applying to Johnson. The Office, one of my all-time favorite TV show and the character Andy Bernard, who went to Cornell. It is hard to explain, but I will give it a try. The character Andy Bernard is portrayed in the show as someone who does not get the social…

I never paid any attention to the past until I was forced to look at it through a microscopic lens in my tenth grade history class, and what I found was terrifying. During the Second World War, the Canadian military decided to build a training camp on land that was occupied by the Stoney Point First Nations tribe in Ipperwash Provincial Park. In 1900 the Canadian government previously wished to survey the land. The tribe resisted as the fear that the land would…

This is shown when Paton first introduces Jarvis and Jarvis starts thinking “Something might have been done, if only these people had only learned to fight erosion,” (130) this proves that Jarvis definitely cares about the country, but never does anything to help the country. Likewise…

of this media, is shown through the producer showing how ridiculous that no one knew who Rodriguez was. On of the greatest artists never received the recognition he rightfully deserved, They show the point of view from both producers of Rodriguez first album and the producer of the second. The owner of the Sussex record company was Clarence Avant who released his albums. Avant refused to talk more about the money that went missing from South Africa. Bendjelloul showed this as he wanted people…
