Grace College

The one, single most, driving factor that will lead to my college success is single parenting. The struggles of motherhood at a young age have been the most influential piece that has fueled and will continue to fuel my academic progress. Pregnant at 18, I found myself with an enormous undertaking. Caring and providing for a child (when a child myself) was at times overwhelming. I felt uncertain of my future. With no formal education, poverty had one foot in my door, sure to make his way fully…

On April 11, we had two guest speakers: Kat Jackson and Kathleen Grace Avila; Ms. Jackson spoke on the topic of organization skills and time management. During her speech, Ms. Jackson noted that she came from England and found her true calling in learning organizational skills. She then realized her abilities to achieve both her long-term and short-term goals. Since she has found her calling, she has assisted countless others in prioritizing their time and obtaining their goals. Ms.…

in itself, but to be in Dr. Anderson's class was a privilege. For she was the most sought out History Professor in Hudson Community College, and for this, she played no favoritism. In order to be in her class, one had to register and as soon as registration begin, to ensure a seat. I was lucky to be one of the ones who made it and I felt extremely lucky to grace her presence. On the first day of class, Dr. Anderson wore her famous HCCC Honors hoodie, sneakers and her hair was pulled back in…

I have three weeks left of my freshman year, and so far this year has been quite the journey. Although, the journey has kind of sucked if I’m being honest. High school has been alright, but middle school was way better. I miss the nice teachers, the roll schedule, and much more. The classes have been easy this year, but I would prefer a challenge rather than just easy work to keep us busy. I honestly haven’t learned very much this year. I never really dreaded going to school until this year, and…

Almost every college student can relate to that scenario, going to classes and working one or two jobs just to make ends meet while in college. Then she went on to talk about how she had no ambition and felt lost and didn’t know what she wanted to do. What college student hasn’t felt that way before? How many times have college students changed their majors because they weren’t sure if that was what they wanted to do for the rest of their life? Besides, it’s not just college students that…

I was very encouraged and impacted by this idea, that particular week and the week before I had been feeling quite discouraged, I wasn’t feeling at home in Wheaton, I was feeling overwhelmed by the large workload and the (small) amount of sleep college life was providing. I did not know if I should continue with music or even at Wheaton, I was wondering if I should have stayed at my previous school, in my “comfort zone,” and just a couple weeks into the semester I was already contemplating…

After attending this conference, 25% more of the students elected to major in computer science despite not wanting to beforehand (Alvarado and Judson 70-71). Conferences like the Grace…
