Graduate

cleans them, and he looks like he enjoys his job and makes that easy cash. The reason why I choose the University Of Washington is because it’s a college in my city so I get the price advantage also the University of washington also is one of the best graduate colleges to go if you want to become a dentist. In addition go DAWGS!, a lot of my family attends the University of Washington and I want to join them. The average salary for a dentist is $88,400, I found this by research this number is…

I know the end is near. When I cross the stage there will be tears of joy. All the hard work late night studying, and emptiness will all disappear in that moment. I will no longer want a college degree; instead I will be a college graduate. To say college graduate would be awesome. No dream should stop because of fear. Regardless, if a dream seems unreachable. No matter the age anything possible but first dream from within. Against all odds Durentha Hines reached her dream in made it a…

When it comes to describing who I am, it is quite simple. I am the second oldest in my family. I am also a first-generation college graduate. I am an exceedingly ambitious person who always has plans for the future and know how I want to achieve those plans, but just do not have a way to do it. I had plans of a fashion magazine based in my hometown of Charlotte and even had people on board to support with layout, graphics and photography; nonetheless, I lacked the money and time to begin. I also…

What’s next? If you would’ve asked me a month ago what I wanted to be, I would have said to work for Social Services as a Social Worker. Since Fall 2015 started, I got a Social Work class. Since the first week of school, the professor had said that we were going to have to do volunteer work in the Social Work area. My first choice was to go volunteer at Social Services as a Social Worker; didn’t have luck. As the days went by, the first page of my volunteer packet was due, and I still didn’t…

It was a cold, brisk winter day in February. I was on my second visit to West Virginia University to determine if this was the school that I belonged to. However, this time was different than my last visit. I would be meeting with the Faculty Advisor for my major, Human Nutrition and Foods. This would be my make or break moment to whether or not I would be attending the school. When I met with my advisor Professor Adam Burda, I knew there was an immediate connection. While we were conversing,…

College Pressures In “College Pressures”, William Zinsser talks about the college pressures that most college students face. At the time, William Zinsser was the Master of Branford College at Yale University. He says that he sees four kinds of pressure that most college students go through such as economic, parental, peer and self-induced pressure. As I read his essay, I analyzed the effectiveness of Zinsser’s observation about what pressures most college students face. Most students face…

I always knew there would be a point in time where I would have to choose a career and I've always had an interest in being something medical so I decided I would research about how to become an anesthesiologist. The reason I choose this topic is actually kind of a dumb reason. I've always was interested in a medical job but what really got me thinking of having a medical job was because of the show Grey's Anatomy. It is a show about surgeons/doctors in a hospital. I always knew I probably…

Firsthand, I know the feeling of helplessness during hardship; from living paycheck to paycheck in a single parent home, witnessing my grandfather become ill, and being physically assaulted by my father as a child. In each experience, I had neither control over the circumstances affecting my life, nor a confidant, which created the feeling of isolation. Although I have always been self-motivated and remained positive to endure hard times, it was not until I enrolled at Spelman College that I…

Purpose I am a senior at Wichita State University studying Biomedical Engineering. I expect to graduate in May of 2018 with magna cum laude distinction. As an undergraduate, I have the opportunity to tutor underclassmen in physics. Eventually, I became an undergraduate teaching assistant as well. Both of these made me realize how much I enjoy helping students learn, which made me think about pursuing graduate education to become a college professor. Assisting in a biomechanics lab made it clear…

while meeting new people; however, I haven’t let anyone know that at the beginning, I didn’t necessarily feel as much at home as I had at the beginning. After classes started, I really wasn’t sure if I fit in or if I was prepared enough to be in graduate school. I pushed through my first two weeks of school in a confused daze. In that time, I forgot to do discussion questions, printed off a hard-copy of an assignment instead of submitting it to d2l, and gotten an 8/10 on a quiz. I knew I was…
