the idea of helping Ms. Dana run a group for the older kids on campus. I’ve already expressed to her that I am interested in being able to teach and be apart of the kids support system in a small way. I would like the responsiblity of being able to help run a group for the kids that is based on teaching them life skills and being a listening ear for them and much more. I was thinking it can be once a week or maybe every other week. I really want to be involved in our community. This idea would…

Help From Others Most people would agree that the people around you have a great influence on your life. Luckily, I am blessed to have the best people by my side every day. Through my friends, family, coworkers, and peers, I am able to be the person I am today. Many interesting things have happened in my life, both positive and negative, and people are always there to help me. Having a good support system really helps me when experiencing the tough and fun parts of life. I love to be surrounded…

we had to do the in-class editing, that actually helped me proofreading my essays. Also, the grammar tools and the techniques that you went over this semester. Since I struggle with grammar, the handouts that you gave us earlier this semester will help me for English 1A. I will continue working on my weaknesses throughout the months. Hopefully, they will become better the more I work on…

TRIO a federal program that offers services for individuals from disadvantage backgrounds. Federally funded programs like RAMP and SSS are important in order to help people from disadvantage backgrounds succeed and achieve their career goals. My participation in RAMP has influenced my overall college experience greatly. RAMP has helped me feel comfortable in my transition of high school in college with tutoring session, providing workshop, and an assigned counselor. Federal funding programs…

In my second year of high school, there was a time that I needed help. I felt lost and pretty much hopeless. In that, I made the choice to ask my history teacher for help. I am still boggled by the fact that I did, because it changed the course of my life forever. Before this encounter I felt like a ghost when it came to teachers; a person who slipped through the cracks of a system that was not built to protect nor serve people of color. Yet, as a person of color, I tried to do more with my life…

I was left to finish the rest of my chores. The the hands on the clock already positioned themselves at seven o’clock, giving me two hours to do the dishes and finish my homework before lights out. I was early! Lucy had been a big help today. Soon enough, the dishes were put back into the cabinet, and the laundry in their correct baskets. We headed back to my little room in the basement. The cramped room turned out to be a little tight with an added dog. Lucy made herself at home…

study. I was very excited, and impulsive. I asked my family and close friends for some advice. They said “you are going to take the best step in your life. It is never too late, you still can do it.” They motivated me a lot. I had saved some money to help me in the US until I would get a scholarship. “Am I going to regret this step in the future?” This was the easiest question from many other questions which were running in my mind. The decision was made. The bags were packed on. Nothing was…

take them out of their despair and that they don’t need to give up. I also want to relate this to students and to a school council. The school can influence them to do greatness and help them to achieve. The students shouldn’t make fun of them, but instead so true selfless friendship. They can overcome but they need the help of the teachers and as well as life long friendships. I love helping out people who are struggling with the isolation and the deficient of Asperger’s syndrome. Now In…

I still remembered the first day arrive in Fresno, United States on August 12th, 2012 after 20 hours flight all the war from China, feeling sore and ache all over. When I came out from the terminal, the bright sunlight made me squint, the fresh air made me feel relaxed, I told myself “It is a new start!” Some Chinese students picked me up in the airport and drove me to atrium to check in. I felt my lips adhered and I couldn 't get them apart. I was so nervous that I cannot talk to resident…

I already completed the first step in starting a new career, deciding the general path and getting started. Enrolling in a college, Check! Signing up for class, Check! And now what? It isn’t hard to know that finishing the degree is the next step, but then what? What will I do with that little piece of paper, besides hang it on my wall and forget to dust it? Thankfully, and hopefully, at the end of this I will have some idea. If not, I better start learning how to flip burgers. Being a…
