Junior college

I was born in raised in Texas my entire life. When I decided to attend college I wanted to do something out of my comfort zone and experience something new. A first step toward that was choosing a school where I did not know one person, in a state I have never been to, and that was ten hours away, which was Mississippi State University. I went to Mississippi State University the first two years of college. After my sophomore year I started looking more into what I enjoy and want to pursue in a…

In life there are many obstacles in which a person faces that help mold them into whom they become. Entering my junior wrestling season there were many expectations set for me. My coaches had prepared me and now it was time to showcase what I could do. After the regular season, I finished with a record of 24-8 fighting through a constant rib injury which occurred earlier in the season. With the start of the post season it was now time for the District 17 Tournament. The tournament brackets were…

As I approached the end of my junior year, I wanted to make a positive change through some club. I felt that a significant accomplishment would allow me to go to college knowing that I am capable of making constructive, worthwhile improvements. Focusing on my school’s chapter of Mu Alpha Theta, a math honor society, I aimed to assume the role of president. As election results came back, our advisor, Mrs. Gillette, revealed that another student gained more votes than I did. As I walked sadly out…

the material. One of my least favorite traits is that I can get impatient. My aunt is in her late thirties, and decided to go back to school to increase her availability to work. Her toughest class is college Algebra, and she is constantly asking for my help. The summer of 2014 and during my Junior year of high school, I was tutoring my aunt in her math classes. I was taking Calculus A at the time, so the algebra came fairly easy to me. I would explain the information and formulas to my aunt…

fast food restaurant. Earning money for a college and a car was a priority for me. I had a goal of having enough money to buy a car by the end of the year. My grades were pretty much A’s and B’s. I was balancing school and work just fine. I was getting enough time to do my homework and I was getting enough sleep. The job was easy, taking customer's orders and cleaning up. The hardest part of the job was closing up when everything had to be cleaned. Once junior year came along I started having…

How I changed since Freshman year Freshman year is the year of adaptation. It is more of ‘fight or flight’ situation. Basically, if you get through freshman year, you’ll survive the rest of the high school years. And because adaptation takes time, you are very prone to make many, many mistakes. I entered Trimble Tech High School with a very immature mentality. My major was ‘Education in Training’, which was not the reason I had applied to Tech, but I never did anything to change otherwise.I…

thoughts of how the college experience and expectations of those attending college have changed over the decades around the university he teaches and around the world. While these changes that Edmundson observes were probably somewhat of a shock during the seventies, these changes are needed to make the college more competitive in todays fast-past society. We live in a generation where making life easier is considered better. Edmundson argues that colleges…
