Michigan State University

I was born and raised in Michigan. I grew up in an area known as Downriver, where I still reside today. My high school and the barn where I work/volunteer are both within 3 miles of my home, which is why moving to Michigan State University in East Lansing to join the other 50,000 undergraduate students was such a substantial change. I’ve always been adaptable and driven to succeed, so the adjustment to life in East Lansing was not a difficult one for me. Since I’ve been enrolled as a student at Michigan State University, I was granted the extraordinary opportunity to work at the Michigan State University Horse Teaching & Research Center while also being involved in both the Stock Seat Equestrian Team and the Horse Judging Team where I’ve been extremely successful. I am the current Lesson Captain of the equestrian team and plan to continue holding a board position for the rest of my time on the team. Not to be outdone, I was presented with a Reserve National Championship this year in Tulsa, Oklahoma while competing with the Judging Team at the U.S Arabian National Horse Show. I am a highly dedicated and passionate person who just happened to be lucky enough to find a niche in the horse world. Even when I’m not actively competing on these teams you can find me at the fundraisers and events that are put together…

Basketball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up around the sport with my Grandpa being a referee and playing little league ball through elementary school. In High-School being six foot six inches it was a given I would play basketball. I spent three years on the varsity basketball team with having the privilege of being a Captain my senior year. When I was accepted to Michigan State University it was hands down the easiest decision to come here. I am one of the…

is my pleasure to be able to have this opportunity to write this letter today. I will be the first person in my family to attend college and it will be an incredible experience to have my first year be at MSU. I am a senior currently attending my last year at East Kentwood High School, and it is my top priority to further my education. Going to Michigan State would be a dream come true for me. In my heart, I have been a Spartan since 8th grade. I have a cousin who is currently attending State…

Academic integrity in my opinion means, class work that is of your own thoughts not from another’s. Being true and honest with your work. According to Michigan State University Edu. Academic Integrity is defined as, “Academic Integrity is honest and responsible scholarship. As a student, you are expected to submit original work and give credit to other peoples' ideas.” By using your own thoughts, you are creating your own work. By doing so you are being honest while improving as a scholar. In…

In the world we live in now it is very easy to overlook the importance of community. It not only gives a sense of belonging, but also forms a support group for individuals that fall on hard times. Volunteering through the Michigan State University Student Literacy Corps, demonstrated to me the need for community support in a child’s education. This organization tutors k-5 children in reading and writing, free of charge. Entering in this program I was told that the capital area is among the…

A current stressor in my life is moving in to my own apartment with three of my friends. To me this is considered a stressor in my life because last school year I was living at home and going to a community college. While at home I had my laundry done for me, my dinners cooked for me, had my own home computer, had my bathroom and dishes cleaned for me, and did not have to pay for rent. Also my community college was very small, so all of my classes were right by each other. There was also free…

written down in such a way that it was easy to tell she paid attention to the tiniest of details. Elizabeth Kostova is important to American Literature because she keeps classic tales in her modern-day stories, only twisting minor details and leaving the root story in place, almost as if to teach somebody today the original story and make it more relatable and understandable. Elizabeth Kostova has had an interesting life. “Kostova was born in Connecticut but lived in various college towns and…

The production and processing of red meat is an unsustainable practice in nature. While Michigan State University has gone to considerable measures to ensure that the beef and lamb consumed in the dining halls is coming from responsible practices, it is not enough. To truly make an impact we need to…

background information of what being a pediatrician would require. I knew my passion, was to work with children and make a decent living. When I was fourteen, entering high school the coursework was tougher. Exiting high school, at the age of eighteen, and forced to decide what I wanted to do with the rest of my life was even more complicated. I was undecided on my career choice because I did not want to be in school for a long time. When I grew up some things I was prepared for and some things…
