The Trio

I’ve never lived with any guy besides my dad and that didn’t count! These boys seem like spawns of Satan! To any outsider Carson sounded to be the trouble of it all, the eldest of the trio. “How have you lived with all those boys?” I asked curiously which made her laugh “I grew up with a large family of boys, I had nine older brothers.” She grins and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. “Nine brothers!?” I shrieked “And you live with twelve more?!” She laughed again “They’re not that bad.” She says “But for you it might be terrible. I mean you are an only child.” She chuckles. That’s the very moment I realized this next year would probably be hell for me. I’m glad that I could have a pleasant conversation with Emily, a female I could take refuge with. Our conversations weren’t hard, I felt like I’ve known her for my entire life. My mother had told me I’d meet the Kingston’s when I was really young, Will was six and the trio and I were four. I don’t really remember much of my childhood so I don’t really dwell on it. “Sorry Emily, I don’t really remember much of anything past the age of six.” I shrug she didn't say anything just gave me a small smile whilst she…

I can confidently say that TRiO has greatly improved my college life academically, socially, and mentally. Without this program, I would not be as prepared and focused as I am for college today. Signing contracts ensuring I meet my goals has been one of the driving factors behind my success. The contracts were a constant reminder of my responsibilities in college. Not only should I be focus in my coursework, but I should reach out and participate in other areas of the college. For my first…

ARS Trio is a darkly twisted experimental Portuguese project composed of Renato Diz on piano, Sergio Tavares on double bass, and Jorge Queijo on drums and percussion. Despite the plans regarding this project had started in 2009, only recently the band members have reunited in Portugal to record their debut album, Poetics of Sight, strongly influenced by film and released on the W&J Productions, a new record label from New York. Using imaginative techniques and resorting to unconventional sounds,…

Throughout the Adagio movement of Brahms’ Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major, we are presented with several different juxtaposing textures, each offering a new perspective with its experience. The dialectic forces of this movement could also be found within layers of Image A. The antiphony at the onset and again in later references can be heard as soft (in a texture sense), open, and even vague in its harmonic and rhythmic structure. The instructed una corda gives an airy and empty quality to the…

I had the privilege of interviewing Linda Evans, M.P.A., who serves as the coordinator of Student Support Services (SSS) TRIO Program on the Yavapai College, Verde Valley Campus. SSS TRIO is a federally-funded program through the U.S. Department of Education by means of a competitive grant process. This program is designed to identify and support students who qualify by meeting two of the three requirements of the program. Qualifying conditions are they receive a Federal Pell Grant, have a…

TRIO Scholarship Application 1. Education is so important to me. I’ve worked at pretty average jobs since I dropped out of college over ten years ago. My life has changed completely since then, but I had begun to wonder if I would ever be able to return to school to finish my degree. I worried that it had been too long and I would no longer be capable of handling the rigorous workload. I have proved my fears wrong! I am doing better today than I ever have before, and I enjoy all of my classes.…

After waiting for six minutes, my advisor, Nate, walked into the classroom. I was in room 28, Peik Hall. It was my first official day of college and my spirits were high, wanting to learn. After introductions, he asked the class a question that I had been very curious about ever since orientation, “Do you all know why you are in TRIO?” I wasn’t only curious as to why I was in TRIO, I was also curious as to why I was put into the College of Education and Human Development when I specifically…

I am writing to apply for the TRIO Upward Bound position. I am a product of TRIO programs as I was a member of Talent Search, Upward Bound, and Student Support Services. I also worked with the Upward Bound program as a staff member. The Upward Bound program was created to provide services for students with unfavorable backgrounds. My experience as a high school teacher, mostly serving students from disadvantaged backgrounds, has provided me with the necessary skills to provide expert services…

On Sunday October 11, 2015, I attended the Regina Musical Club’s, Trio concertante at the University of Regina. The concert was performed by 3 musicians, Nancy Dahn who played the violin, Simon Fryer who played the cello, and Tim Steeves who played the piano. The concert was made up of three pieces. The first one was Beethoven’s Piano trio in G major Op.1 No.2 which was published in 1795. The second was Fryderyk’s Chopin’s, Chopin in G minor Op.8 which was written and published in 1829. And…

It would be the greatest honor to be a TRIO SSS transfer mentor for Wenatchee Valley College students. I am interested in being a transfer mentor because as a first-generation college student I understand that being a first-generation student of color comes with barriers, but also gives me a unique and valuable perspective with which to bring to higher education. My parents only have an elementary education and have no understanding of the U.S educational system and as the middle child of five…
