One of the most important decisions of my life was when I decided to go back to school. I had to take in consideration…
I only wanted to go to Michigan State and when I applied I ended up only getting in for the spring; that is when my decision got difficult. At first, I was extremely upset; I didn’t into the only school I wanted to go to…

I had to answer myself a question if I was going to go through the plan of attending Sacramento State University. I was scared, If I didn't go were my parents going to be disappointed, If i did go was I going to lose my bestfriend , If I didn't go who was going to walk out my life, If I didn't go was I a failure, If i didn't go would it be the best for me, so many if questions. That crucial night that I decided Sacramento State wasn't my way, made me feel lost. How was I going to reverse all the plans we had made to move out there. We were all settled to leave that summer. Everything was ready, I realized that the next morning. Was I really able to break it all and tell everyone. I did it and it was the hardest thing ever, some people walked out my life and others stayed. My parents were so supportive, I think they knew deep inside it's what I wanted. My close teachers also gave me all their support and told me I had greatness in me and It would manifest itself anywhere I went. My best friend also supported me.All this meant so much to me and made things a little less…
Most students grow up with the same friends and same house all the way until high school graduation. Growing up in a family that moves quite a bit, these friendships and houses often change. I have moved numerous times and have attended a number of schools throughout my life, but my recent move has affected me the most. Originally living in Texas from the time I was six months old, I moved to Peoria, Arizona, when I was nine years old. However, just before my sophomore year in high school, my family and I moved back to Texas from Arizona. This move was a major turning point in my life because I had to adapt to a new area and school where I had to make all new friends.…

The day has come. You must decide. You are sitting there at the table with a letter in front of you. Your leg is bouncing up and down from excitement. Adrenaline is rushing through your body making you uneasy and anxious. The questions rise to your brain: do I commit or not and is this the college for me?…
The memory of my first big move is still fresh in my mind. I remember rushing to school, excited to tell my friends the news: I was moving from New Jersey to Phoenix, Arizona! After I brought my friends up to date, I proudly displayed my new disposable camera. Together we took many pictures, some of them meaningful and some comical. There were pictures of myself smiling and giggling with my friends and some of my teacher’s feet. As the moving date was slowly approaching, I began to feel resentment. I started hating the idea of moving to a new unknown place where I would have no friends. As it turned out, making new friends was not as hard as I thought because I was younger and I chose my friends superficially. However, I did have to learn to adapt to a new school and curriculum. I was not…
The reality of my college experience is just the way I felt it would be, tons of work, tons of traveling and working to the division, can be overwhelming, Being in college gives me a since of independence and future entitlement in my career. I worked hard to get where I am and strived hard enough to be here. I take school seriously, I can play later, I get days off, that’s my spare time, I give in all my work, quality work, on time, all the time. Everything in college I’ve experienced I expected. In my high school years, my classmates and I went on a few tours to big campus colleges, Mercy college campus was my favorite and first choice, until I saw the tuition fee/long term dept. I don’t ever feel unprepared for certain situations. I adapt…
During my senior year of high school, I was undecided about what I wanted to do, I applied to many colleges but didn’t know which one was for me. I couldn’t figure out at the time if I wanted to stay local, or go away for college. After a while, I decided to go the first year to a local commuter college called Penn State Brandywine. I figured I could keep my job, still be close to family, and still see friends. However, over the period of my freshman year, it wasn’t what I was expecting and now I want a new and different experience. I initially was going here as an undecided major, however after looking at my interests I decided I wanted to pursue a degree in international studies, and my current college does not have that. That is one of the…
Deciding on which college to attend is half the problem during the 21st century. Many people are bound by family ties to go to colleges that their whole family has attended. This can stress out the student because the college in which…
I eventually accepted it but I miss my friends. After moving two schools I lost many friends. I realized I only had a few real friends that’d stick with me even if I lived twenty-five miles or even one hundred and seventy-seven. Moving is not a change I’d take for granted because I wouldn’t have met many of the amazing people that…
I chose Breckinridge School of Nursing for multiple reasons, one being I got in. I have seen so many people wait for years to get into a Nursing program and was afraid that I would never get in. Especially with me taking so long to finish my prerequisite to even apply for a Nursing Program. However a girl that I worked with had told me about this Nursing Program and how all you have to do is take a test and the top scores get into the program. First thought that came to my mind was this is too good to be true. The second thought was finally my life is going to start. So of course I jumped at the opportunity and went and took the test. I unfortunately didn’t get in the first term after wards but then the exciting news came; I was going to start Nursing. So here I am at Breckinridge School of Nursing finally getting that much closer to the goals I set for my life.…
And the difficult decision for me was when my father let me decide between studding here in Saudi Arabia Specifically in KFU or in The United States of America. That was a hard decision for me because this decision will determine my future. That decision made me think for three months, and that is very long time to decide.…
So now I will be graduating this semester, and the time has come to decide what I want the next step will be. This past summer I battled with the decision to go look for a job or to continue my education with graduate school. I have to say it wasn’t easy. Ultimately, I decided that I wanted to stay in school to get a Master’s degree, and I made this decision for a couple of reasons. For one, I was involved with undergraduate research over the summer, and it was something that I really enjoyed. I felt that I wanted to continue doing research after I graduated from Penn State. Furthermore, graduate school programs for engineering often grant assistantships to the students that they accept. This assistantship pays for tuition and also gives the student a stipend each semester. That was a huge plus! With these things in mind, I knew I was set on graduate school and I just had to figure out where I wanted to go. Already being heavily involved with the Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering Department at Penn State, that was a pretty easy decision. I know most of the professors in the department, and I have a pretty good relationship with the professors I do research for. I would very much like to continue working with them.…
