Beginning college is like being reborn into the world. You begin your first day with a blank slate, and a thousand fears to go with it. Last year, I started my new life at Saginaw Valley State University. As a fresh graduate of New Lothrop High School, I had no idea what to expect from the world past the cornfields that used to surround me everyday at school. With a deep breath, I gathered everything I learned from my time at New Lothrop and jumped into my new world. My past lessons of leadership

I started attending school at the local community college right out of high school. I was 18 and was unsure of what I wanted to do with school, and my life in general, as I find many 18 year olds struggle with. I took classes off and on, confused about what it was that I wanted to accomplish. After my first few semesters, my initial decision was to pursue a degree in nursing. The community college in Carson City, NV that I attended offered a great two-year nursing program that I thought would work
Joining the University of Arkansas “family” means finally achieving a personal dream of mine. I have a deep desire to be part of a diverse academic body where the individual students’ opinions are valued and the members are respected in their community. I believe your school exceeds these standards, and that my acceptance into the family would more than fulfil this dream of mine.

Early on in the college research process, I realized I was doing it all wrong. The determinants of the next four years of my life were not to be based solely on the prestige and ranking of the university. Rather, my choice would have to serve as a representation of myself and provide me with the environment I needed to succeed. It would be one that would cater to my method of learning and offer the resources needed to confront the real world upon graduation. Baylor would do this for me. With so many
Through my transition from my last semester of high school; being scared but genuinely excited to start shaping who I really am in the academic and social world of my college life. With the end of my first semester in college in sight, it amazes me to genuinely reflect on my thoughts from the start of the term until now and evaluate the state and changes of my metal commons in such a short amount of time. In my first semester I never thought I would truly learn as much as I have, not only in an academic
