My journey to victory is getting into a four year college. The type of college I would want to get into being, a college that is easy to get around to, to explore different organizations, to be able to have a wide variety of food on campus and off campus and lastly to have a good quality of education. A second victory would be getting a degree from a four year university.
I have had many people who have been a great help in achieving my victory. Each semester that I had at Schoolcraft College I would meet with Chris Richardson to evaluate where I’m at in my career path and to discuss classes to take for the next semester. One semester which happened to be the summer semester of my second year, He said that I was his success story. Basically saying, I have succeeded in the difficult classes that most people cannot accomplish and I achieved those goals. Another great person who helped me succeed is Mark Valchine, I was taking a construction class at William D. Ford School for two years. He told me about his experience about Ferris State, He said” at Ferris there is a whole building dedicated to the Construction Management program, and they have an open ceiling( you could see all the electrical, duct work, piping, etc.).” That made me want to go on tour Ferris State later on. The last person who made me be able to succeed in college was my Dad. My dad graduated from Emu and got his second bachelors in college of techoledgy. He would share his experience at emu and would say to me” Now for every hour of class your supposed to put in three hours of study to retain and learn the material you learned in class’. My dad would help me create a study habit that fits into my schedule since I am working part time at Menards. Looking at classes to take at a university, one should look at the transfer guides at that particular university. First I looked at what classes I can take at Schoolcraft that will transfer to Ferris State. Secondly I then looked at all of the general education requirements in the Construction Management program at Ferris. Thirdly made a list of all the classes I can take at Schoolcraft. I also did the same exact thing for the transfer guides at Emu construction program. Then made the conclusion that Ferris State has a higher requirement of general education classes than emu had. So I then focused more on Ferris State’s requirements and started plucking away at the list of classes to take at Schoolcraft College. Four year universities require weedier classes that are difficult for most students. It clearly establishes who can pass and who can’t. I did have one bad experience taking a weedier class, it was at Washtenaw Community college and I was taking general physics. What ended up happening was the professor I register for decided to drop a week before the semester starts and they ended picking up another professor from Wayne University. Based on looking at all of the other physics professors from Washtenaw, on rate my professor, he was rated at 1.1 out of 5.0. It was the worst winter semester I had out of my two years at a community college. Consequently I will have to take that Physics class again. The last weedier class I thought was difficult was business calculus. I ended up not passing it the first time, my test grades weren’t sufficient to get a 2.0 grade. Then the second time I took the class, I ended up …show more content…
So it was that time that I started filling out applications for Emu and FSU. So I filled out both applications along with my transcripts. While I waited to hear back from both places, I decided to go tour both universities. So I went to Ferris State University and got on a campus tour. What was nice about the campus tour was that I was able to speak with someone from the construction management program. Next I decided to go tour Emu, this time I didn’t go on a campus tour I decided to walk the campus and get a feel of it. What was really cool was that the student center looks over a lake with a bridge on it. A week later I got two letters, I was accepted in both Emu and
