During my most recent OSAP-funded study period, I was enrolled in my first year of Chemical Engineering at Ryerson University, adapting to a new environment and trying to transition from high school to post-secondary. My academic performance was impacted by some poor personal and academic decisions, including taking on a heavy course load that included a combination of five difficult courses all in the semester. While taking some difficult courses, I should have balanced out my academic schedule using courses that are relatively easier and more manageable to me. I realized that the set of courses that I was enrolled in, as well as the overall program, did not suit my interest as a student. Additionally, due to ineffective time management …show more content…
In order to optimize study time for each course, I will take on a more balanced and manageable academic schedule.

The program offered is a three-year academic program that will extensively enhance my theoretical and practical knowledge about finance and accountancy. Using this program, I plan to develop a skill set that will be useful in pursuing a finance related career. I realized my passion for the world of finance as it affects the world around us and through this program I can attain a career of which I am passionate about and it will give me the preparation required to go through numerous options post-graduation that I will be prepared to
The diversity at Hofstra is commendable as people from all walks of life contribute to the intricate community at Union, which invariably is a learning curve for the student as the student is exposed to a dynamic environment.

Some extenuating circumstances, including relevant dates, which prevented me from meeting credits under pace and/or the required cumulative GPA is because of three reasons. One of the three reason dropping out of my two classes and adding two new classes to my schedule so when I dropped two of my classes and added two different classes, I had a little struggled. Second, was when my grandma was rushed to the hospital and lastly, when my parents left to Thailand for an family emergency, both of these emergency made me put myself last because I had to take care of my family members. I really wasn’t prepared for any of these events. Some of these events made it impossible to concentrate on any school work or get any of my school work done.
In the Fall quarter of 2014 at pierce I was still being introduced to this style of learning and the school setting of Pierce College which was a pretty big turnaround for me seeing as my only previous schooling had been public high school. Along with my unfamiliarness with my academic surroundings I was also beginning my first job and had weekly meetings with a counselor.Needless to say, i put too much on my own plate and wasn't able to keep up with it as much as i had hoped to. I had been visiting a counselor to get help on some issues i had been facing with an Anxiety disorder along with issues in my home life ,which had been keeping me from focusing on many tasks. The anxiety was a major issue for me during fall and winter quarter but has since then improved and taken a back seat and is much less of an issue now. I know that none of these are an excuse for my poor grades but it was a heavy influence on how i handled

Early in my sophomore year of college, I was involved in a three-car-accident. It resulted in me having a mild concussion and my home life was negatively affected due to the financial and emotional burden of the accident. It also affected my academic career, more specifically my advanced Organic Chemistry course. I managed to obtain a B in the course, and a B+ in the accompanying lab/recitation course. I was encouraged to switch out of honors Organic Chemistry and into a “less stressful” Organic Chemistry course my fellow peers were enrolled in by family members and faculty members. However, my love for chemistry and a challenge steered me away from taking the easy route. I remained in my Organic Chemistry course, despite everyone’s wishes.
In 2005, the County of Santa Barbara adopted three key values as “guidepost” to direct County employees’ interactions with each other and the public. These three values are Accountability; Customer-Focus; and Efficiency (ACE).

The curriculums in NYU are designed to convey both the concentration of accounting and liberal arts courses so that I can learn from different perspectives to meet the high requirement in my future career path. Helping me build a close connection with either top companies or Stern alumni, the accounting society sponsors various events, such as visitations to accounting firms, the Spring Semester Speaker Series about accounting-related topics, and panels like "Career Month Plus" and "Careers in the Small-to Medium-Sized Firms”. In NYU, I believe I can fully discover my potential to thrive and become a person who makes the most responsible decision in the

In the beginning of the term I received alert 4 I was doing well in school. However I neglected one of my classes, which had a big project due late into the term.
