A Senior's Reflection on Her College Experience

When I came to UNH Manchester for the first time, I did not know what I would like to learn. I just graduated from high school, I do not know what the university will become and I do not even know what subjects I am interested in. Since UNH Manchester is a commuting school, I do not know whether my place is on campus.

In the first few weeks of school, I noticed that UNH Manchester would be the perfect choice. I had a chance to speak with many of my classmates because my class was small. We started a research group together and helped each other prepare for the exam. I learned about all the professors while learning about other students. The average class size is from 15 to 20, and the professor has the opportunity to speak with each student.

One of the first lessons I studied at UNH Manchester was an introduction to literary analysis (English version 419). This is my first time in college literature, and I am not sure what will happen. Immediately I discovered that studying literature is what I really are interested in. Professor Susan Walsh introduced this course in various kinds of sentences. From novels to poetry, the classroom analyzes literature in ways I have never done before. The paper we write expresses our view and discusses literary works from various perspectives. In fact, this course is one of the main reasons I chose English major.

Around this time, one of my professors suggested me apply for becoming a writing counselor at the Academic Enrichment Center (CAE). I have been to CAE several times, but I think this is an opportunity to participate in campus and support other students. I think it will be useful for accumulating the experience of the writer. I applied for this position and became a tutored tutor in spring.

As a mentor, I made countless memories. I work with many different people, from working in a summer English (ESOL) course for other languages ​​to running learning groups. By becoming a mentor, I can meet other students on campus and learn about themes that may not be familiar. When students participate in CAE in articles on various topics, it is helpful to ask them to talk about topics of interest.

In recent years, I have learned a lot about myself. Working on campus actually helped me become more extroverted. I expressed my idea better and I learned more confident methods about what I said. I had the opportunity to speak in class and give a speech about my experience at the meeting.

This spring, I graduate from the University of Manchester with an English degree. After studying here for 4 years, I got countless experiences and skills. Participation is one of the best decisions I made as a student

All students at the University of Manchester have opportunities to study and receive education as well as opportunities that are members of the community. When I came to UNH Manchester for the first time, I never thought that I could not talk in front of a group or even become a mentor. Everything that I got so far, both in the classroom and the campus, has helped me prepare for the future.

Abena Frimpong Bosompem is a senior at Mount Holyoke College and serves as a church worship team. She is enthusiastic about incorporating various worship methods to reflect the diversity of the congregation and affirm it. "If your population is diverse and having different experiences, I think it is important to have worship songs that represent them." But some people refused Abbenne's efforts. When Abina announced worship songs in a style closer to her tradition, I was of little interest. During the performance, "They did not sing", Abina said. "I am really frustrated because most of the songs we are singing are learning them during the rehearsal, I think that I am willing to study them."

Experience at my university In my life, I have heard people to look back on their college experience and explain how the university should be "the best experience in your life" There is. The first semester is what I hear about what people have talked about in the past. After my first semester at North Carolina State University, I noticed that I could not fully understand what the university is like before I experience college. - Experience at my university I decided to move my school from North Texas University to Pennsylvania State University, but leaving a friend is a difficult and long process. During the months leading up to this decision, I was full of pressure and put pressure on my family and friends. To make matters worse, I do not have the pressure of a car and I can not repair an existing car.
