Please guys, who knows anything about Berea college scholarship program?

Hello! I go to Berea College. I have a youtube channel where I talk about Berea and studying in USA in general. You can check out my channel @ Esther Olabisi or https://www.youtube.com/c/EstherOlabisi

Thank you! Yess, I'm actually in contact with her, we'll meet

LagosismyHome:


Congrats , good to read as this school admission comes with full funding so great choice .


There is a girl Rheenah from here last session. Hope you get to find her and network . All the best in your studies

Haha well thank God for the success and exception.
If he remembered his pet, that'd be cute and yes it's best to make things clear..

imperiouxx:


You're very lucky. There was a time some pre- students were denied. I'm not sure if this is still not happening. Probably the vo remembers his pet back home.... who knows? And you made your case clear too.

Cheers!

Thank you. It was a fully funded scholarship.

Aww Congratulations! Berea college is highly competitive. #Jisike

Hello Everyone!

This is my first time commenting on this forum, I'd been observing for a while before my interview. Finally went for it yesterday...I was hesitant about sharing my transcript since I wasn't here all along but I remembered that when I was searching for transcripts and advice, I wanted to see something similar to my own case of pre-professional/pre-vet/pre-med as it isn't your regular bachelor.
I decided that I would share because someone else may need this too.
I really thank God for the success of my interview. It was all Him. I was looking at the V.Os while they interviewed people and I was trying to read them and when I noticed the guy (no 2) I wanted to interview me, I told God while I was on the queue that this was who I wanted. He seemed natural and relaxed and that would also help me stay relaxed and converse naturally. Immediately the lady directing the queue pointed me to "number 2", I just started smiling to myself saying thank God!

Long story don't mind me... anyways, I'm not sure of the exact words used but these were the questions:

V.O: Good morning
Me: Good morning sir (with a little smile)
V.O: Can I have your passport?
(Looks through it, then asks for I-20 I think).
Then says, what are you going to study?
Me: I'm going for my pre-veterinary studies at Berea College, Kentucky.
V.O: What is this programme about?
Me: This programme will help me fulfil all forms of requirements for veterinary school; practical, theoretical...and animal experience (Just tipped in this animal experience part randomly)
V.O: Why are you interested in this field of study?
Me: Ever since I was a kid, I discovered my love for animals and this was not just about loving them, I wanted to treat them, take care of them, give them another chance at life when they're sick. However, here in Nigeria, people don't really care about animals, most think they're just for food, or shouldn't be taken care of, but I think differently. I believe that animals are more than that and are important to us and the environment. I know that if I go to study in the US, I will be exposed to ideas and learning opportunities that I can apply here in Nigeria to make changes. I believe that people do what they do because they're not educated about that area, so as a veterinarian, I'll be able to help animals and create awareness about their importance, work with NGOs like the Nigerian Conservation Foundation etc... (I can't remember all I said but he just kept nodding and seemed to be following my point, so I just finished up.)
V.O: How many schools did you apply to?
Me: 3 schools
V.O: Did you take any test?
Me: I took the IELTS. (Nodded as in okay)
V.O: When did you graduate?
Me: I graduated high school in 2013
V.O: What have you been doing since then?
Me: I didn't go to the university immediately after high school because my dad passed away in 2011 when I was still in high school (Here he cut in and said "Oh I'm sorry about your loss", I smiled and said "aw thank you " ).
So that left my mum as the only one to take care of me and my siblings' education. My immediate elder sister just got into uni as at that time so my mum told me to wait until she graduates before I can proceed with uni. My sister graduated last year and I started applying to schools.
Between that time and now, I've been doing things to develop myself. (I already wrote all of these in my DS-160 so I assumed he was going through it as I spoke ).
I volunteered at a veterinary clinic as an assistant, I learnt basic French language, I did an intensive fashion design training and I did a foundation programme in Zoology at the University of Lagos to get familiar with my future course of study.
(He paid attention, listening to me)
V.O: Oh okay I'll be approving your visa.
(I didn't hear anything again )
Take your.....come back on.....
He passed me the paper and I-20.
Me: (I gave a bigg smile ) Thank you so much!!
V.O: (Smiling back) You're welcome!


This V.O was literally my dream interviewer, thank God!!
Apparently I didn't even see nor notice the collection paper with my I-20 until I was on my way home looking through my documents. I only collected them when he gave me, I was too excited to notice them � >_< People kept saying congrats congrats on my way out�

How are you people so negative?
Is every lightskinned person bleached?
Just because she's lighter than the average lightskinned, it means she bleached?
You can even see how her mother looks and you're talking about bleaching.
Obviously, you just want to be negative and putting others down doesn't make you any bigger, it just shrinks you the more.

And "bony ass mannequin"? Wow. You'll be alright.

DIKEnaWAR:
Which kain over bleached half Chinese, bony assed mannequin be this?

A narcissistic relationship is already unhealthy!
There is no relationship, it's just the narcissist sucking you off as a supply. They will idealise, devalue, and discard you. They'll probably come back again to hoover and they'll suck off of you.
The cycle will continue to go on and on until you realise yourself!

Zykod:





If she's refusing to make changes, you will snap at some point if....she needs to make changes while, you need to be tolerant, it's a two-way approach...Both of you need to meet in the middle, she works on herself, you tolerate her. If not, the relationship will suffer spikes and will be far from what can be called a healthy relationship !

Persuading a narcissist (if she's really one) to seek help or change is something that yields zero.
The narcissist does not see any reason why he should get help. They usually only find themselves at therapy because of other issues like depression, anxiety, etc or when at the court for divorce, crime, or something.
And even when they are in therapy, they're difficult and usually uncooperative.

Information is free. Read up from professionals.

cooldood:

Hmm...interesting.What if she's the very stubborn type and can be very difficult to persuade her to change her source of information or church,etc,cos I believe her information source is part of the problem.

Jesus is able to do exceedingly. Absolutely. But you do not see fire and stay put.
Seeing this before you marry someone, you still choose to be with them "praying and hoping", when you marry them and it becomes worse, don't ask God why He allowed you to marry that kind of person nor say God didn't answer your prayers when you already saw the signs earlier.
It's like being in a relationship with someone that can kill you, yet you stay, "praying" that they don't.

God answers prayers and changes people but God also wants you to choose someone that respects and loves you.

You're not married, it is still a premarital relationship. Make the right choice before you end up losing yourself to a narcissist while waiting for a miracle.

The most important thing here is for you to be first of all sure that this person has a personality disorder at all, and then narcissism.
You should read information off the internet and measure up what you learn with your girl's personality....and then probably talk to a professional to be sure.

Zykod:
Unlike psychology that preac.hes NP.D has no cure, the backbone of N.PD is " se.lf ", sel.f here is the direct opposite direction of what Ch.ristia.nity preaches, if you adore the chick and mean well for her, introduce her to C.hris.t, this is the beginn.ing to correct the situ.ation. Invol.ve her in " in.ternal Chris.tian ri.tuals ", worship conferences, bible reading, and the truth of the gosp.el will break the m..ould in heart, note correction is dependent of the Ho.ly.spi.rit, and the willin.gness of the chi.ck to want to make changes, witho.ut a desi.re to change, nothing can be done, but the pa.th to tr.eatment is exactly what the new test.ta.ment doct.rine is a.bout.

Pray that the H.oly.sp.irit brings conviction...This is the m.ost effe.ctive trea.tment if you want ta.ngible results.


Let me know how it goes after a while trying these tips, i would relaly love to know how it plays out.

Good luck with your chick.

A narcissist will not work on himself to make anything better!
The only thing that matters to the narcissist is himself. Everything is about him. The relationship is about him, the narcissist is with his partner because of himself, control etc.
That's why he/she is a narcissist and that's why it's a personality disorder.
Narcissists are hard to deal with by professionals themselves, what more a regular person.

Zykod:





If she's refusing to make changes, you will snap at some point if....she needs to make changes while, you need to be tolerant, it's a two-way approach...Both of you need to meet in the middle, she works on herself, you tolerate her.

Lol. Wow. This information is so sad.
You're telling someone to continue with a narcissist because of love? Stay in an abusive relationship because of love? That's not love, that would be codependency or something.
..
Narcissist, self-awareness? Change according to will?
Ah. You really should get properly informed about narcissism, you would not be saying all these if you really knew what it was about. You will tell the person to run as quick and far as they can!

bluetrails7:
The way out is to lover her passionately, love her with all the love you've got, do not give signs that confirms her fears, finally, though therapists say there's no treatment for NPD, it's a pure lie, having changed for the better, i can tell you authoritatively that there'sno issue difficult for the Lord, the light of the gospel can shine light on a person's conditon, make a significant awareness of their conditions known to them, and only then can such individual make changes on their accord, of their self-will. It's only from within that changes can come, and it starts with self-awareness. So, if i had such a girlfriend, i won't breakup with her, I will love her with intense passion, i won't give her reasons to doubt, i will pray for and with her. And most importanty, she has to read the Bible so the light of salvation can help in her evolution.



In the end, we all need to make changes in our personal lives...so until we all reach the point where we say i need no fixing, we have work to perform on ourselves..

Hope this settles your question

Mery Xmas

How is NPD better than ocpd ����
How do you say lacking empathy and conscience, being vile, always wanting to feel grandiose etc are better than obsessions, perfectionism (and all that ocpd is about)?
Hmpf.

Purebeerry:
Well atleast its still better than Obsessive compulsive
personality disorder (OCPD). That one is the worse.

Don't ask me why, I did psychology.

Oh no, this is so misleading. PTSD and narcissism are two different things. Please.
The scenerio you painted... the second, is rarely a case through which people develop a NP. Never heard of such.
NPD is generally known to be developed during the early years or probably even genetic.
If you're not a professional, do not "form any conclusion" and share with others.
It's not fair on the study of the subject area as a whole neither is it fair on survivors of narcissistic abuse.
You can share what you have learned, that's different.

bluetrails7:




Not sure, i'm studying this subject deeply at the moment,i'm yet to reach deeper/concrete conclusion

Few things are certain from my research,it's a PTSD, a mental condition where a person subjects themself to because their trust has been abused earlier in life by someone they trusted deeply,i.e. the child of an absentee parent, a lady sexually abused by a boyfriend she loved deeply, these wounds inflicts wounds, and they begin to cause such an individual to alter their personality,in the end NPD.

Seun:

I was blessed by the music too. It was touching. Music is powerful.


I actually thought it was staged, because the timing was so convenient. Is it normal to get HIV test results on the same day?

Funny enough, she didn't get it on the same day, it was a 2 day programme, she bbelieved she got her healing on the first day and went for a test before coming on the second day.

Now I know that this is simply empty talk without even knowing what actually happened.

Sex does not make a marriage.
So if you find someone you wanna marry, you try them out, they aren't what you want ,you dump them?
Do it with another person? Dump them too
And so on?
Or you dump someone you claim to love because their "pee pee" is small?
How many people that you tested have you married?
..Until you test everybody.

This is part of why we have more divorces than before.
People marry for the wrong reasons.

If you marry someone that supposedly has all you want in bed, what if the person gets sick and maybe they can't be sexually active? Or they get impotent, you'll leave the person abi or cheat on them?
Or when the marriage gets old and sex is like out of it for one person, what happens ? Smh.

Sex is just a cherry on top of marriage.
You do not "test" people, they're worth more than their sexuality and vagina/penis.
Nobody tests brand new cars because you love and take it how it is, you only test used cars.
Marriage is about two people coming together, not two sex organs.

Before marriage, you both can go to the hospital to check each other and all that if you're about sex, you can't "test" anyone better than a professional.
Or if it's after marriage, you find out your partner has a problem, you stay with each other and work through the treatment and all.

If you cheat on someone or leave just because of sex, then it means you never even loved the person, it's good sef, just be going, let true love come.

mickeymimi:
What if you meet the right guy that ticks nearly all the boxes ........ but not good in bed ... will you dump him for a broke ass guy that is perfect in bed. ..if you share true love all that wont matter .. you can learn from and enjoy each other...........anyway its your life sha ..

Exactly!
TRUE LOVE!
And what's better than "gaining experience" from and FOR the love of your life?!

emperorchedda:
Oga stop pretending. One of the most important factors in marriage is sex.

Naija and hypocrisy

Important factor in MARRIAGE ,after courtship, yes. Not in "relationships".

Dandsome:
Hmmmm... i understand your point lady. Imagine getting to your matrimonial home on your wedding night only to realize your hubby is impotent. My dear your own na sorry.

Well, the only issue is that pre-marital sex has led to countless baby mamas.

Ummm...There are medical tests that can check that before marriage, and will even check better than "you" so that's no excuse.

" I don’t want to be in a situation where the guy is impotent or can’t please me. I will resent him.”

Umm first off, there are ways to check your partner medically before marriage for problems like this,so that's no excuse.

And you wanna keep "testing" every man to see the one that will "satisfy" you...I wonder how many testing that'll be.

You will RESENT a man you supposedly "love" because he can't "satisfy" you?
Well good thing you let him off early because even if you're "satisfied", later on something will make y'all split since there was no love initially, decisions clouded by "satisfaction".

Also if he "satisfies" you and maybe he falls sick or gets a problem and cannot be active after marriage or something, you will cheat on him and tada..

Example of why divorce rate is high.
People marry for the wrong reasons.

Randyhot:
Truth be told, any woman that feels embittered about her husband infidelity is just giving her self unecessary hbp...it is in our nature, both science and religion has proved it so, just be comforted that he doesnt neglect his responsibilities to his family.

WOW. It is in your nature to cheat, but not in a woman's nature to cheat if she wants? and 27 people liked this? I pity whoever is with/married to you. Very awful.

Shalomdee:
Inasmuch as you sound innocent there is something gravely wrong with that conclusion. You cannot keep sinning simply because you can repent. What if you die before repenting. Besides Paul said we shoudnt continue to sin because grace abounds. Sinning willfully consistently can harden your conscience and as such you may go to hell.

The bottom line is this, try all your best to live holy, ask God for grace but if you fall, don't hesitate to repent and keep living holy.

saying the same thing.

I totally undersand this! It is very true and necessary. All the comments here are just saying stuff that are irrelevant because they have made it seem like you are encouraging sin when they do not understand. They are saying it like once you are born again, you will never sin. How possible.. Sike! Yes as a born again, sin has no power over you, but you are in this world filled with sin, that is why we have Jesus to help us overcome, and also lift us when we fall. I also gave my life to Christ when I was much younger, I dont remember the age and when but I know I did, and then whenever I sinned and I remembered every time, I would say God forgive me , God forgive me, me and my friends then thought it was a great idea, which is not how salvation works. I was saved but I was brought up with the common Nigerian teachings of RELIGION. SALVATION BY WORKS, which is 100% OPPOSITE. I would repeatedly go for the alter call, just like you said and many others especially IN NIGERIA(yes because of the RELIGIOUS mentality) have done. Not until I was about 14 or so, then I started to truly understand that, once I am saved, I am saved, and cannot lose my salvation, even though I sin when I dont want to, it's inevitable, and even sometimes consciously, the only thing I have to do is ask for forgiveness through Christ, continue to repent and it is finished. MANY CHRISTIANS do not know this, they think they lose their salvation when they fall, go back again for alter call, or lose hope and then finally faith. Infact to be honest, that mentality still tries to affect me when I fall but I know that it's the devil so I rebuke Him and also ask God to forgive me for underestimating the power of the blood of JESUS. I pray that others who read this that you have shared understand it and that it gives them a revelation.
