The one thing that I have learned from my college experience is to lead. I am a very shy and quiet person, but this school has turned me into a person that is able to lead a whole group of people. I have gained respect from others and the ability to excel in my future career to lead others to better health. It has been valuable to attend college because as a proud 22 year old women I have a future. If I was not in the United States, I would have not gone to college. I would have been married by the age of 18 and would have been a good housewife. Now I am able to say that I have a career rather than just staying home and watching the children, cooking and cleaning. It is very valuable for me to have a college experience because as a Hindu woman, I can extend my knowledge not only to my family but also to the rest of the community. To me, being a leader in the community is an honorable position.

I have attended three different colleges, all for different majors. Each one has taught me how much passion I have for all the interest in my lives. I have never wanted to stop at knowing one topic, I want to know them all. Each time I go to a different college I make new friends, learn new information, and they usually open up a new door of opportunities and interest that I have. Right now I am doing my college online and it has taught me alot of responsibility and time management. I have to stay focued and not allow myself to put my school work aside, since I do not have someone there with a due date.

My college experience has exposed me to a variety of new challenges. I have learned the meaning of hard work and responsibility. In order to succeed I had to step up my performance and rise to the challenge of the coursework at Albany College of Pharmacy. I am learning what I am capable of and to be proud of my accomplishments. I am gaining friends and relationships that may last me a lifetime. Part of this college experience is learning to work as a team, watching out for one another, while at the same time trying to excell and achieve personal goals. At college I am learning to be an independent and capable individual, making my own decisions and shaping my own future. My college experience is allowing me to grow as a person and as part of a community. I am learning skills as a leader and a team member. I am molding myself into a productive part of the school community and a role model for others. I am proud of my accomplishments in college so far and look forward to the challenges and accomplishments that lie ahead of me.

Thus far my college experience at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has been nothing less than stellar. The nature of the school is what makes it so enjoyable. Although the academic rigor often times causes stress and results in lots of time studying, it all pays off with a degree from this school because student alwyas can find a job post graduation. This alone gives me the motivation to put in the work now, regardless of how hard and consuming it may be. I know that when I graduate I will find and excellent job and I will be one hundred percent prepared for it. My college experience has also been enhanced through my involvement. I am part of the soccer team, I am a Student Ambassador, and I am also a peer mentor. Involvement keeps me busy, but allows me to make new friend, blow off some steam from time to time, and msot importantly have fun. Without involvement my college experience would not be nearly as fulfilling or enjoyable. If I had to choose a college again, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences would be, without a doubt, my number one choice.

After only being in my college for alittle over one year of the six I have to attend here, I have obtained much from my college. I have gained much knowlage about the career I am pursing in just a little over a year, all about the the many fields and different directions the career choices as well as much about the human body and medical field. A big skill I have picked up and will be focused on much more in the future is that of public speaking. Being a pharmacist requires much interaction and helping of other people so I have gained much people skills and vocal abilities in front of others while attending this school. All of the qualities from this school have their ups and downs but they are all mainly focused on provided the students with the best education and skills needed for the profession that the schools foundation is based on, and thats pharmacy. This school experience has been valuable for me to attend because I am gaining the education that I need to become the best pharmacist that I can be to help others in the future.

I have learned how much one’s pharmaceutical expertise and strong devotion to social work can positively change society. I became more excited about my major thanks to the professors because I could feel their passion for medicine and philanthropy emanating from their presence. Thier passion and integrity motivated me and made me think what i would want to do later as a pharmacist. Following their footsteps, I wish to contribute and serve the people by studying pharmacy. But I believe my path can be far more global in scope. In our increasingly integrated, globalized world, I believe my calling is global philanthropy, and I wish to serve the poorest sections of the world through organizations such as UNICEF or WHO. As a member of the global community, I must fight this war against the vicious cycle of poverty and disease in various parts of our world. I am confident that the zeal and devotion that I inherited from my grandmother will motivate me to excel and achieve the opportunities that I need in order to fulfill my dreams and visions of global philanthropy.

After I began to attend Everest College I grew up as a person and as a proffesional. I learned to appriciate medacine and my superiors in a whole new level. I have been learning so much in so little time and it just keeps getting better. I learned to love what I am learning and appreciate all the information in a way i would have never before. It has been so valuable to me and my loved ones to grown up so fast while attending college. I'm gaining so much from this experience and i have so much more to gain.

My college experience so far has been beyond words. At first I was scared beyond anything to be in such a large school with new people and exceptionally hard classes. I thought it would be impossible for me to do as well as I have. While I have had a few problem classes where I did not do as well as I had hoped, I have also had classes i excelled in. Particularly, the classes in my major were awesome. I think my time in college has been valuable to me for a couple of reasons. firstly, to help my time management skills, which, in my limited high school experience, did not exist at all. I also learned a lot about my own personal character in my first few semesters of college. I learned that I am definitly in the right major, and that some professors are horrible at their job. I also learned that there are amazing professors who can do wonders with one class. Basically college has been an amazing experience so far and I'm seriously looking foreward to next fall when I transfer to West Cherster University.

My college experience has been valuable to me because I know when I finish college that I will have a great career path waiting for me. Pharmacists are always needed and are very significant in the health field. I will be full of knowledge in wish I can share with the rest of the world. I want to be able to help as many people as I can. By being a pharmacist, I hope to have positive impact on my community by providing people with my knowledge and care. I love working with people and talking to them. The most exciting part about being a pharmacist is having the knowledge to know that the drugs being prescribed will help the patient live a better quality of life. I have also learned how to manage my time so I can get all of my work done and still have time for the clubs and activities I participate in, such as the outdoor club and the basketball team. I am learning a new world of cultures and opinions that have opened my own way of thinking. But most importantly, I am being prepared the the reality of the real world.

College for me, as for many others, was the beginning to my path to adulthood. Albany College of Pharmacy taught me not just about the molecular composition of the drugs we all know and love but also opened my eyes to various world cultures and their rich histories. Although the institution is known as a "College of Pharmacy", it could also be called a "College of Growth and Support", "of Lasting Friendships", even "of True Love." Even though many of these names may not seem to have any significance at first glance, they've been elements imperative to my success at school; without the good friends I made and the supportive professors I've had the joy of learning from, my positive experience at Albany College of Pharmacy would most likely have been diminished.
