I have grown so much since going to Albion. The professors really care about helping me understand my classes. They practically beg me to come to their office hours to ask questions. My major is in Biology, and the professors in that department, even if they are not my professors, will help me with my work. There are also a ton a clubs and student groups to join.

The biggest this I’ve got out of my college experience is, be responsible! This is nothing like high school. Your teachers are not going to baby you into coming to class or doing your work. Another thing I learned is to make smart decisions. You can get yourself into a lot of situations if you don’t make smart decisions. Your mother and father aren’t around to tell you what’s wrong and what’s right. So you have to leave it up to yourself to stay out of trouble. The college experience has mad me in to an all around better person. I’ve also learned to study work harder and manage my time better.

My take away from my college experience was a lesson in choosing the right lender and working whenever possible to cover expenses. It has taught me that every dollar counts and creating a financial plan that accounts for potential emergencies. Learning this was pivotal in my personal life. Being a major in Anthropolgy and Sociology taught me that not every study truly shows what it sets out to explain and not every legislative policy really reaches the ends it is purported to do so. This background has also taught me that creative policies created by the people who the policies will apply to are usually the most successful in reaching the goals of the policy. I have taken this policy and used it to my benefit in my legal studies by questioning the rules and stautes I apply daily. By questioning these laws I may serve my future clients, and the nation, by overturning unconstitutional and unjust laws. That is a very valuable skill that I am grateful to have obtained.
