I would tell myself to stay foucus on your school work, remember your goals, remember that you are doing it for you, keep the faith in God, never give up, and be yourself but grow as well.

I'm receiving a well rounded education and attending a great nursing program at AASU. It has taught me responsibility, hard work and helped me set goals in my life. I've also met alot of new people and friends. College holds the most value to me in that it is going to insure a good future and a well paying job.

College is one of the best experiences a person could ever have. Where else could a student go and have the world come to their feet? You meet other students who have come from all over the world, teachers from all over the world. You learn life lessons as well as life skills. You learn to depend on yourself. You learn to believe in yourself. You learn who you are as an individual as well as who you are within a group. College provides a safety new that allows for mistakes and recoveries, wrongs and rights, slips and falls. College is not only an educational journey but also a personal journey to yourself.

I am originally from Russia where I finish only high school. The American system of education is completely new to me: a great diversity, bigger classes, new mates in each class. In addition to my college shock, I experienced cultural shock. But I put every effort to combine my college and family responsibilities, to demonstrate to my daughter that nothing comes easily, that she has to work hard to be successful. I am also eager to prove that education will provide a stable future, no matter in what country you have to live. My College Success class was a valuable experience in where I received knowledge about school policy, majors, managing stress. . Choosing a major in college can be overwhelming when there are so many interesting fields of study. It’s hard to narrow it down to just one, and, as a result, students switch majors several times or even drop out of college. To find a satisfying major I learn as much as I could about my skills, interests, values, and personal preferences. I thought of what you might like to do for the rest of your life, and what you wouldn’t want to do.

I have learned that you must do anything and everything you can to understand that subject. Do not depend on teachers for sympathy. But also, I have learned that if my teacher is not the greatest, I should tell their boss and not let bad teaching be the reason I fail a class. Put in many hours of study time. If you still are not passing tests, ask your peers who make B's or A's how they study. College is valuable only in the way that it makes you rethink your future career and if you are willing to do anything to recieve a degree in that field.

After attending a community college for a year, I realized I wanted to take a different route than I had originally planned for. While I'm currently attending a technical school, I feel as if I have found my calling with business administration. For some, college is about having fun, and being in a sorority. For myself, college has been an eye opening experience. I am learning what to expect in the real world, and I am going to make the most out of the education I am recieving. My ultimate plan is to become a wedding planner, and possibly own my own business. Had you have asked me a year ago, I would have given a completely different answer. That's the thing about college though. College is all about experiences, and the choices that are made. It's about finding that one thing you're truly passionate about, and it's about setting and planning goals for your future. While attending school, I have found something that excites me, and I am especially thrilled about achieving what I now know I want to become in my life. Schooling after high school was definitely the right choice for me.

Not been in collage yet. Yet I intend to merge psychiatric therapy and physical therapy. To try and help people that don't like the idea of traditional therapy. I would use a gym environment to try and teach people to self heal. To use safe exercise practices to help themselves and others. I plan on using course's in athletic training to help binde the two extremely useful therapy's in to a third more personalize-able therapy.

So far my online college experience at the University of Phoenix has been great. I have learned so much during disscussion and with the assignments. The staff has been extra helpful for me being new to the online community and school, so many years after my high school graduation. I have had the honor of maintaing a 3.0 gpa and have excelled in my computer and technology skills since my enrollment. I have been to community college in the past, right after high school, and it was not as ingaging and wonderful as this experience. I am able to tend to my family, focus on my future as a teahcer, and go to school on line. It Is amazing and the values of having an education are unspeakable. Tis experience means the world to me and the future or my children and I want nothing more then to continue until I have a masters in education. If I do not win the experience does not change for me. Thank you, Ashley

My college experience has been teaching me about the value of time and hard work. I have learned to deal my time more wisely and still have time for my family and myself. Also that no matter how hard something is there is always someone who will be able to answer your questions and help you out. Attending college is important as it is a way to help teach people that hard work pays off in the end and that there are many people out there who are just like them. It gives them a since of how things will progress in the outside world and in the work place.
