What I have received from Benedict College was that anybody that is determined to receive any education can achieve that goal by coming to Benedict College. Benedict College is very willing to make sure that any student becomes success in what they want in their future. At Benedict College students can arrive on campus as they are. When students leave the campus grounds they become the person that they always wanted to become with the help of Benedict College foundation.

My collge experience led me to love knowledge. This is why I want to continue my education an pursue a graduate degree. Knowledge is power and no price can be placed on knowledge. Once you have knowledge it can not be taken away from you. The knowledge and education that I have gained so far has assisted me on jobs and has also helped me help communities expand capacity and become more empowered. As I obtain a graduate degree in the field of health/science, this will help me expand my capacity so that I may help communities and individuals have a better quality of life as far as there health is concerned. I want to be able to provide better access to health care for indiviuals and groups who are less fortunate in society.

Upon my first arrival on campus their so many people from different diverse background ,some were friendly providing directions to lost souls and others who walked passed you without saying excuse me. Your mind wonders if this is the right place for you and can you succeed in an institution like this. Being the first person in my family to ever attend a four-year college , I was determined to do well and succeed, so putting my fears behind me had to be quickly removed. Learning to adjust to my new surrounding had to be the first order of business. Knowing the history of the college made me proud of being apart the institution and I was eager to start my learning progress. There were several challenges/interferences that came my way but I am so thankful up to this day that my advisor believe in me and keep me focus on my studies. I always remember my professor saying "association bring on assemblation, so watch who you hang around with. Connect with someone who are going somewhere and you will get far in life. My biggest regret is that I didn't continue my education and recieve my Masters.

I have learned who I am and what direction I want to take my life. My teachers and my peers have shaped me to who I have become. I have learned that I love business and everything that goes along with it. I work in retail and marketing and I absolutely love my job. I would love to have a business degree and keep doing what I love most. I want to own a bakery some day and furthering my education to learn about business and how sales and advertising works will help me suceed in the future. I value my future and my education because it is something that will stay with me my entire life.

Prior to attending college, I worked for about a year before I had even considered going back to school. Once I had made it up in my mind to buckle down and do what's right for my future, there was no turning back. Since 2008, I have been attending Benedict College. This school has great teachers, small classes, and many people who are willing to tutor. Because there is a small amount of partying going on, time is better spent on studying and preparing for the next class date. I feel that Benedict College has been valuable to attend because the career centers are engaging and willing to help with my future career goals.

If I could go back to being a high school senior I would give myself advice about being able to interact well with people that are different from you because you can learn new things that could help you and you can say you've experienced that type of person. I would also start some type of college fund for myself because there are alot of expenses that go hand in hand with going to college that can be essential to how well you do in college. I would save up money for anything i needed for college including books, computers, and other materials because the economy is at a stand still at this moment and it"s hard for my parents to help me out and support the house hold at the same time. I would think as far ahead as possible because my finacial situations now are affecting my grades.

If I could go back in time to talk to myself as a high school senior, knowing what I know now, I would tell myself to be honest, not to trust everyone so easily, and to keep your eyes on the prize. I would tell myself to be honest because people tend to lose their self and act like someone they are not. It is just so much easier to be yourself. I would tell myself not to trust everyone so easily because people will take advantage of you and no one wants to be taken advantage of. Boys will be the main ones to attempt this. The last thing I would tell myself is to keep your eyes on the prize. What I mean by this is to remember what you came to college for. You came to college to get in education. Do not put partying above your education. You do not want to get to the end of the semester and be worried about if you passed your classes or not. If you concentrate all semester you will not have to worry.

You are an intelligent and thoughtful person. Taking the time to acquire a formal education will enable you to truly find your niche in the world and to beter appreciate all you obtain. Follow all of the leads you're afforded to fully develop your interests. Be able to sift through those notions and discoveries that may be tempting but facile. Become an asset to share with your comunity, friends, and family; so you can leave the world a better place than you found it. Enhance your character through hard work and scholastic involvement while you're young so you can enjoy the success you achieve that much sooner. All these things and more including the opportunities to solidify important and exciting social and community bonds come from the rigors of the collegiate experience. Allow yourself to enjoy all the advantages that you've earned and become a college graduate. There will be plenty of time for work, money, friends and family. Go ahead and commit to the path; the world will be ready and waiting for you at the other end.
