Brescia University Top Questions

I graduated from high school in 1970. I have been in and out of a few colleges. University of Illinois at Chicago, spent three years serving in the U.S. Army, Richard J. Daley Jr College in Chicago, studied in the Joliet Diocese for 4 years and ordained to the Order of Deacon and now am attending Brescia University to get my BA in Theology. I would say one of the most important things is to get your life in order. If you have the opportunity and the resources to get into college try your very best to get a degree. Start and finish your schooling and surround yourself with people who will encourage you in your goal.

Instead of enrolling in premed courses, look into the English classes. It can save your GPA and prevent a fair amount of stress. Also, join the paper earlier than January. Everything works out just fine for you, given your position as editor and only a sophomore, but you belong there.

The first thing I have gained from my colledge expirience is indapendence. I am on my own and I make my own decisions my mother is not around to tell me what to do or when to do it. It's very freeing and rewarding and I don't feel like a child anymore. however, with my new found indapendence also came responsablity, it's my job to get up in the morning and get to class. It's my job to know my assignments, finish them, and turn them in. I have also learned to spend my money wisely; food is way more important than a cute top. Finally, I've made life-long friends here in college people I know will be there for me anytime I need them. People I'd be there for if they ever needed me. It's been valuable for me to attend college because I've been able to expirence life in a beautiful way that's preparing me to get out into the world and make a difference. That's also giving me the education to reach my dream and to provide for my future family.
