I have recieved leadership skills and a lot of engineering practice. I have been able to take these skills with me to an internship that I recieved from an on campus career fair.

I have not attended college but I am planing on going to Provo College and I think it will be a great experience for me and an awsome opportunity to grow and make my parents and family proud.

I have been out of school for a while now and it has been the best experience thus far to be back in college. I have been back in school since September 13th and ITT Technical Institute has given me a great start to refresh my brain. School is a very special part of my education because I'm showing my daughters that I won't stop nor will I give until I have walked out with a degree and give them the best life that they deserve. My college experienc we thus far let's me know that in 21/2 years I will have a degree which is really motivating me to go futher with my education. It's been an honor to attend ITT Technical Institute because the staff makes me feel welcome and that the resources the school have to help students is outstanding. The teacher I have thus far lets me know and feel that they are there for me or the class anytime if needed. I look at being back in school as part one in acomplishing my goals, my main goal which will be accomplish is to GRADUATE and to have a career.

So far my college experience has taught me that i need to be my own person. i have to think for myself and not let others actions and thoughts determine what i do with my life. attending college is valuable because i am able to push myself further than what i would have done if i just went into the work force. it is helping me really discover who i am.

I completed my BS in dietetics at CSULA after transfering from another college. Originally, I would have taken 3 years to complete my degree due to transfering of school, but I was able to complete everything in 2 years (thanks for all professors who allowed me to take the classes I needed). In addition to being able to take excess units, I got a scholarship that paid for one whole year of school there. Great help as I did not qualify for any financial aid! Also, I was the President of a club organization, which I am certain I would not have had this opportunity at another school. I was well respected and liked by both students and professors. I made lifelong friends and I still keep in touch with them all. I really enjoyed the variety of resources offered at CSULA, from financial aid to career support programs. CSULA is an amazing school - supportive and friendly environment. I would strongly recommend a future student to attend this school and be actively involved with extra curriculum actitivities. A wonderful way to make new friends and networking. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write about my school!

My first year of college taught me so much-- not just English composition and trigonometry, but more importanty how to be a good student and how to plan the rest of my academic career. In the beginning, I was just glad to get out of high school, feeling so grateful that I found a college that would let me enroll at fifteen years old. At first I was overwhelmed by the college work I was receiving, but then I realized that I was in college to enjoy my education (something that was impossible in high school), and I decided to be a good student. I did my work diligently, absorbed as much knowledge as I can, and had fun learning new things. Moreover, I got involved on campus and in the community. I joined Amnesty International and the mock trial club, and I volunteered at my middle school. I began thinking about resumes and recommendations I may have to ask from professors. While things certainly got more serious, I am still very much enjoying my college experience. That's because my freshman year taught me that while college is fun, I have to always keep the future in mind.

The college experience thus far has provided a great value and definitely been somewhat of an eye-opener. I have learned a great deal, not just on an educational level but on a personal level as well. One thing I love about college is while it is more demanding than highschool, it seems less rigid. A more freeing experience, to genuinely explore your aspirations and find out what truly motivates you. One of the greatest values college offers is personal growth. You learn a lot about yourself, your strengths as well as your weaknesses. It's important to stay open, open to opurtunities, ideas, and differences. For me I'm learning how to direct my desires, and fuel myself because passion isn't enough, you have to know how to apply it. College is carving out ambition and meshing that with your passion and love of what you do, all while expanding your mind.

The ability to work with diverse groups of people....

It's better environment and educational place to learn rather than junior colleges.

I enjoyed my studies immensely. I was an excellent student and received good grades. I was serious about getting an education. My undergraduate degress in psychology provided me with a firm foundation to enter graduate school. Because I did get a good education in my major, I became highly competitive in the workforce. Before I began college, I did not feel that I had what it takes to go to college. Therefore, I did not enter college right out of high school. When I did decide, I feel that I was then ready to be a serious student. After all of my excellent work experience, I have decided to further my education in my field at the doctoral level
