i am an incoming fresman.

Both of the colleges I have attended have been entirely different; one regular classroom education and the other vocational trade. In my current trade school, the teachers have been so much more interested in "me" than just being a number or a person in a classroom they really did not know. Many times they did not seem to care about me or want to take the time to help me. Now that I am attending my trade school, the school is still very big, the classes are many, but the teachers have made such a difference in how I feel about school and my self-worth. They are very encouraging and take the time to get to know me and help with anything. That has been very important to me and has increased my GPA to an "A" since I left the junior college I was previously attending. I enjoy school very much now, am doing very well, and I have much respect for my teachers. The students also seem to help one another more than in the other college I attended. I have made many friends, some of which I feel will be lifelong friends, which is awesome!

When I started my freshman year in California State University of Northridge I was very eager to find out what was coming up next in my life. I was at a point in my life in which I was not sure what I really wanted for myself; fortunately during my first year in college I figured out that my passion was in radiology. I discovered radiology when I was assigned a research paper about radiologists. Thanks to college I now I know what career path I want to peruse. During my time in college I also learned how to be more independent. I have learned how to manage my own time. Time management is essential in college because you have to manage your class schedule, study time, time to eat and time for yourself. The most valuable thing I have received is my education. I have more knowledge now than I did when I first started college.

I Finally understand the value of a College education. I now know first hand the cost of a College degree and let me just say this its not an easy price to pay, especially in the rought economic times we live in today. Even though its hard I vaslue my experiences as a student and hope that it will all pay off in the long run.

I have never been the girl that was alone. I always had my parents with me to help me out whenever I needed help, or my friends at school. All of this changed in college. All of my friends attended different schools and I was the only one that came here. I felt lonely and like an outcast. Little did I know that while not having the distractions of my friends I got a lot done. I had more time for myself, my homework. I learned that being alone is not bad at all. I also learned that without having my parents next to me I learned to be independent and I watched out for myself. I also learned the responsibility that my attendance and my work are in every class. The professors did not check up on my work, or urged me to keep up with my work. I had to do it all alone. I had the responsibility of turning in my work on time and making sure I knew when my next assignment was due and when I had my next test. It was my responsibility to take care of my work and my life.
