Being in college is very stressful. If i can go back in time and sit down and talk too my high school self, I will tell her college is a different ball game from high school. I'll let her know classes are harder and is no joke. Being in class and on time is very important, if your late too class you'll miss out on important announcements / information and you dont want too miss that. But if you dont attend class at all your missing out on alot things but most important your missind assignments. When you miss assigments in college its hard too catch up. I'll also tell her too apply for scholarships, its very easy too apply and the money you'll receive can really help you out during college.

Going back in time to my high school days, I would tell myself to excel in my classes and study hard. Having a good educational foundation and background will help me to advance professionally as a student. I would also advise myself to take the SAT's seriously and prepare months ahead of time. Excellent SAT scores open doors to financing education. Lastly, I would make myself aware that there are thousands of scholarships available, and to start searching for them at the end of my Junior year, so I will have enough time to polish my applications to perfection.

I WOULD PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT MY TEACHERS AND COUNSLERS WAS TELLING ME. I WOULD HAVE TOOKEN SCHOOL MORE SERIOUSLY AND GOT BETTER GRADES.

I have got a since of importance out of my college education. With college you cant get very far in life. I want to attend college to better myself and my family. I want to make the myself, my family, and the world proud. College is one of the greatest things that was created. Getting an education is worth the hard work, the staying up late, and the stressing. Everything will pay off in thre long run. Without and education you cant get very far in live. You can get a good job, you cant take care of a family, let alone yourself. You have to make yourself known you to the world and to the work community and there isnt a better way to do it. Ye ofcourse your going to have to take out some loans but in the end it will all pay off. I wish everyone would take the extra mile and make there dreams come true. I know I am. So in the words or Barack Obama "YES WE CAN" and i know "I CAN".!

I have made some life long friendships. I have experienced living away from home which is helping me transition into being on my own. I have made some very important life decisions. And am on my way to becoming a very responsible adult. College has helped me to become more responsible.

My college experience so far has been challenging, I have been struggling financially because I am an out of state student. What I've learned so far is that coming to college is an eye opening experience. You are on your own and there is no one here to hold your hand. You have to take the initiative to see about your finances and make sure that you don't take out more loans than you can pay back. It will be the time when you have to grow up really fast and start taking responsibility for your education and ultimately your future. I regret not staying in state for my first year of college, thats what I've gotten so far out of my college experience.

What i have gotten out of my college experience is the feeling of independacy and hands on learning. I feel good that i made it this far to be able to get into college because i have had so many obstacles trying to stop me from getting ahead and i just pushed through without giving up. Me being the first one in my family to attend college is a dream that has come true. I feel as though it was not only my dream but as well as my mothers dream. God rest her soul but i am going further and further to make her more and more proud of me as she looks down at her 1st child setting an example for my younger siblings. College is tough but its worth it because my award at the end is to recieve my degree and have the career in the feild that i am passionate about and that i enjoy doing. I mean, who doesnt enjoy meeting new people and making people feel better and handle situations. The main reason why i want this career is because i know i have been through so much and i can help someone.

I got a degree out of my college experience and it was valuable to attend because I am able to help other students and children through academia.

My college experience was absolutely rewarding, Not only did I have the opportunity to enhance my knowledge of Psychology and Education, I was able to also experience professors who went above and beyond to assure that their students learned and were productive in their respective fields. Internships and student teaching opportunities were also a valuable part of my college experience.

Immediately after graduating highschool, I attended a university to pursue a bachelor's degree in nursing. I completed all of my prerequisities and unfortunately, i was not accepted. I then proceeded to retake some courses to raise my GPA. As a result, i still did not get in. An advisor suggested a technical college in the area offering an LPN program. It was not my original plan in mind but i figured i'd give it a shot. 16 months later, i am now graduating with a greater knowlegde of nursing than i had ever had before -- I even got accepted into another accredited college to pursue my associates' degree in nursing to become a registered nurse, like originally anticipated. This is experience has taught me that if one continues to fall, he or she can always revive themselves with determination and hardwork. Even though i applied twice to a previous university and did not get in, I refused for that to be the determining factor for my future.
