Although your performance in high school proved your inteligence and dilgent work ethic to be sucessful, you must work even harder in college. Don't get discouraged by the academic challenge it is doable! Learn how to manage your time, accept the challenge even if you dont succed the first try.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself that time cannot be bought. The time that I have at the moment is so important to the point where it could lead me to the decisions that may benefit my family and myself. The fact that I did't push myself to the furthest is already regretable. To think that I could have done so much better if I studied and put every effort to getting higher achievements reminds me how lazy I was throughout high school, and I want this as a lesson I like to learn from. Don't say that you will do what needs to be done and do a half-job effort.

Most importantly believe in yourself and know when to ask for help when you are lost. There are helps out there in the world where somebody would love to help you in your needs. Keep those who help close to you because they are the few who in life will guide you in right paths.

If I could go back and have a conversation with the 17 year old me I would first tell that young woman to relax. When I was trying to figure out college plans all I did was stress. I used to think that I needed to have it all figured out right then or else I would fail miserably. The truth is though, even through my excessive planning and researching I still ended up at the wrong school for me and you know what? That is ok. I learned from it. If I could tell the younger me the truth about life it would be that it is not our successes through which we really find our strength and joy, but through our failures and how we bring ourselves back from them. My first college was all wrong for me and at the time it put me into a real low point in my life because I just was not happy, but when I picked myself up and found a new school I have never been so proud of myself. I took a bad situation and out if it found true joy and there is no greater success than that.

keep your head in the books and take to heart what the professors have to say. Also ask questions in class, the professors will help, they are there to teach, its their job. You can have a little fun but make sure not to procrastinate, because once you get behind it is hard to catch up. Stay focused and on target with your goals. Don't let one bad grade get you down. If it seems overwhelming at times go and talk to the proffesor about your issues, they are willing to work with your course work and scheduled exams. finally remember that Clemson University students and faculty are one family. they are willing to help if you ask.

Attending Clemson was one of the greatest periods in my life. Not only did I get a valuable degree, I gained lifelong friends and priceless experiences. Being accepted to one of the top public universitites in the country was a dream come true and it lived up to my every expectation. I was challenged academically; the teachers at Clemson are passionate and expect the same passion from their students. Clemson provides learning opporunities outside the classroom with school-sponsored trips, study abroad, and guest lecturers. The opportunity to spend a semester in Spain changed my life in countless ways and taught me the value of learning from my peers and environment. My peers became invaluable friends who accompanied me to all the sporting events, concerts, etc. that Clemson has to offer. "The Clemson Family" is something that is mentioned from your first day on campus and in the subsequent years you truly learn what that means. Just by walking around campus you can feel the pride that every student has in their University, their home. I have since moved on to start my career, but not a day goes by that I don't think about Clemson University, my home.

My college experience has taught me time management, personal motivation, and hard work. Those are very valuable skill in college, without these traits, the brightest of people don't make it through college. College is valuable to attend because I know how much farther it can take me in life. I know that at the end of this experience will i only get a degree but I will acquire valuable character traits that will be helpful in life.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience so far. I took a giant leap and chose a school in South Carolina when almost all of my friends and everyone I know chose schools in Connecticut or up North. I picked Clemson, a school where I knew no one, and was ready to start my journey all on my own. I was met with an extremely welcoming but different culture and environment which I had to adapt to. I was up to the challenge and quickly dived in to the new culture meeting many new types of people and having lots of new experiences. I joined a sorority and experienced the extremely different greek life and all of the additudes and beliefs that many of the people in the South shared. I have gained valuable knowledge from the school, my new found friends, and the different adventures that I have been on in my time at the college. I have learned how to adapt to new environments and situations and how to be independent since I really only had myself to rely, only going home for Christmas. So far my experience at Clemson has been amazing and invaluable.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience. I have gained professional development through opportunities to teach with professors to mentoring young children. This experience has truly shaped my life and helped me to really see that education is the field I want to pursue. It has been valuable to attend college because once I graduate, I will be able to achieve so much more as opposed to just having a high school degree. I will be able to help underrepresented students to achieve higher levels. I will be able to make a difference in the life of many students and challenge my students to be the best that he or she can be.

I have very quickly learned more than i could imagine. I have also grown up more this semester than ever in high school. I feel like college at Clemson is difficult, but life changing and beneficial.

I have recieved many things from my college experience. One main thing i've gotten out of my college experience is how to manage time. Not only that but I've learned how to budget my finances better and i also became more independent and responsible with decisions withing life.

The most valuable thing i have taken from my experience in college is a more clear view of the person I would like to be in the future. I came to North Shore Community College knowing only that I had no idea what direction I wanted to take my life in. This college has helped me recognize the possibilities, and at the same time, decide on which course to continue. Every semester points me in a new direction on this course and I know that at the end, I will be successful.

Since I have now completed my first semester of Northshore Community College during the Fall of 2010 and have graduated high school the previous June, I have gotten a few things out of college. I first learned that you learn more about yourself and what you want to do once having exposed yourself to different classes and subjects. Though I only take 2 classes per semester, after I took Composition and Elementary Algebra I learned that college can be both fun and difficult. I also learned that college is not for everyone. Though I go part time and take two classes, I still spent many hours completing the coursework and was amazed at the difficulty level(from someone who did well in high school). What's also an important experience I got out of attending community college was that it has given me the chance to learn new things and take much more interesting courses than I ever would have gotten the chance to in high school. Furthermore, the priceless education I have recieved and will continue to receive is down the street from where i live and affordable.

My first year of college has taught me that college takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Attending daily is valuable to recieve all the crucial information that is needed to succeed.

As a college student i've learned to be more independant. Although some of my experiences have been not that pleasent i've learned a tremedous amount about time management and helped me to better take care of my personnel affairs such as taking out loans and knowing how to calculate things on my own. i value my knowledge and i wouldn't want it any other way.

Coming to a place like Berkeley, you learn so much more than knowledge that one can achieve through reading a mere book, I have seen the many facets of diversity that our society holds, from the variety cultues we have to the various types of individuals you can come across. After a year and a half, I feel as if I have grown up more than my entire life prior to college combined. As you grow up, you see things that you don't see as a child, and good versus evil becomes solifidied and your naive eyes fade away. At Cal I have be taught by world reknown professors and I have a limitless future ahead of me after college because of my experience here, and I see that. My knowledge is beyond that of words written on paper, and I know that going to a place like Berkeley, has wholeheartedly contributed to that factor.

I grew up right outside of Columbia, SC. Columbia is a fairly large city where it is always easy to find something to do. When i was accepted to Clemson, I was wary of the "small town" feel to it. I was used to driving through stop lights and large buildings on either side of me. But when i came to Clemson it was the complete opposite. Just across from my appartment are fields...... Cows live directly across from me. I have come to love the country feel of this University and wouldn't trade my experience for anything. Even though I have lots of fun at Clemson, that does not mean there have been no hardships. As with all colleges, Clemson has a daunting academic prestige. Finding the perfect balance between school and play is essential to success in college. I guarantee anyone will have the best four years of their life if they can attain this balance. I would highly recommend Clemson University to anyone, especially if you are someone who was not raised in a "small country town" like i was.

So far, I have have been more exposed to the real world and how it's like living independently. Now a days, I see things more differently and I seem to work harder to get closer to my goals. The school has really taught me a lot of the value of hard work and the results I get for it. Even though I still have a few years left before I graduate, this school has made me into a better person than I was before. It has made me more outgoing and perspective.

The reason why I came to Clemson was because I want to become an architect. Since I have been here, I've realized how much i love my major and the importance of loving what you do. When you love what you're learning, you seek more information and you become successful. Also, I have met so many people and made really strong friendships that I know for sure will be life-long relationships. I've also learned to manage my time and to prioritize everything i do. So far, i've had such a blessed and amazing experience and even though college work is difficult, I would never trade it for the world.

I am the youngest of four in my family and I am the first to attend College. Being a Latina makes it sometimes complicated to over grow family roots and traditions. In my family most women are married and are stay at home mothers but not me. As a College student at HCC I have grown both intelectually and personaly. I have lived experieces that has help me understand my want to become a Elementary Teacher. My believe is that the practice of learning habits begins at an early age and I want to be able to teach children the skills they need to know. My goal is to become an educator to pursue a career and not just a job I truly believe that with high perseverance I will be able to meet my merit. Making the decision to attend college was at first questionable thinking how am i going to attend. I dont have the sufficent money what can I do? Having the benefit in working in a high school gave me the chance to meet with college representatives. Reading my budget HCC was a fit and I registered taking the chance of my lifetime.
