I have gotten a lot out of my college experience because I was able to gain a wonderful foundation for my education. I was also able to meet a lot of people who have become my friends for life. I have learned so many things and will continue to as well. I have made so many great relationships with professors and have been helped academically but also in a manner where I have learned a lot from them character-wise.

There will be times when I would rather go to a party as opposed to either working or studying, but it is a choice that one has to make for themselves. College is not entirely about the parties and the social aspect. Instead it revolves around the knowledge that one gets from being in an intellectual environment that you pay to be a part of. College may not be for everyone, but it is a choice that one must make to determine the kind of career you wish to be a part of in the future.

you must work really hard academically and financially to make it through college

I have gotten that you really have to work hard to exceed the expectations at medgar evers, and its alwasy good to be nice to your professores even if they arent. My exprience wasnt a bad one but it also wasnt so good either. I wish that i could go back and transfer as soon as possible when my gpa was good. I have heard it before from other students at medar and now i am seeing it for myself that you stay longer then expected and their really isnt anyone to help you with registration. In some odd way my experience has been valuable because when i do get out of medgar and transfer, I will know what to do and what not to do when it comes to school. I just need an opportunity to show not only my parents and friends but make me belive that i can do something worth something.

The college experience that I had gained during my time at Pittsburgh Technical Institute has been extremely valuable during my everyday life. Managing money, learning new pieces of technology, and beng able to work with new people with different opinions and views were just a few of the experiences that I had gone through each year. While I had already gone into each class willing to work with others I realized that not only am I learning from the teachers but from my classmates as well. In and out of the classroom my fellow students were helping me pick up new computer languages to program in and also how to utilize those languages alongside with any new pieces of information I had learned in class. In the workplace I am more confident now to talk to customers, employees, and my bosses about any ideas of how to improve workflow for the company. The constant exposure to new pieces of technology and the freedom to use the computer lab always had me driving to take time out of my day to continue learning things that were optional. All of these experiences have improved my life and it always will.

I am a high schooler taking advantage of Washingtons State's Running Start Program. I will be earning an A.A. Degree this June. I have learned alongside students of all ages and backgrounds. I decided to participate in this program because I do best surrounded by people who care about learning and who want to achieve their goals. However, I was surprised by the diversity of peoples' opinions on what hard work meant. As I had expected, most high school students were there only to get out of high school. However, I hadn't anticipated the lack of enthusiasm from the older students. I understand that the end goal is to have a degree for an advantage over the other prospective competition in the work force. However, I believe in fully enjoying and taking advantage of every situation. Despite my initial disappointment, I was able to realize that I am not required to share their views. This experience has taught me self-reliance and strenghtened my independence. I am now more open-minded to others' situations, virtually nothing is black and white. There are reasons why people act a certain way which has taught me to be less judgemental.
