Delaware State University Top Questions

Attending Delaware State University taught me the value of hard work, persistence and courage Since receiving my Bachelors degree, I have continued to a Master's, Specialist's and soon the Doctorate will be finished. It is my desire to continue to strive to achieve, with the hope that one day, the knowledge I have gained, can be passed on to someone else who needs a guiding hand to get them through.

I learned alot of new things and met new people that are caring as well as helpful, so I feel that mays my college experience a good ne. I also enjoy doing the extra curricular activities that I do, so that just adds to my good experience.

One thing that I've gotten out of this experience is meeting new people. The people at this university are very friendly and are eager to help you, and I really appreciated that. Another thing is the people at this university have strong opinions about certain things and they will defend thier beliefs. It's nice to see people stand up for what they believe in, to me it means you have a voice and you are somebody. One other thing is I'm closer to perfecting my time managment. When I first attended this university, I thought I knew how to manage my time but I was wrong. Getting through my first semester has tought me to manage my time and now thats exactly what I'm doing. Going through this college experience has been so valuable to attend in many ways. For one, I'm learning so much about my major and I love the fact that I can apply my knowlegde and educate others. Another thing is that I believe I'm so close to finding out who I am. Thats been one of my goals and each day at the university, I get one step closer!

Now that I've had the opportunity to experience the "college life", I would say it is a lot different from what I expected. knowing the information that I know now and if I could go back to High school, I would tell myself to stay focus and study hard. Each class in college requires you to study each day and in high school, I wasn't that good at studying. I would also tell myself to work harder at trying to find scholarships and grants. There are so many tempting people and activities, so I would tell myself to be self disciplined and know whats more important.

If i could go back in time and give advice to myself i would say to stay focused. The college enviornment is much different than in high school. The fact that i will be by myself, with no parents to tell me what to do, I have to take responsibilty and do what has to be done. Also, that work comes before play, since there are so many activities and people on campus it will be easy to get off track and forget about your studies. So i would tell myself to make sure to do homework and study before hanging out.

College life is what you make. i you expect to party and hang out with friends you won't servive. Now, if you complete your work and study over the material you'll do fine. now Do you work? Look at college a a fulltime job. If you go to class for 5 hours a day, When you return to your residence you have 3 more hours of work to do. Finally don't surround yourself around negative individuals. If you know they can't benifit you in anyway seperate your self.

College is all about time management. There is a time to party and a time to work. Make sure you know how to separate the two because education comes first. As long as you are organized focused and have a efficient time management strategy you will succeed. If you think positive, positive results will show. Also, do not be afraid to go to tutoring sessions if you need help. It is good to ask questions. Knowledge is power.

The First bit of advice i would give myself as a highschool student would be to pick a university based on the amount of help that they can apply. The reason being is that my fresman year i struggled in organizing my work and putting forth the neccesary space between asignmets to allow me to complete them to the best of my capabilities. At the university that i was at there was not alot of help or guidance on how to better plan out my school work, I basically had to learn on my own. Another bit of advice that i would provide to myself is location. Comming out of highschool i had my mind set on moving as far away as I could from my home. I believe if i had stayed closer to home there would have been alot less distractions and more focus on completing my education. The last piece of advice I would give myself is to eliminate all procrastination . I beleive procrastination is a colleage student biggest foe when completing assignments i learned over the years that assignmets are easier to complete when infomation from class is still relevant in your head.

The advice i would give my self would be to take more AP course because when u attend college you can get credit from a AP class that you took in college and by you taking the classes you can be a head of the other students if you credits transfer to the university that you are atending. The other adivce i would give is to make sure that you financial aid is completed early because they will offer you more money if you apply early.

With all the struggles of today?s youth I sometimes wonder why if anyone expects us to succeed as a generation. So many issues in our surrounding society almost disable us to progress as a generation. Issues such as: lack of education, teen pregnancy, and lack of empowerment from our superiors cripples us emotionally and mentally. With these keys issues depressing our youth one could find hope for a brighter future almost unseen. Many wonder who will be our future doctors, teachers, lawyers, and even convicts of the future. More negative than positive many adults of today see today?s youth as the reason why today?s crime rate is so high. If asked one might hear that the youth of today is more corrupt than empowered. My question to those who believe in such a theory is??Why? Why are we so corrupted and looked upon with such doubt? Why aren?t we instilled with more opportunities to better us rather than oppress us into inclined failure?
