Only being a freshman i have learned alot more about myself and my abilities in college. In high school i was not the best student and did not push myself to be better.

I have learned how to manage my time better and not get so distracted. I get my homework done earlier than an hour before class and i have found friends in my classes to do homework with. Studying together really helps me stay on track and understand the information in a different way than what i comprehended in class.

Attending DSU has been valuable to me because the classes I have taken have been challenging but beneficial.

My freshman year of college has taught me a lot because that was the year I made the most mistakes. I lost focus on the importance of being in school and ended up failing most of my classes. I then had to attend community college the next year and lost focus again because I started working and liked the thought of making fast money. I then took a semester off, and in that time I started to struggle financially and one day realized that I would never make as much as someone with a degree. From then on I realized that I was an excellent student my whole life and the key to success is hard work and patience. I enrolled in school once again and this time I will never forget my goal in life which is to be successful no matter how long it takes. I do not regret failing over the years because I feel it is a mistake in which had to learn the hard way.

I did things a little backwords in my life and gratuated from high school and had two children right away. I never imagined to go to college after this happened. It is very hard right now but I have a family to support and the only way to do this is with a college degree. I want to be a good role model for my kids to see their dad and I graduate with a degree from college. My parents never attended college and I think that is a reason why I never wanted to go to college. I don't want my kids to feel like that. I am so proud of myself that I am finally doing something that will benefit not only me but my family forever. I have finally realized now that I am doing it that there would be nothing more beneficial to do with my life .

Through my college experience, I have truely learned what it is like to live on my own and have to make my own decisions all the time. I have become a more independent person and I feel that I am ready to enter the real world now. I have also been exposed to many other cultures and students from overseas, as a result of living on campus. I have become more aware of ethnic diversity and have learned many valuable lessons about building relationships with other students.

This is probably at least the 40th scholarship I have applied for in the past two hours; zinch says this particular scholarship has over 17918 applicants as of today. I would probably even guess that what I am typing right now will never be seen by human eyes, but if it by chance does, this is what I have to say. I am aware that this was supposed to be about my college experience and how it has valued my life to attended, but how can I write about something that's not existent. The only thing I have "valued" from college is that I have to work 40 hours a week at a dead end job to make "ends meat" while also still being in debt for overpriced classes I attend along with books and gas. Also trying to keep somewhat of a social life. In conclusion this is how I feel about your question. I apologize for my audacity and blunt rambling, but I’m just really tired of never winning one of these scholarships and writing fake essays when I don't really feel that way about the topic. Thanks for your time, Clayton Rogers

I started taking college courses in my junior year of high school. At that time I felt Like I was growing up and felt a little special not many of the other students were taking college courses. I started my first year and with every class I felt a sense of accomplichment . I like the feeling of passing one course so I can get to the next level. I feel college has taught me a lot about getting what I need to get done now and not to procrastinate. I never believed my high schools teachers when they said that they were preparing us for college. Now I understand, and now high school doesn't seem as hard as I had make it to be. I believe college is preparing me for the workplace. I am not talking about retail. I have worked in retail for over ten years. I am ready for something bigger.

I grew up in a small town in Montana, which limited my social exposure. Initially coming to college 10 1/2 hours away from home and not knowing anyone, helped me grow up immensely because I had to learn things and meet people on my own. I think playing football has helped me be more outgoing as well. Since attending college, I've had opportunities to be exposed to a much broader social lifestyle due to the diversity on our campus. I've met people from all over the world, my Freshman year roommate was a young student from Jamaica. My college experience has broadened my horizons, which will help me pursue my dreams in the business field. Without a college education, it would be very difficult to find a job and live the life I've become accustomed to.
