Doane University-Arts & Sciences Top Questions

If I could go back in time and talk to my high school self I would first start with by saying STOP PROCRASTINATING! I would also add that dorm life is different then living at home. It is completely different and to take one day at a time the stress over comes and will be hard but not to panic. Just take a deep breath and find a calm happy place that you can relax. Another thing is make time to enjoy the activites on campus stop being lazy and boring. Get active, stay involved make more friends and stay away from the boys they are nothing but a distraction. You can hang with them but first make sure you have your work done first. Most of all I would tell myself to enjoy the opportunties put infront of me in the furture.

If i had to go back and tell my self what to do I would for one tell them not to be so stressed out evrything will fall into place. I would let myself know that school is more important than going out and hanging with friends. Although you play baseball and get stressed out sometimes becaue you have no free time, look for advice and find ways to manage your time.

If I were to be able to talk to myself back in high school, I would preach that it is important to take advantage of the free time I had. I would explain to myself that it's very important to put in the time and effort to get outstanding grades in highschool. That will open many doors for the future with college and bring many opportunities with scholarships and my acceptance rate to colleges. The time passes you by whether you're doing something or not. So I would suggest to work harder in class and get a stellar gpa. Experiencing college as an athlete I have saved some money with atheltic scholarships, but I know I could have saved a lot more money if I had better grades and test scores. I do my best to explain this to my sister, she's in highschool right now. Unfortunately, highschool students just do not understand. So my advice to myself back in highschool would be to take advantage of the time I had to get better grades. I would explain to myself that what you do in highschool is an investment in your future. Take advantage of your time.

Make sure to set aside time for your family. Transitioning into an environment where you are loaded down by loads of work and studying can tend to make you irritable and that can also make you pull away from your family. It's important to make time for them, they are the best support system you could ever have and there's nothing more helpful than a really good support system. They won't let you starve yourself to finish a term paper or make yourself sick with worry over your grades. Family keeps you sane when it seems like there's nothing you want more than to commit yourself to "the loony bin". Making time for them is like making time for calm, and it's one of the best decisions you can make while transitioning from having to raise your hand to use the restroom to having to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life.

I would tell myself that hands on is not always the best path. That I am smarter than I think that I am, and am certainly capable of excelling at many things, and that just because I love video production now, doesn't mean that it's going to be successful for me in the future, and that a degree in something more practical is better.

If it was ever possible to turn the clock back, and visit my younger self, before he, or rather me, would step forth into the dawn of the college student, I would warn myself to be more concerned with my scholarships. Currently, because of the predicament I am in, I have lost one of my scholarships, and now must await harsh judgment by my parents, then the atrociously large payment that I must fulfill. Sadly, it wasn’t due to a low grade point average, I am above getting anything lower than a B, but rather my incompetence for not recalling to renew my scholarship. Due to my own arrogance for believing that I can complete my college work with only two scholarships, I have found myself in a bind. I truly do wish to go back in time to warn myself to renew my scholarship and to be less of an arrogant mule, just so I wouldn’t be embarrassed and upset with myself today.

One thing I wish I knew in high school was the true fragility of the friendships I had created in my teenage years. Going to college is an unbelievably exciting and frightening time of one's life, but one of the ways we all survive is with the support and care of the circle of people with which we surround ourselves. Those friends who had always been there for me slowly began to fade from my inner circle and, eventually, that's all they were, a distant, faded memory. To my high school self I would say, "You may not see it now, but one day you're going to regret not going to that movie, seeing that play, going on that roadtrip; don't let those that supported you, loved you and saw you at your worst slip through the cracks of your new life with your new college experiences and friends. But also, don't be afraid to let go. Don't be afraid to see yourself as someone different, someone new. College is about growing as a person. Remember to appreciate those who want you in their lives and want to be in yours."

Hi, me from the past, listen, don't ride on the excuse that you don't know what you want to do with your life and spend time idling and knocking out a couple core classes here or there. Instead, do everything. Take a wide array of classes and learn as widely as you can about the world. It's ok to have credits all over the place, this is a process of elimination for you and pretty much the only way you find out what you really want to do. Spoiler alert: turns out you really like physics... but you won't know why that is unless you do the wide array of classes thing. So don't idle! Get serious with school and learning in general! And especially do not take whole semesters off just to work and have fun. What is left of your youth is shorter than you think. Get busy with your bucket list.

I would tell Levi to study alittle harder on the math portion of school, and take advantage of all of the collage prep classes offered in High School. Be very active in high school and make friends at the different events that you go to because you will meet them again at collage. When your parents tell you to study and bring up your grades you really should and always ask your teacher if you do not understand what is going on because if you do not ask now you will not ask in collage and they don't ask you if you are understanding the material.

It is best known for the small campus feel that draws many to small towns. You can't get the friendly people and close friends at large universities like you can at smaller private colleges. It doesn't match up at all. There are many benefits such as decreased walking distances, the meeting of many people and the development of many new friendships and the development of study habits. The best part about Doane is the feeling that the instructors care about your education and want you to succeed in college and also be a successful person in the future.It is best known for the small campus feel that draws many to small towns.

I have gained a lot of knowledge from my professors, not just what they were teaching us, but some small life lessons that have helped me.

I have been attending my Dental assistant program now for about two weeks, at first I wasn't sure I was going to be able to go through this being that i'm a young married, mother of three and finacially not stable but after thinking it through decided to go through with it and happy I decided to do so. I want to be an inspiration to my kids and many others so they can know that nothing is inpossible as hard as it may be. My experience so far at ultimate medical has been amazing I've learned so much in these two weeks, who would of thought I would be learning about de vinci in dental school I can't image how much more I will learn in the months to come but so excited to do so. I've been out of school now for nine months and thought it would be hard for me to adjust to things but you can't imagine how everything just comes back naturally. I can't wait till the day my family can watch me walk down the aile the day of graduation.

The most important thing i have gotten out of Doane is Life-time friendships and invaluable connections for my future.

I attended Gaetan Raynal State College which is a national high school on the island of Mauritius. My island is located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of South Africa. From my high school experience, I have learned the value of education, and choosing good friends, and doing extra curriculum activities. I know that the more educated one is, the better off one is. More opportunities are available and the sky is the limit for educated individuals. As teen choosing good friends who share the same values in life and understand the value of education help me to stay on the right track. Gaetan Raynal State College has been valuable to attend because as a student, I was not only taught about academics, but also was taught life lessons like friendships, self discipline, setting goals and achieving them, leadership and team work. The teachers are friendly and have a sincere interest in their students' academic success. The school has prepared me to go forward in life and progress to the next step in my life and academic pursuits.

Through my college experience, I have been able to broaden my views on life. Before coming to college, I accepted my parents religion and morals as my own, but since coming to college, I have been able to make my own choices as to what I believe is right. This has been the biggest change in my life. During my time in college, I have met people from many areas of life; rich, poor, east-coast, west-coast, and it has been exciting to realize that often, we really aren't all that different. Our experiences may have varied, but if you get the time to know the people around you, you can be pleasantly surprised.

I attend the Word of Life Bible Institute and this school has been very valuable for my life becuase of the life change I have gone though with the help of the staff and faculty. Here the motto is "One year will change your life" and it is so true becuase of the power of the Bible and it's emphasis on how I am to live my life for God. This college and it's focus to spend as much time as possible in the Bible changes your outlook on life from one of a depraved mind to that of a mind that is focused on doing everything we do for God. The atmosphere here is catchable, almost like a disease. As a small campus, we focus on unity and doing things for the betterment of the other students.

What I have gotton out of my college experience so far is getting a taste of what real life will be in the years to come. By applying what I have learned in my future is is gonna determine how my future plays out for me. It has given me my base knowledge to survive in a career that I am very much interested in. Another thing that I feel I have gotten out of my college experience is how to communicate with others. When first coming to the school I knew no one, not a single person. By going out and talking to people I found it easier for me to make new friends. Not only friends bur also good relationships among staff and faculty members. It really gets you prepared for the real world. It has been valuable for me to attend because if I hadn't, I would have not gotten such a great education. Being the top rated school in Nebraska, the one on one education has definatly helped me get a more well rounded education.
