Eastern Michigan University Top Questions

I have gotten the experience of being on my own. Learning in the college setting and taking my education to the next level.

I love cars. I love the puzzle factor and working with my hands as well as using my brain to solve the problems that come with diagnosing and then correcting the problem. At Wyotech I get to maximize my learning, both tactile and theory. One day in the shop, next day in class. It is perfect for me. The classes are small, the teachers well versed in their field and the technology up to date. It is a great learning enviroment and they provide great equipment and lots of information. Though I am 42 years old, I dont feel like I started this journey too late. Everyday is something new. Everyday I get closer to my goal of becoming an Automotive technician and a better life for my wife and I. Knowledge is power. Education is key to getting that knowledge. Wyotech is the vehicle that will transport me into the next generation of Automotive workmanship and technical abilities, that will give my brain the power to exercise its potential. Life is what you make it. Attitude is everything. I will succeed. I will be the man I see myself as. I will make my world a better place.

It's a very important thing to be able to find what you want and go after it that's what life is all about. College is not for everyone and everyone who goes is not a success but for most college is a very important step in your life. With the United States in the turmoil that it's in right now there is no easy fix which means it's not going to happen fast and we need a plan. College is a way to prepare ourselves for the future and give ourselves the tools for the new world, we need to bring America back to the top. For the generation coming it's coming time for us to take over and bring America back to where this great country needs to be. That's not going to happen as easy, in the past there where good paying jobs where you just had to rely on just good old-fashined hard work. That's not the case anymore there are not alot of good paying jobs that don't require some type of college and we as a people need to adapt.

What I will continue to get out of my college experience is getting to know new people and learning how to function on my own as an adult to help prepare my future out into the real world. Just being able to get the oppurtunity to finish my education even further just helps me realize even more that I can achieve anything I allow myself to pursue. The thought of making my parents proud by being the first child to graduate drives my determination to the edge and inspires me to live my dream and make them become a reality. Me earning money is very important, I don't want to have to stop my education just because i don't have enough money to attend. I'm the oldest of six kids along with my twin brother so money is tight and my parents cannot afford it. So in order to go to school I must help myself by applying for as many scholarships as possible.

In my community, attending college has always been the norm so I did not hesitate to go through the process myself. I have discovered that this was the best decision I have ever made. Not only does college prepare students for a career, it also provides valuable life experience. I am an education student pursuing a degree in elementary education. Upon entering the College of Education I have learned so much about the field already. I can have a professional conversation with my professors, classmates, and current teachers. This was a change I did not realize was happening right away. I have acquired hands on experience in classrooms through my classes and found many ways to volunteer and attend professional development opportunities. I already feel prepared to enter my own classroom one day. The secondary part of college is the experiences one receives there. Moving away and living on my own was a huge change. I developed life skills needed to succeed and social skills and experiences that have enriched my life. being on my own, I was also able to formulate my identity without home influences such as my political views. College is an unique experience everyone should have.

So far I have gotten to know many of my peers and professors. Meeting people, and becomming an active member of the student body is very important to me. I am the Vice-President of the Leadership Advisor Board, and the Primary-Treasurer of the Robotics Organization.

College has a lot to offer, and the most I have gotten out of college is the opportunity to make lifelong friends. The people I have met so far are my lifelong friends. I even got the opportunity to join a sorority and have sisters and brothers. This is a great experience because I don’t know what it is like to have any siblings, and being in college gave me the option to do so. College has enabled me to meet new people that I will stay close to forever. It has also helped me make connections with people who have connections to good jobs. So my college experience has brought to me friends, family, networking, and fun.

My college experience is so great because of the new people I have met, the thing learn in the classroom I will use it in the real world

The wonderful teachers have increased my already intense passion for secondary education with their wonderful lectures and caring attitudes. I can't wait to have my own classroom full of students to inspire.

Through my college experience, I have realized the value of networking. It is extremely important to make new friends during this time because they can help you in countless ways in the present and/or the future. These are the people you will know for the rest of your lives so it is important to choose wisely.
