I have gotten a few things out of my college experience. I have gotten to know a few things that I am not a custom to such as failure and companionship. Another thing that i have gotten has been the ability recognize the choices that I have. Living on my own without family has giving me a quite a view on what I must do for myself without being told, asked, or forced into doing. On campus I feel like my own person and not a person under my parents. Knowing that it is only me here and that what happens here depends only on what I have to do is something that I value highly now. This gives me the view that this life is now mine and i have to do what is good for me without worring about bad influences. This college has given me a challenge to test myself and succeed and I value that more then anything.

Overall my college experience has been challenging but also educating in various aspect of my life.

In my college experience these past three and a half years, I have received many things. From personal to educational experiences and oppurtunities, I am truly grateful for my experience. On a personal and social level, I have come to learn who I am as a person and what kind of people I tend to associate myself with. I have an incredible network of friends and associates in whom I've bonded and learned several things from and vice versa. On a educational level, I have received an excellent education and have learned so much. I was even able to participate in a Study Abroad oppurtunity in Spain, a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. It has been valuable to attend FSU because I come from a family where going to college is not highly stressed and is not always an option. Being able to attend college has been one of my life's best experience. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing.

College life has been one of the greatest experiences for me. I have learned that no matter what I do in life, I will be a success. What I have learned in the classroom has become an integral part of my life, it has made me into the person I am today. If I had not attended college, I would not be as objective as I am. I came to school so opinionated, so fixated that I knew what was right for everyone else. Education has allowed me to understand that I can learn so much from the other person and listening is the greatest skill to adopt. Another lesson that I have learned from my experience has been that I can choose to start my life over and be whatever I want to be. I don't have to stop dreaming of achieving my childhood dream, I can become what I have only imagined to dream. I don't have to feel limited to pursue a college degree because of my age because age doesn't define me. I am getting younger as I pursue my passion and that is why my college experience has been so valuable.

Attending college has been a trying but an rewarding experiecnce that I wouldn't take for granted. Entering college has given me a new look on myself and what I am capable of doing and becoming. College life for me was a big change being on my own and having to do things for myself as best as I could. I've realized that I can make it in this world and make right decisons bassed on my convictions. This experience has made me shead many tears and have sleepless nights but I know that it's going to work out for my good. This experience has been very valuable because I wouldn't have known of my capability and that I am able to speak up for what I believe in and feel strongly about. I know that once it's all said and done that I will be a successful business woman with a story to tell other young females. Letting them know that it may be hard at first, but as long as you pray your able to pursue anything you put your mind to and know that you are strong.

My college experience at Tallahassee Community College has provided me with great problem solving and study skills which allow me to quickly adapt to new design programs, classes, and tasks. I've become acclimated with the Computer Aided Drafting program to a point where I could teach and have taught its basic functions and skills to others along with the drafting by hand skills, math and visualization skills needed to understand and produce accurate and intelligible plans for production design. Currently in Calculus Three, I have completed all other prerequisites to enter into the engineering program at FSU and my education at T.C.C. has been very helpful and I think better than what I would have received in larger classes which don't cover the material as thoroughly as my physics professor says T.C.C.'s math and science professors do. Thus I feel the value of my attendance at T.C.C. is greater than any other opportunity given to me could have been and I am very appreciative of each teacher I have had and of their motivation and skill at conveying the subject material as well as a few life lessons.

College is a necesstiy for me because I want a good job in the future that I will not regret working hard for.
