I have gotten many great things out of my college experience so far. My studying habits have made a tremendous turn around for one. also, i've learned some helpful, life changing things while attending my school. In addition, I believe that I met some life-long friends at school. being at school broke me out of my shell; i used to keep to myself and never share what is on my mind but class discussions assissted with that and for that I am honestly thankful because I will need that for the real world later on. Lastly, my paper writing skills have improved.

college experiences should be one to rememeber and not many people tend to enjoy it. one should enjoy their college experience as well as focus on school and their course work. FIU has taught me to balance school with my everyday life. i have been able to enjoy college, work and keep my grades up in classes. i am a nursing major and have been able to work and focus on my lessons in class. school can be fun for those who look at the best sides of college and make the best of it.

Through my college experience I learned to be more organized and punctual. Being on time and is very important, not only for school but for life in general. As I enter my career I know that I can handle the responsibility if appearing on time. I also learned to be more social and accept diversity. As I child most of the people I grew up with were just like me, however, attending Florida International University introduced me to diversity and I learned to appreciate it. My college friends are from all around the world and it?s amazing what we learn from each other.

My college experience has taught me that hard work and determination are the key to achieving my goals. I have learned that success can be measured in many different ways, and that true success is often taken for granted. It is here that I have uncovered the secrets of life, love, and everything in between. I have learned that freedom , like breathing, is a neccessity and should not be seen as a priviledge. It is because of my college experience that I choose not to give up at the first sign of a struggle. I now have the ability to accept that things can often go wrong, and have the courage to push through the chaos, coming out the other side unharmed. I found out who I truly am, after being lost for so long. No longer am I without breath or without a voice. My college experience has been more than a few memories on a 4 x8. When I leave here, I'll know that nothing I've accomplished has been in vain. I now know how to be me, no inhibitions or restraints.

For many ?extenuating circumstances? in life are unbearable to recount or remember, however, I consider mine an inspiring journey to professional success rather than a moral personal neglect. Right after my family?s dismal of their business in our native country Venezuela, I realized that we (my siblings and I) were our parent?s only hope for a better future in this beautiful country. Luckily, our parents were able sustain our studies at the beginning of our college careers however that soon changed since we had to find full time jobs some of them at night hours to supply with the minimum to live and study. Being exposed to such inopportune events made us grow as individuals and strength our family spirit until this day and for many more to come. Despite of it all, I think that current economic situation provided us with a positive perspective of were we stand as individuals and where we picture ourselves in nearby future. Opening up reasoning and tentative solutions to the fairly recent conscious of our living environment which is the main reason I recently decided to professionally enhance my career for the future sustainable challenges ahead of us.

College has changed me. I was always book-smart, but after leaving high school I was shy, introverted, uncertain, and confused about my life. Even after many years, I still felt the same way. Luckily I pushed myself to go to college and in return I have gained character, confidence, and courage.
First, college has given me strength of character. I never knew who I was, but college has afforded me an opportunity to get to know myself. I now have a strong sense of self, morals, and what I believe in.
Second, I have received a bounty of cofidence from college. I never really believed in myself before, but I have gained self-assurance and a determination to succeed. I feel like nothing can keep me down.
Third, courage has been instilled in me from my college experience. I had a fear of my future and what it held for me, but college has given me a boldness and bravery I never before had.
I would not trade my college experience for anything. It has given me character, confidence, and courage. It has molded me. It has made me the woman I am proud to say I am today.

I have gained the knowledge how important education is in your life. It enables you to have confidence in accomplishing your goals, it can help you to become self sufficient by finding a rewarding career. The most important lesson is to not be afraid of failure and to keep following your goals inspite of what other people might say.

Florida International University has opened up my eyes to the importance of establishing unity amongst its students to achieve goals. I have gained not only a competetive degree from this University but the experience of emerging myself into an extremely diverse student body. There simply is no better University to attend if you are looking for a strong academic platform coupled with an even stronger social environment.
