I have learned about my learning style. I learned that I am a kinesthetic learner, so now I know not to take to many lecture classes at one time. By attending college I am building my resume and preparing myself for a good job when I graduate from college.

College is such a valuable experience to me because it is giving me so many opportunities and such a positive future. I plan to become a nurse because I love helping others no matter what the task. Attending college has given me the opportunity of a lifetime and the ability to fulfill my life long goals.
My college experience has caused me to grow up and become more independent in a positive way. I am able to perform duties everyday that I always relied on my parents to do while I was in high school. I love being more independent and I appreciate other individuals treating me as an adult. College has been the best decision of my life and I cannot wait to see what the future brings.

I have gotten a lot out of my college experience so far. I have met a lot of different people and learned a lot about the world around me. I am a Psychology major with a minor in Child and Family Development. I plan to be a Marriager and Family Therapist but until then I enjoy taking my Psych classes and taking the steps up the ladder that is my future. Upward and onward!

MY COLLEGE EXPERIENCE THUS FAR HAS TAUGHT ME TO STAND ON MY OWN WITHOUT ALWAYS RELYING ON MY PARENTS TO DO EVERYTHING FOR ME. BEING AWAY FROM HOME HAS GIVEN ME A GREAT SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE AND A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT BEING AN ADULT IS ABOUT.

I have learned so much from attending Georgia Southern. I feel as though it has opened my eyes to many different ideas I would have otherwise never known. Everyday I learn something new. I also find that the people I interact with here are very intelligent and have a lot to say. College is important not only to become brighter, but to experience the world in a different light. I am leaps and bounds from where I was when I graduated, and I wouldn't trade a minute of my college experience so far!

I have learned many things during my college experience so far. I have learned to become independant as well as financially independant. I have learned the value of paying for school. Even though it took me a while to figure out, I finally know what I want to do as a career choice once I graduate.

I majored in English because literature and the English language are two things I'm passionate about. College, to me, was more about self discovery and gaining human insight, but if it helped me gain a career in the process, awesome. I wouldn't take back the experience for anything.
Radhika
I've have gotten the value of being able to set deadlines for certain things, like homework, and being able to focus on homework a lot and work hard on every part of it. And if I need help, to ask for it. I've learned the value of studying hard to be able to get things right. I've gotten many new and awesome friends out of the college experience as well, which is also valuable too.

My college experience thus far has been absolutely amazing. I have enjoyed every aspect of my college career from the beautiful campus to the many extracurricular activities. The landscape of the campus is what I was most attracted to about this school and experiencing it first hand has been so much more enjoyeable than I ever imagined. The extracurricular activities have brought me much closer to the campus life than I thought it would with the intramural sports as well as the on campus activities. If the campus life was not good enough for my college experience, the classes and professors would be. I am only a sophomore, but I have already had some amazing teachers that have led me to the career path that I wish to pursue. I have learned first hand from some professionals in the fields that interest me. This experience has been so much more than I ever expected, and keeps impressing me every day. The affect that it has had on me will stay with me throughout the rest of my life. In simple terms, I will always be a Georgia Southern Eagle.

Growing up was hard. I come from a family with divorced parents, and being the youngest of four children didn't leave a whole lot of money left for my education. But that's ok; I'm doing it on my own. I have always been a self motivated person. I problem solve. I work hard. I study to earn my grades. Attending Oakland Community College has given me the opportunity to save money. It has provided me with smaller class sizes, and knowledgeable teachers. It means that sure, my complete college experience has been delayed, but it also means I will be able to attend the university of my dreams in just two short years. When I transfer I will continue with my educational excellence and I will know that because of my college choice, I will be all the more successful in life. Money is everything in this economy. Saving it by making smarter choices, and earning it by putting yourself out there. So please; this would mean the world to me.
