From my college experience I have gotten a whole new sense of responsibility. I attented a small private highschool and the teachers kind of sheltered us a little. After my first semester in college I realized that I was on my own and it was up to me to build my future. It has been valuable to attend because I want to do something with my life besides live it. I want to build a career and make something of myself so that in the future I can provide for my family and have my children be proud of me. I want to be an example and show people that college is necessary.

I am going into college this fall, but i intend to have a great time. Considering I am majoring in my passion film/tv production, I am excited by the information I can learn from my professors. I am also excited because I will be able to apply what I learn in the classroom and actually do projects on my own. I am anticipating the fast paced environment of college and hope that I make the best out of the experience.

College changed me in many ways. College first made realize that I should have valued my education more while in high school. College made me regret treating high school like it was some type of game. I graduated high school with a 3.8 Gpa upon entering college. Even with my 3.8 gpa college made me feel like the weakest link. I then realized that I should have valued education and read more rather than sit around on the computer all day no cherishing my free education. College taught me values, it changed my way of thinking in all possible ways. I just wish that I would have gotten my reality check before entering college.

I have obtained such an abundance of knowledge throughout my college career. College has been valuable to attend because I now know that my future is solely dependent on my educational background. Dealing with the certain given economic situations, I have been struggling just to survive. My mom has just got done filing for bankruptcy, I live with seven other family members, we all have to leave soon because none of us can afford this house, I have no idea where we are going to live, and only one of us is employed. I am definitely NOT the type of person who just sits around and waits for things he wants to come to him. That's why I know how important it is to attend college - because if you don't think about your future, there won't be one. I want to be financially stable (unlike certain family members) and seeing all of us struggle only intensifies my feelings to succeed. I will be graduating from a community college next spring. I will have received an AA in Business and one in Social Sciences. My goal is to attend a four-year to major in Business Administration.

I've learned so much things after my first year in college. Sometimes it is really about who you know, and not what you know. I learned that I need to study harder to make better grades, and I've learned that everyone is not your friend. Iv'e also learned that the friends you do make in college can become your best pals in the future. Networking is also essential when trying to survive in college, and try to get all the help you need. Try to make sure your teachers know you and not just your face. I also think it is better to have a job on campus; eventually your employer will be the one to give you a reccomendation letter for better and brighter things. I also learned that you and your roommate might not be the best of friends, but you have to make the best of things. Going to college is a big transition in my life; its exhilirating. I have to take advantage of every single opportunity that has been given to me, and I know that this new knowledge that I learn here will carry me to many different places in life.

Going from a high school student to a college a student was a tremendous adjustment for me. I was use to teachers reminding me that my paper was due, asking me if I understood the lesson that was being taught, and asking me why I did I not turn in last night's homework; college however is the complete oppostie. From my college experience I have gained more responsiblilties and maturity. As a student in college, you are responsible for registering for your classes for the semester,being aware of due dates for class, studying for upcoming test, and making sure you speak up when you need help. The professors do not hold your hand through this journey, passing the course is your responsiblity. Attending college has been valuable to me because it is teaching me as a young adult how to adapt in the world and preparing me for my future career. My vocabulary has been enhanced and I learned how to manage my time more wisely. Most of my weekends were spent in the local mall, but when I enrolled in college my research paper and math test took over.

College experience has been valubale to attend because ,it was the next big step in my success in becoming a RN. From walking across the stage graduating from high school I knew in my heart college was the best option that I have chose. It has helped me see a bigger light in striving for my degree in nursing, so that I can can start helping those that need help. Not only has it pushed me, but it led me into the path that I am willing to be directed to. College experience has been wonderful, I've gotten out that as long as I want education college is there for me to recieve it. I also got that no matter what anyone else say or tell me, I can make it. College is about becoming more into your own person, growing up and not focusing on things that are irrelevant. I have also valued on how much education I've been learning, education is the number one thing in my life.

It has allowed me to grow as a person and increase my knowledge and experience of the world. My mother has passed away from breast cancer while I ws in school. I am planning to use my college skills I gain and my degree to help me work in my career. My mother and I mentored youg kids whose parents have cancer at the Wellness Community in Atlanta and it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I continue to do this after her death while I am in school. It is the most rewarding thing I have ever done and I seem to have a talent for it. I would like to work with these kids after school and I feel that my college training and experience will give me the ability and opportunity to do so. I have done this as my internship and developed many contacts and professional people who will assist and strongly reccomend me as will many of my professors. My mother always inspired my sister and I to be of service and this is why I chose my college and the classes to take so I could have my life career.

In my college experience I have learned a lot from instructors who are very knowledgeable in the working feild of telivision and film production. There, I got the self motivation I needed in order to be succsesful in such a competative field. I learnd how to communicate well with others and I was able to get first hand experiance on directing a small telivision poduction at the college. It also gave me a better perspective on how much time and hard work is needed in order for a production to be executed well done, and on time. Having this experiance has only reasured me that this is what i want to do with my life. It is what I hope and dream of doing one day. For me it has been so valuable to attend, in order to achieve what I want to be in the future, that is, being a film director, and to have a better life. If hadn't attneded college i woundn't have met such amazing people, and instructors who basicaly gave everyone a life lesson everyday, such as "not verything lasts forever". Thank you so much for helping me with this scholarship. Jaime Morones
