Johnson University Top Questions

I exelled in high school. Everything I set my mind to I acheived and have brought myself great satisfaction and great personal reward for all my hard work. The one peice of advice I would have given myself that would have made things easier on me now would have been to tell myself to seriously apply to scholarships. I did not take applying to several scholarships seriously; in the sense that I did not apply to any at first. My Bright Future's Scholarship is now over with and it would have been nice had I applied to scholarships the last two years to have saved up that money to help pay for school now. It will be more of a struggle to pay for school now than it would have been if I could have given myself that advice, but even so I will continue to strive for my goals and continue to acheive my goals in life just as I have always done.

If I could go back to my high school senior self, I would tell myself to go to the library more and study every night. You have to know how to study and study a lot in the right way. In order to do well in all of your classes you HAVE to study. Also, I would tell myself to get involved in different activities to get to know other people better.

Firstly, make sure to keep good grades. Good grades and test scores translate directly into money in college. The better you do now, the more money you have to pay for college. Also, take your classes seriously. People flunk out all the time for silly things like simply not going to class so that they can play games or sleep in. You are paying for every hour of class you register for, whether you are there or not. If you flunk out because of slacking off, you have wasted your time and money, and lots of it. The other big piece of advice I could offer is to be prepared to meet the best friends you will ever have. Many students, especially at Johnson Bible College (Recently renamed: Johnson University) meet their spouces there. I did and I don't regret it in the least bit. And my closest of friends also came from college, and I try my best to stay in touch with them. These are going to be some of the best years of your life, make sure that you don't waste them!

I have learned so much in my time here already. Through my college experience so far I have grown in my relationship with Christ and have really understood where God is calling me. I think that attending a Christian college has been a very smart move for me because I am not only getting a quality education but I am also getting the oppurtunity to learn more about my beliefs and the beliefs of others while I am getting the support of friends who share the same morals and ideals as I do. Attending this school has been really valuable to my faith as well as getting the schooling I need. It has really helped me to stay on track because I do not have as many temptations as I might at a public university. Johnson Bible College gives me the tools I need to reach my goals and to be able to reach out to help others.

I am 42 years old. I got married right out of high school and had three children. My youngest child is autistic and so I have dealt a lot with schools. My children grew up and when the two oldest graduated from high school I tried to decide what I wanted to do. When I was 39 years old I decided to come to college and persue a degree in education. After all the involvement I had while my children were growing up I knew the school system needed good, Christian teachers to help guide the young students. Out of this college experience I have learned the skills needed to teach in a public and Christian school. Since I am older I have also been around normal college aged students which I feel has helped me to learn to better relate to students today. The temperament and values of children today are very different then I went to school so I feel that I am more in touch with children today and the needs that they now have. I have learned better approaches to reach these needs than what I had experienced when I was going through school.

Attending Johnson Bible College has been such a growing experience to me. All the people here at JBC are here to help prepare students for ministry, so in this process i have grown so much in they faith in the short months that have been here. I have also made friends here that I can already tell will be lifetime friends and will help me grow spiritually. None of the people here are trying to bring you down they want to help you get through college with as little pain as possible. Here at JBC do you not only get an education in the school sense but also in the church sense.

The right college comes after lots of groundwork. Talk to people you know about the colleges they went to and their experiences there, especially recent graduates. Weigh the cost of the schools tuition against the amount of money you would prefere to spend. You are able to find a happy medium. If the phone experiences you have with the staff are pleasant, your experience has a better chance of being the same.

Make sure you find a school you really love, don't just settle. Find somewhere that has your career choice of interest and will be the best opportunity for you. Find a school that has professors that enjoy their job and will encourage you, as a student, throughout the years. there are professors that really do care. Also, find somewhere that you can get your work done and not have the distractions of partying. You can have fun and have a social life without being at a party school.

Don't pressure your child to choose a college that makes you feel better about their future solely because you have a shallow version of your childs future success based in your failures in life.

If you are the parent don't push your student to go to a college YOU think would be best let your child decided for their self.
