Thoughout my experience in college, I have taken away many skills, that will help me along the way to being the best i can be, and among these, the most valuable piece of knowlege is the ability to work hard and still have fun. I am working towards attending law school, so with that goal comes the workload associated with legal studies. I have always been interested in Government, and now I am totally immersed in it. One thing that sets Legal students apart from others is that you have to be totally commited to the subject and to the profession. When I start studying the law, it can become dry and sometimes mundane, but I am truly interested in the subject, so I always find joy in reading and studying the different cases. I have talked to many Law students, and the most important skill that needs to be mastered is the ability to find joy in all you do.

It is a lot of hard work, and it takes some getting used to, but by attendign KSU I have gotten the full college feel for life.

America is all about education and success, and to get there, you NEED college.

Freshman year, I spend long days in my dorm unearthing, defining, and embracing the seed of my individual person. In my first brave moments entirely independent I discover a self to grow from. Sophomore year, I sprout deep roots of knowledge, friendship, and life lessons, which, stretch and explore across my college campus. As a junior, I grow limbs reaching for lofty dreams. Now I know the direction I am meanty to grow and am confident I will soon see the fruits of meaningful work. With each day, each ‘A’, and each professor noticing my astounding growth sprout new leaves of opportunities. My college experience changes like an oak, deeping roots, growing wider, and, like the rings of tree, you cearly see my maturity. I proudly show how I worked through knots as an example that all struggles are worth the end product. I happily remember each flourishing summer.

I believe I have made a good amount of friends for neven having been in a frat and I am hoping I keep these friends after I have graduated. I have also learned not to take things for granted. The HOPE has given me a wonderful opportunity that others can hardly imagine, and I am thankful everyday that I am getting the learning experience that I am. I would recommend my school to anyone that is not a party animal, is serious about their studies, and wants to experience a moderately calm college environment. Sure its college, and there will be parties and mayhem here and there, but it is not what campus life revolves around. They have great club sports and a wide variety of teachers, most whom I would say are great and passionate about what they do. I have enjoyed my college experience.

I have learned a lot about the world and myself in general. I have gotten to meet a lot of new people and learn about many different cultures.

In the first two years of high school, I had no forsight or understanding of my future. My grades suffered as a result of my ignorance. Upon applying to twleve schools for prospective college admissions, I was accepted into two; the last two choices on my list. Naturally, I was much less enthused about venturing off to college than I had been before receiving those ten rejection letters. I knew there was no question as to whether or not I was going to school, but I immediately set my sights on transferring. Regardless of my less than ideal educational situation, I have learned a lot through my college experience thus far. I have learned to appreciate diversity; my high school was a small, majorly white public school in which everyone was similar in numerous ways, yet here in college I have seen so many different kinds of people with such diverse ideas. Upon encountering individuals with ideas varied from mine, I have learned to open my mind and appreciate people for who they are, whether I agree with them or not. Lastly, I have grown to appreciate sound study habits unlike those required in high school as they foster knowlede.

College is more knowledgable than high school was. You have professors who express their honest opinions in their teaching. You also have the students who invest their time and money into one of the most important documents in life, a college degree. I have learned more in one year than the time period from kindergarten to 12th grade. I know more computer software (Mac and Adobe), more skills, etc. You also have access to more educational services than an average public school would have. It is very valuable to attend, even for my fellow senior citizen classmates!
