Success is not just a word for me; it’s a dream. Going to Kennesaw state university is a step toward my dream, which is to become a dermatologist. From there I’ve learned the notion of time management which implies consistency and perseverance to get my work done on time. I never believed in the word “can’t” because it’s a choice and not a fact. It is a valuable experience for me because it is helping me be aware of a lot of things I never knew existed; also I’ve developed a sense of friendship by gathering with others during the school activities. Overall college will assure me to have a better life in the future and be financially stable which will help me accomplish my second goal: open a free clinic in New Orleans beside my other clinic.

Not only was my experience valuable, but it was invaluable as well. The pride I earned by putting myself through college is immeasurable. After working a full eight hour day, I wuold drive 30 miles to the University four days a week for three to four hours a night. It was extremely hard work, but the knowledge gained was worth the effort. I am now a single mother of a fantastic seven year old boy who knows the importance of education and perserverance.

As a result of my college experience I have gained friends, knowledge, and experiences. The friendships will be lasting and as my future colleages in schools they may serve as resources and support. I truely believe that I had some of the best professors who imparted to me knowledge that will be essential when I am teaching. My professors were very knowledgeable and supportive. As an education major, I feel that I learned a lot about classroom management, teaching approaches, and classroom technology. Probably the most important part of my education was my field experiences. I was able to experience and practice teaching techniques and to use resources as I was learning about them in my classes.
I am glad that I spent my four years of college at Kennesaw State University because they have an excellent program for education majors. I felt like I was getting the most for my money in my in-depth and interactive classes. Now as a graduate, I feel prepared for a career as a teacher. The college also encouraged me to pursue my current path of continuing my education in a graduate program.

When I graduated from high school, I was absolutely ecstatic. I was so happy to be done and head off to college, but once it started getting time for me to pack my things and leave, I started getting scared. I had never been pushed so far out of my comfort zone, but there was no turning back. This was something I had to do. Once I got here, I was introverted and I didn?t want to do anything but go to class and get good grades. Since being in college, I have learned how to come out of my shell and just go out there and do what I want to do. I have gotten involved in several groups that have helped me develop personally as well as helping me in choosing my career path. I have gotten so much out of being in college, but the main things that I have learned that it is okay to be myself and that I know that I can achieve my goals and be a contributing member of society.

I have been able to meet some really amazing people and learn so much in my classes. I love that unlike many Universities, Kennesaw teachers strive for your success rather than your failure. They work with you both inside and out of the classroom to make sure you succeed. I have been able to take advantage of all the social activities and fitness trainers that are provided to me and I have learned to enjoy my life and what it has to offer. I feel less stressed when I am at school and I fee like I belong here. My education has been the most valuable thing I have gotten out of college, becasue it will stick with me forever. Now that I am in college I feel as if I can conqure the world. There is so much positive energy that flows through campus you really do believe that you can do anything.

Over the past three years, I've gotten a number of life long friends that will be there for me forever. I know I can call on them at anytime day or night and they will drop everything to help me out. Also KSU has given me countless amounts of useful information to help me in my work towards a meaningful career. It has given me the true college experience in every meaning of the word, everything from hanging out with new friends to all night study sessions.

I Have had meny experiances through college. The one experience that comes to mind is that of my teachers. I am currently enrolled in Sandhills Community College in Aberdene NC, the teachers here are verry helpfull and donot mind taking time out of there day to help you understand what they are teaching. Seeing this from teachers that have hundreds of students to teach and thay wiould take time out of there bisy secudele to help me is the best experience I think eny one could have.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is that, i'm having the time of life attending college. Being in college has help me with my studies, make great friends in college and join clubs that I really enjoy. Having this experience also, is that I am able to be proud of myself and be able to see what I have accomplish so far in school. I have had obstacles in my life in high school; but i have put negative things in the past and let it all go and that has help me to get where I am today. It has been valuable to attend college; because I feel a sense of independence and that I can do it on my own and don't have anyone holding my hand on the way to accomplish my goal and strive for the best. Attending college has opened up boundaries for me and has allowed me to explore my options and to expand my horizons; but overall college has been a great experience for me and I wouldn't trade it for anything else in my life for the time being.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience! I was fortunate enough to meet a professor who changed my life and inspired me to take up Political Science. He helped me talk about my experiences with ethnic cleansing in Bosnia as a child and has made me desire to help aid justice in the world.

I've learned thus far that college really is an important growing experience. One not only discovers their interests, but also their dislikes, preferences of food and drink, and arguably, most importantly, the types of people with which one is truly and comfortably compatible. Kennesaw State is a great place to develop life long friendships because each person here has purpose and ambition. In seeking to develop such friendships, one simply has to find people whose ambitions match their own, and what they have in common will connect them for life. In addition, all of the wonderful, cultural programs and classes that are offered allow students to befriend even the most unlikely of students. I could not be more pleased with my experience here!
