Pam

By attending Kennesaw State University I have learned what I can gain from working hard and staying dedicated. I entered KSU as a "non traditional" transfer student; married with two kids. Although I am normally among adults much younger than me I never feel misplaced. My instructors have treated me just like any other student; which for myself means relearning things I have forgotten since being in high school. I have had to take refresher courses in math and writing in order to keep up with the adults that have entered KSU straight out of high school, however every one of those class have helped make me a better student and person. Both of my kids want to also attend KSU so I remind myself everyday that I am not only setting an example for them, but I am also proving that I can and will do whatever I put my mind to, just like they can do.

I have experienced the full college experience at Kennesaw State University. Although I have a child, I still feel like a college student at my school. There is always something going on at campus. There are bake sales, music playing loudly, students playing instruments on the walk ways, and it just has the overall college feel. My university is large but has a small school feel because the classes are a decent size. This experience has been so valuable to me because I learn so much more from my teachers and their lectures than I could learn from any book or any online discussion.

I have learnt from my college experience that in order to become the person I want to be tomorrow, I have to put in the time, effort and hard work required. I also learnt that time management is the key to success. Adjusting to college life wasn't easy for me at first but with time and help I was able to balance everything out. Attending college has been very valuable to me because there are so many things I have learnt in just a small amount of time. I have taken the first step in achieving my goal to becoming a doctor by going to college. I would not have accomplished anything or come this far without education. I am on the road to discovering myself, and being in college offered me many opportunities and guidance towards finding out who I am and what I want to be in the future. Knowledge is power, and that is the most valuable lesson I have learnt so far in this little time. No knowledge acquires, no matter how small is ever for waste, and I look forward to learning more life lessons as I go through college.

I was able to learn more than academic skills, but also life skills. I learned about who I was and where I wanted to go in life. My faith was tested and became stronger. I met friends who challenged me to be better and supported me through difficult times. I was able to realize the things that were truely important in life. I was tested on more than academic material, but also as a person. I was challenged to question political beliefs, religious beliefs, and values. I never felt threatened by being pushed to question my beliefs, but in fact appreciated the opportunity. By questioning my beliefs, I was able to understand how I formulated these beliefs and how they had shpaed my life thus far. Many people never get this opportunity to understand the way they think, and the reasons behind their thought process. Kennesaw State prepared me for a successful career, and successful personal life by challenging me to discover who I am.

SPENCER

During my time at Kennesaw State University, I have learned to be self sufficient. I have learned that, generally speaking, professors and classmates do not care if I pass or fail. It is up to me and me alone to be responcible and perform to the best of my abilities. I had to learn this the hard way I'm afraid, but I am all the better man for it. While my college experience wasn't and still isn't everything I hoped it would be, I am greatful for the experience and personal insight that I have gained from my time there. I hope that I will be able to make the remainder of my time in college what I want it to be. I also hope that any further insights into my understanding of the world will be as valuble as those I gained during my first year.
