The most important thing that I have gotten from my college experience would be the understanding that a little bit of work and determination sets me apart from others. I have always struggled in life, my mother was a single parent that was supporting five children and battling breast cancer. It saddens me to say this but after seven long years she passed away leaving my brother, sisters and I to take care of ourselves. But her determination and drive to succeed is what keeps me going each day. She showed me that no matter how hard something may be, the right attitude and determination will make it happen and those that deserve it will overcome any and all obsticles and come out better in the end. Along with attending school, I am also in the US Army, the faculty and student body have accepted me and supported me in all of my endevors while attending. I will always remember Kutztown University for the rest of my life.

Although I am still attending college, I have thus far gained a sense of accomplishment that I haven't felt from anything else that I have done.

Every memory I gain from my experience in college is a life lesson that will have a net return on my life as I grow within my field and support the world around me.

College is where you go to start your career, it takes someone who's self-disciplined, a hard worker, and dedication to something that they want and desire having. It's been valuable to me because I will be the first out of my whole family on both sides to go to college, to get a degree, and to make something out of myself. The way you do in school is the way you will do in life, and I'm not going to pass this opportunity up by not doing my absolute best, and hardest to be where I desire to be in life.

When I first began Kutztown University at the start of this year I had, and to some extent still have, no clue as to what I want to major and begin a career in. To some, and for the most part to me before I actually began college, this may seem terrifying and unsettling, but for the short time I have been at Kutztown they illuminated and gave me insight to the endless possibilities I posses at this milestone in my life and gave me the mindset that, although it is to be taken seriously, I should not overthink and it is best to concentrate day by day sometimes. I am currently working on my General Ed. classes and for once am not so apprehensive about my future, but know I belong in school and hope to have astronomical and collegic goals for myself along the timeline of my life, where ever that may take me.

My college experience has been a long journey with plenty of hurdles to overcome. Like many high school graduates, I was unsure of what career path I truly wanted to walk. To be honest, I still am! A friend once told me, "Follow your heart, and the rest will follow." Although I stubbornly resisted his advice at first, I finally chose to pursue my passion, English Literature. Though English is not considered a "practical" field of study, allowing myself to fully embrace this major in college has been one of the most fulfilling and transformative experiences of my life. In the course of my studies, I have not only expanded and sharpened my communication skills, but I explored and wrestled with philosophical concepts that widened my understanding of society and the individual's place within it. My professors consistently encouraged my personal voice while guiding me toward clarity of expression, and my peers provided a dynamic forum within which they and I could discuss and develop our ideas. As I graduate this Fall, I am confident that my communication skills and my awareness of the power of words will be an asset in any career I choose to pursue.

College is a whole different breed of learning. It simulates your mind to think beyond a high school level. I love the fact that i learn things and think about them after in a whole new perspective. I have only completed one year of college, but i look forward to spending many more years there because it feels great to learn new things, the value of a college education can never be matched.

I have learned a lot from my first year at Kutztown University. I have leaned about meeting new people and making new friends, and adjusting to a different lifestyle. I have learned the value of making goals and making those goals priorities. And I learned the value of putting those priorities first. My second semester goals were to make a 3.2 gpa. I failed miserably because I placed my goals in the back and just had fun. Now I look back on that gpa and really regret not focusing on that goal and making it a priority. I have learned how to have a proper mix of work and fun. I have learned about different cultures, and diversified myself in many ways. I have learned the value of hard work, and how it can get you to the places that u desire to be if u work hard to get there. I believe that my first year of college has helped me to mature and has taught how to achieve my goals, to ultimately achieve my dreams.

There are many things that I have gotten out of my college experience at Kutztown University. Most importantly, I received a quality education for a very reasonable price. I had gained friends as well as mentors. I also received the experience of living a "college life". This time period is usually for students who are transitioning from high school to the "real world", and I was in that time period of my own life while attending college. I was able to gain a great education and become acclimated to being a responsible adult at the same time. The friends and mentors were able to give advice that I did not receive from my parents to help me become who I am today. I have a well-rounded education thanks to my studying at Kutztown University, and the knowledge that will continue to be a part of who I am for the rest of my life. Knowledge does not go out of style and I can call upon it at anytime that I would need it in my future. It was an investment in me that was well worth it.
