Lake Erie College Top Questions

My college experience thus far has been a very interesting one. One major thing I have learned is time management. It's extremely difficult balancing work, softball, and school. I have had to adjust to being able to know when I am able to have free time and when it is time to get my work done. College has taught be how to be on my own and be an independent person as well. You don't have your parents with you all the time now, so it's a big change from highschool. I value my attendance at Lake Erie College because I feel like I have already needed to overcome many obstables and I know this school has made me a much stronger person.

What I have learned from my college experience is the knowledge of how to deal with the loans process. During high school they say that they are trying to prepare their students for college but they give us no information on loans. I also have learned that just because you are passionate about something doesn’t mean that you are meant to have a job in said passion. I am a commuter student and I have seen how living on campus makes student more independent and headstrong. Hopefully when I finish my education I will have learned even more important skills I will need to live a full and happy life.

I started college when I was sixteen, while all my friends were out studying and doing all those things teenagers do to get themselves in trouble I was discovering all the truely amazing information that had been laid out at my feet.

No one cared about my age, they only cared about the amount of information I could retain and no one ever told me that I couldn't do something. College is a very valuable experience because it gives you that transition from highschool to how you'll be treated in the real world. If your willing to put the time and effort into your studies it will teach you how to act like the kind of person people want to hire.

I have spent the past three years at Lake Erie College gaining an education in life. True, I learned many, many important things about horses, which will be imperative considering I intend to make them my career, but what stands out to me the most is the fact that I have grown as a person. I have gained confidence in who I am, and what I will become. I have built friendships, and learned to sustain relationships with important people in the equine industry. I have surpassed hardships, and learned to overcome what used to bring me down. I have accepted responsibility for my actions, and taken on the challenge of living with my own choices. I have tasted what life will be like on my own, and although the thought is exhilarating, it is also one of the most sobering experiences that I shall have to endure. Nonetheless, I am ready. Without my experiences at Lake Erie College, I am not sure that I would feel so prepared to go forth in life. Alas, I am confident, and for that I can only say that my time spent as a student at Lake Erie is invaluable to me.

Academic education comes to mind when most students ponder about what they will learn in college, but my college experience has been largely a journey of self-discovery, complete with the battle scars and blood inflicted along the way. I first joined the college world in the fall of 2005 only to quickly discover that while I excelled academically, I had little knowledge of how to flourish personally. I spent the next four years participating in non-traditional variations of college such as traveling to Mexico for a semester with the National Outdoor Leadership School, and taking classes at a local community college in Ann Arbor, Michigan, while I held a full time job and supported myself. This might just put me in the category of the proverbial "late bloomer," but because of my turbulent college start I learned the ins and outs of how I function as an individual in this world. The opportunity to use college as a safe environment to ascertain what it is within me I need to bring forth to thrive has been valuable in that the experience now allows me to glean the greatest value from my present and ongoing college education.

Ever since I began my high school education, I have been told about college and what it has to offer me. I awaited the days when I would gain the experience for myself, and finally after graduating high school, I knew it was my turn to experience the college life. What I have gotten out of my two years attending Broward College in Coconut Creek, FL is a better understanding of what my future brings and what I can apply to my education in order to get where I want to succeed in the future. I have made great friends and great connections that can help me progress in my education and career plans. College has provided me with so much because it has shown me the value of education and lifelong connections with peers and teachers. It has taught me to be more responsible and to want to thrive in whatever I do. I am now ready to further my education into a 4 year college and make a difference in my life through more connections and more education to boost my knowledge about what the world has and will offer me in the future.

In my first year of college I learned that swords, magic, and virtual fish are less important than my future. I was addicted to an online multiplayer adventure game throughout my senior year of high school and into college. By my second semester of college, I had already logged a staggering 2,000 hours of play-time. 83 full days within a 356 day period. I was able to maintain my grades as A's and B's but I knew that I had a problem. When I had free time, I was much more inclined to increase my Fishing skill than complete school work. In college I was responsible for managing my own time. I no longer had the planned structure of high school, and my online adventuring took lead priority. My college experience has been beneficial not only because I have learned a great deal of valuable academic material, but because I was forced to quickly realize the importance of budgeting my time wisely. I have learned how to prioritize my life on my own and work before play.

I have gotten several things out of my college experience! Firstly, I have made great connections and friendships with my professors. I know that if I have a need or question, there is someone I can go to, and I always have several people that I can go to for references! My professors care about me, and I can tell- which is so valuable. I also have grown as a dancer. My professors have given me the tools I need as a dance major to become an amazing choreographer, they have shown me how to step outside of my comfort zone and do things I never knew I could! I am now able to reach into parts of myself that I did not previously know were there and find new ways to move and create movement! They hav encouraged me and given me confidence as a person and as a dancer that I will carry always with me!
