Lake Erie College Top Questions

i would first tell myself to be more outgoing once i arrive at college, that's a great skill to obtain if it doesn't come naturally. be prepared to miss your family more than orginally expected, the appreciation for them will only grow over the years away. and finally, i personally believe that college is the place where most students truly find out who they are and the person they want to become. i would let my younger self know that its not so much important what you're leaving behind but what you're gaining and getting into. i would tell myself to be more open-minded and willing to accept changes and new people.

To go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I think it would some things I would certainly tell myself. One of the things I think I would make into a point of emphasis, would be the fact that I should have taken high school more serious and tried to get as much as I could from there. I started high school in a good way but once I figured that I understood how it worked I just stopped trying my best and just doing enough to get by which I would never do again if i had to do it over. Another thing I would go back and tell myself is that college is a situation that youkind of have to make your own fun but that isn't a bad thing. I also would probably tell my high school self to do a little better research for my college of choice because it was some things I didn't know about like this college being an equestrian school. Even though it had no effect on my decision just should have done better research.

At Lake Erie College, I have experienced more than I could ever imagine. LEC has offered incredible opportunities for my major. I am getting so much hands-on experience; which is very valuable for an equine studies major. I was able to go on a field trip to Kentucky where we visited equine hospitals, the Keenland Racetrack, a Thoroughbred breeding farm, and an equine rehabilitation and medical center. That trip really opened up my eyes to the possibilities available to me after graduation. On campus, there is a club or organization for everyone. For me, I am part of the Pre-Vet Club and Laddies Legacy Club (an equine club devoted to helping equine students and the facilities). There are also opportunities to work for the college, as I do in the Admissions Office. Through all of these experiences, I am learning to manage my time, be responsible, and become a leader. I believe LEC has been very valuable to attend because they not only offer an amazing education, but incredible opportunities (such as the study abroad program), community service, and relationship building between college peers.

I believe that attending Lake Erie College has made me a more confident student, it has brought out the best in me, and has helped give me the skills to succeed. I have gained more knowledge to help me grow not only for my career, but also for the future. I will take away the real life and hands-ons experiences that I have obtained from being an education major at Lake Erie College. I will never forget working and helping out in school districts around the area, volunteering for campus events such as Fall Harvest and Suess-a-thon, and mentoring young students in a program called Team-up. I know that through all of these experiences I have learned what will make me a better teacher.

Out of my college experience that college is easy if you do your work. it valuable to attend college for you can have better life in the long run.

The college experience is something that i have always looked forward to and it has been a good experience. I get challenged more than I did in high school which is probably why i enjoy it so much. Another great part of the college experience is the bettering of my people skills and other communicative skills. Meeting new people is just a part of life and plays a major role in college since I get to meet so many new people. These skills will help me when i graduate since I will need them in the business world because I will need to present myself very well in interviews for potential jobs and for any internships that i may get. The college experience is something that everyone needs to become a part of because those are the times when you learn the most about yourself and what you can become. I am looking forward to the next three years of college and the challenges to come.

I realized what it was I valued the most, the world’s children. Nothing strikes a chord in me harder than hearing of children being abused, neglected and abandoned. This passion fuels my urge and desire to advocate and educate myself and others of social issues that involve children. Personally I have witnessed inter-family child abuse and molestation and I feel that it is my obligation to reach back and help youth going through similar situations. It is my belief that God gave me my voice to speak for those too afraid or unable to speak for their selves. That is what makes me a leader. This passion, this drive, this experience connects me and sets me apart from the rest. I hold myself to a leader standard and higher calling and expect others to notice and judge me accordingly. When my time here on Earth is gone I will not be able to take anything with me but I can leave more than debt behind. It is my goal and dream to be remembered not for what I had the ability to do but for what I managed to accomplish.

I have made some great friends and met alot of great people. The small camous lets you get to know pretty much everyone who attends and works at Lake Erie college on a personal basis. I have learned alot in my first semester here and plan to keep going. It also helps that I am on the volleyball team because I already had friends coming into this school.

I love all the knowledge I have picked up, and all the friends I have made. Everyone here may get busy but they still find time to help others when needed. People tend to get to know each other very well.

I have learned a lot so far at Lake Erie College. I have learned a lot about time management as I have been challenged to study while playing college football. It sure takes a lot of time an commitment. I have also learned what its like to live on your own. My coaches put us through study hall six hours per week which has helped my study habits tremendously. Lastly through my time so far at Lake Erie College I have started to learn what it is really like to be a teacher and how rewarding it can be. I went on a field trip to Royalview Elementary and sat in on couple different classrooms. I even got to help out with some of the teacher's lesson plan. It was really cool to see what its like to actually be the teacher rather than the student. I found this experience to be very worthwhile and rewarding. In conclusion, I feel that my time at Lake Erie College thus far has been very beneficial and I have learned so much.

I have gained so much from my college experience. It seems cliche to say it has made me a better person, but it truly has. I have gained knowledge, communication skills, a sense of pride, and volunteerism. I have learned that even though most people tend to think of college as a time to make friends and to find yourself, that you do not necessarily have to party to fit in. I have juggled 18 credit hours, cheerleading practices, a job, and volunteering since my freshman year, and I have been able to maintain a 3.9 grade point average while doing so. I have learned that all of my studying and hard work will pay off in the end. I have made friends, and not only with my students and teammates, but with the faculty and staff as well. All of these people have made my college experience so much better and has made me realize that I chose the best school for me. When I graduate from college and have a job out in the "real world", I will look back to my college experiences and be very thankful for everything and everyone who contributed.

Going to college has allowed me to gain a broader view of the world so that I might increase the size of my dream. I still don’t know exactly what I want to do or where I fit but my horizons are larger than when I graduated from high school. Education has always been important in my family so there was really no question about whether I would attend college. The question was what will I do with the experience? In addition to all of the academic instruction, I have learned to live peaceably with people I am not related to. I am learning that my world is larger than my hometown, state or country. I have learned that the world does not revolve around me and that I must find my place in the world because no one is going to hand it over to me. I am learning that service to others is a lifelong worthy purpose. I believe that attending college has provided me with life lessons that are beyond value.

Since I have been attending Lake Erie College, i've learned a lot and grew as a person in many ways. The professors have taught me how to be successful in my career and provided me with connections that will be very important in my future. In my fellow students, I have found friends for life and valued collegues. This has been such a valuable experience for me because I really do believe I wouldn't be the same person if I hadn't attended LEC. I feel more prepared for my future and I know that I have a whole network of people behind me that only want to see me succeed.

I have enjoyed studying respiratory care at my college and learning about the body. I am very grateful to be enrolled in a program that is rewarding and challenging. Healthcare is something I love and something I want to spend my life doing. I enjoy helping people. College allows me to make friends and learn, but most importantly, it gives me the training and opportunity to do something I love.

The most important thing I have gotten out of my college experience is a sense of self freedom and a deeper desire to simply learn. Prior to attending Lake Erie college I was in an infantry unit within the Marine Corps. In the Marines you have little if any freedoms as far as what you can read, say, and do. Attending Lake Erie College has been undoubtably extremely valuable to me because it is an amazing feeling to have not only the freedoms to read, say, and do what I want, but to also have a teaching staff that supports and incourages students to think on their own. Attending Lake Erie College has given me the confidence to know that I will be successful in my major as well as an over all well rounded life long learner.

One thing I have gotten out of my college experience, is the need to be independent. Much of the time in the past, my family and those around me have always helped me with my important tasks. During my stay at college, i have realized that they are not always going to be around to help me. I must learn some independence and begin to do things for myself. College has been valuable to attend, because it has helped me learn many things about myself and other people. I have gained new friends and new experiences and am thankful for them. I just hope that this submitted essay will help me win this scholarship because my family and I truly need the money. I am sure I am not the only person whom has this problem, but I just hope that I am picked.

What I have received from my college experience is responsibility and time management that have been most valuable. I have learned how to depend more on myself. My majors are not ones of ease being Adult/Young adult education and mathematics. I also play college baseball which takes much time and preparation throughout my school year. With our 50 plus game schedule, grueling coursework, and time spent between learning guitar and piano, I still find some time for myself. Out of all these responsibilities I put on myself, I have found that time management is the reason I have the free time I do. Many students I feel go through the motions of college, only working for grades they deam passible to themselves. I feel that I have worked hard during my time here, in both baseball and my coursework to reach a high standard I hold only for myself.

I have learned alot in every course i have taken so far at school things that will stick with me far after i graduate.

What I have gotten out of my college experience was being in a different atmosphere that I didn't have before. I realize the hard work and dedication that I needed in my studies. I now rely more on preparation whether it's on an exam or assignments. Education has been the main priority of mine because it the key to success. There are people in this world that can't take part in education because some feel they don't have the time or others may say the cost of college is unaffordable. In this case I do value my college experience dearly and would cherish the moment that I continue to have in the long run. I take into consideration that people without any college education would agree on the desire to want one if they could afford it. However, it not in my place to just assume that people without college education aren't able to find their own happy place in the world whether it having a job they're good at or a beloved family they care for. My college education was indeed valuable to me because it gave me hope for a better future.

I have defnitely matured a lot since coming to this school and having to balance school with sports. I kno how important it is to get an education in today's society, and I want to be abe to have the best chance I can to succeed in life. Lake Erie College pushes me academically and forces me to learn much needed information that I can take with me throughout my career.
