From my college experience, I have learned to be focused on homework and classwork. If a person is focused on these 2 thing then he or she will do fine in college. It is very valuable to attend college because after graduating college a person can have a good career.

I have made many great friends from near and far. I have also grown as a person and did many things I never could have imagined doing. I went on a 3 week trip to Paris over the summer with the college. A large percentage of the student body is athletes, and I enjoy attending their events and cheerinh on the Storm.

Growing up, I knew I would enjoy college, but I did not know I would love college. In today's world, it is obvious a higher education is the most important accomplishment of today and the future. I have gotten a new life out of college. I have made goals which are higher than I would have ever thought about it. I have become an adult and have begun a life of my own. College is a life all in its own and I have made it into a growing experience. In my life, it is just my mother and and e support each other. She makes an annual $15,000 a year and that is barely enough to support and full time college student and grown women with health problems but we support each other. It is more than valuable for me to go to college because I want to take care of my mother. Stress is part of her everyday mind set and I want to take it away. The higher education I am receiving is more than a dream and the experience I am given is worth the world.

Throughout my college experience I have learned so much and met some wonderful people. College is one of the best experiences and I think that everyone should give it a try. If I wouldn't have attended college I would not have gotten to have this wonderful experience, and seeing how to get the chance to further my education. The thing that I like about my college and has made it easier is the small class sizes. I get the opportunity to get one on one time with my professors and get to know everyone in the class.

I came to Lake Erie College as an Equestrian Teacher/Trainer major, something that most people hear about and say "You're a what major?" Horses have always been a huge part of my life and so it felt only natural for me to continue on with my education to be a professional teacher and trainer within the industry. The greatest thing that Lake Erie College has done for my college experience is provide me with the tools and oppertunities which might not have otherwise been available to help me succeed. Horseback riding is very expensive, and while my family comes from an upper middle class economic status, we also have 4 children in our family, all of which either went to/are in college. Four college tuitions is a lot to pay for! My parents did the best they could, but it was Lake Erie which gave me access to better horses, better trainers and more people within the industy. My own riding and skill level has also improved tremendously while I have been in attendance at this school. Overall, the most valuable aspect of my education was being given the tools to succeed.

I have learned about people in the real world. How cruel people can be, how judgemental people can be, and how unhelpful people can be. I have also learned that some proffesors really want people to learn and succeed, and some professors are only their to get their pay check and go home. Its been a value to attend my school to learn about the real world and the real faces of people. It has also been a value to me to learn about my career field and what i should really expect when i graduate, not what they tell you in fairy tale stories of a perfect world after college.

There are many college experiences i have learned at this school. One of them is to be responsible and do the best that i can in everything i do. As long as you give your best effort you will have a very good chance to be successful in the near future. In college you have to be great in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Without good time managemet it is very hard to keep your events on time. When you are an athlete you have to make sure you get your studying done on time and that you go to class everyday to be successful. With good grades and performances on the field there will be time you can go hang out with friends and reward yourself for the hard workyou hve achieved on the field and in the classroom.

I have learned much about the business world and how competitve it really is. One must obtain at least a bachelors degree to have a decent paying job but should for sure go for a masters degree or MBA. Lake Erie has taught me to be more focused on my academic learning and to be more organized in my overall studies. It has also made me a better person and want to have a stable life and be financially stable in every aspect of my present and future.

I have been trying to go back to school for ten years. Now that I'm finally back in, the thrill of learning is rushing back to me. It's so gratifying to read about and study things and see the information come together in my mind. I never thought, for example, that I'd be good at, let alone like, math, but I find myself excited to practice problems in my Algebra class. Engaging my mind again is exhilarating, and knowing that I'm teaching myself how to better plan and organize my time makes me feel good about myself. I love learning, and I love that at the end of my studies, I can take what I've learned into a profession where I can grow, instead of just continuing the daily grind in the retail field as I have been doing. Getting tests back, engaging in class discussions, and knowing that I "get it" really makes me feel like I'm becoming a more complete person, with more to give back to those around me who might be stumbling.

I have had the opportunity to obtain real world experience through Lake Erie College. It is one thing to go to school and learn about what you want to do with your life, but it is an incredible opportunity to gain real world experience towards your major while you are still in school. At Lake Erie College I have had the opportunity to work with two companies on class projects. My major is Marketing and our teacher had as partner with Chick-fil-A of Mentor. We not only did this exercise for the classroom, but presented our final seasonal marketing plan before the owner of the store. He loved the work we had done so much that they have actually implemented the plan! This kind of real world experience can not be duplicated and gives students at Lake Erie College an edge on others as we graduate and enter into the workforce.
