Lane College Top Questions

I would possibly say to myself that i should explore my options on a wider scale and see all that i can see. Go to colleges and gather all the neccessary information that would greatly be beneficial to me in the future. I would tell myself to have fun while im in school and not to stress on whether i make a sound decision of a major. In due time it will come to me. I will be more open to people and embrace everything as a new challenge. I would tell myself not to be afraid and get out and do more invovlement on campus than going to parties all the time. I would tell myself to be focused and continue to strive for a better me. I would say that college was not meant to scare you away, but to want to enjoy what life has to offer.

I would tell myself not to be scared of the cost associated with going to college. That loans and scholarships are easy to come by. I would also tell myself to live on campus and only work when I wont be attending classes. That my job and number one priority should be school. That getting my degree is more improtant than making a lot of money- because most people don't make a lot of money straight out of high school.

I would urge myself to complete all my spanish and math courses. I would encouraged myself to invest alot more time in research for scholarships and colleges. I would have the old me to save money that way i can buy things for myself whenever i want to. I would of been more pro active to set up campus tour dates to get the vibe of a college campus before attending. Generally, my whole attitude towards higher education would have been completely different. My preparation would enhance drastically if i could go back and talk to the younger me. Even though i cant go back im good position to reach the goals i have set for myself.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would give myself helpful advice that I wish I have followed at the time. The first piece of advice I would give myself would be to prepare myself to battle “senioritis.” In that way, the high school me will remain focused more on his grades and his last chance to build up his GPA instead of focusing on how ready he is to finish school. In addition to battling “senioritis,” I would advise myself not to procrastinate on filling and sending college applications as well as looking for possible scholarships. This piece of information would be vital to me because I would be able to plan ahead to meet important deadlines so I would not have to stress as much during my last year. My final piece of advice would be to have fun and do everything possible to enjoy my last year. Keeping my guard against “senioritis,” being organized with college applications, and having fun with my last year of high school are all things that would help the high school me prosper in my transition from high school to college.

I realize the importance of a college education. I think college broadens your mind. It provokes your think. Regardless of your major there will be things that you will learn but you will also learn things from your employer. College gives the basics. College has given me analylitical skills beyond my wildest dreams. I have been exposed to so much because of college.

While I was growing up, I didn't have a chance to go to school. It's been my dream to finish my education, but I grew up in the Philippines during a time when education there was very poor. In order to go to school, I had to walk about 15 miles a day. For this, my parents decided that I just had to work on the farm with them instead of going to school. Therefore, I had to dedicate myself in helping my parents grow fruits, vegetable and plant corn. Also, I took care of animals such as buffalos, cows, goats, chickens and pigs. I basically grew up in the farm working and helping my parents. Now that I have the opportunity to pursue my education, I am dedicated and determined to pursue my dream which is getting my college degree. I am a mother of two wonderful children. The older is 10 and the younger is 6 years old. I started my school last Spring of 2009. Based on my grade report, I have all "As" in all of my classes. Getting my college degree would help me get a job to support my children and myself.

I have grown as a person, and have learned alot so far. I hope to learn more about nursing, and i am facinated by the human body. i want to learn more, i have a appetite for more education. I hope to become a nurse and help people in the emergency, or the ICU. I have helped people all my life as well as animals and want to make it my lifes career. I think that the nursing career is a very rewarding one, and it gives you a very good sense of self-worth. I have learned a lot in my 1st year of college and am learning more and more. I love to learn and can't wait for the journey of my education to continue.

I have been paying fall 2010, and the price is to much. Getting this scholarship would help a lot.

I have taken courses that have peaked my intrests thrice-fold in my college career. I am hoping to be able to fund my intended major of an associate degree in nursing. I have been working on this for several years now, but have recently decided that it is in my best intrest to put the pedal to the metal so to speak.

Everyone is in college to go to class and make grades, but a true college experience is a lot more than just grades and studying. To me, a true college experience, and what I personally have gotten out of my college career, is balancing going to class and making grades with hanging out with friends and being active on campus. Being at college has taught me how to balance my 40 hour work week, weekends having fun with friends, and being active on campus in clubs and student body activities with class, studying, and maintaining my current 3.2 GPA. There is nothing in the world that can replace the value of a true college experience. To receive my full value out of college, I lived in the dorms, worked on campus, ate on campus, and bled my team's colors at the games. There is nothing like living in a college dorm room as a broke college kid and eating the same cafeteria food week after week that makes you appreciate the finer things in life. The true value that I got out of college is that now I can appreciate everything I have and work hard for it.
