LeTourneau University Top Questions

When I was a senior in high school , I was attending University of North Texas, so the college transition was a non-issue. Make more friends and save more money.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice as a senior I would tell myself to get on every scholarship you can as soon as possible. I would not want myself o wait as long as I did and wonder where I'm going to go to school and how I'm ging to pay for it. I also would tell myself not to stress over anything because something special will come to you if you work hard enough. To know that you try hard and keep your head up will be a great feeling in the future when you become something that people think you will not. It is a matter of who wants it and who goes and gets it. So I would tell mysekf to go and get it because it is yours first.

I would tell myself to stop worring about other peoples expecations of me. I would warn myself to avoid social pressures that won't matter in the long run after all. I would urge myself to consider the long process I put myself into because of falling to peer pressure. I would tell me about all the work I got myself into at Delaware Tech, Letourneau University, and now Liberty University. Mainly, I would urge myself not to waste all the opportunites that I had. I would call myself to become a leader not just a follower.

My high-school-senior-self would be mighty surprised to see the college-sophomore-me! I have changed a lot, and I have a lot of advice I can give. I would tell my high-school-self that I should prepare for college by having an open mind, but a strong enough will to stand by my opinions and beliefs when they are challenged. I would warn my younger self not to be afraid to ask for help or guidance, because this new college freedom also comes with a responsibility for my actions and wellbeing. Most of all, I would tell myself not to underestimate the power of sleep, diet, exercise, and organization. By keeping those four things a priority, life will be ten times easier emotionally, mentally, academically, and physically. I think my high-school-senior-self would have been a lot less overwhelmed freshman year if she had all the wonderful advice I could give to her today.

I would tell myself to put more effort into my schoolwork. I'd make sure that I paid attention and retained more information, and held a higher GPA, because it does matter later on.

The advice I would give myself would be to get serious and figure out a way to pay for college. I am the first in my family to attend college, so I had no clue what to do. So, for a couple of semesters now I have been paying my own way through college. It’s tough trying to get as many hours as I could at my job and finding time to study. I wish I would have paid attention to my teachers and guidance counselors about financial aid. I just always thought that I would get the help I need, but I was wrong. It is hard work, but in the end I know it will be all worth it once I have my diploma in my hands.

I would definitely tell myself to focus more on classes, even the ones that don't seem important. Save more money over the summer, and work less during the semester. When the service engine light comes on, don't ignore it, you need your car to last 4 years or more. Don't stay up late. Just don't. Don't procrastinate on homework, especially when homework is a research paper worth 20{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of your grade. Don't worry so much. You'll make it, probably.

If I could go back and give my self advice I would tell myself to save money. School is expensive and hard, but if you have money that is one less thing to worry about. I would also tell myself to try to earn more college credit. Many of my friends do not have to take certain classes because they came in with credits which is something I should have done. So to sum up my advice, find any way you can to make college easier. The easier college is the lessed stressed someone can be the more that person will enjoy is education and college experience.

Do the best you can do because in the end, it will all pay off.

If I could give my high-school self advice for entering into college, I would emphasize that relationships are what matters most. Of course you are going to school to get an education, but what makes or breaks your experiences while at college are the relationships that you build. These friendships that you share with other people are what help you get through the tough weeks of schoolwork and tests. They encourage you and give you strength to continue on. They remind you that the tough learning environment at a university is worth the long hours and all-nighters because you have friends who are doing it with you. In light of all this, the important thing to remember is to make time for your friends and to put some effort into developing good relationships. Put down the book every once in a while to talk to your roommate. If you have an opportunity to help someone out, don’t hesitate to do it. You can have friendships that last a lifetime if you make an effort to develop strong relationships while in college.

Don't sweat it. There's nothing to worry about - college is great. You will have everything you have ever wanted. Freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want. The ability to study things you have always dreamed of learning about. Friends to do stupid things with. Enough time to kick back and enjoy every day that goes by. And best of all - a minifridge. High school may have been rough, but just hold on, because college will be the fulfillment of everything you've worked for. Just wait for it.

College is about exploring and becoming who you really are. If you're someone who likes to have fun and doesn't take school very seriously, you will find like minded people who share this ideal and will foccus on the fun along with you. If you work hard and go to college to learn as much as you can and to excel in acadmecis, you will find people who work hard as well. You will find people who share the same religious beliefs, political views, ideals, and life goals as you do. Embrace the opportunity to fully develop your personality, your intrests, your style, and your lifestyle. Explore who you are, be open to new experiences, new types of people, and learning new things. Don't sell yourself short by not trying new things or not meeting new people. Don't go to college with the expectation that you will come back a new person - go with the expectation that you will come back having invested in and explored the qualities that make you unique.

I have gotten to know many special individuals and have grown to love them. The fellow students at this school are, for the most part, great people. The value of this school to myself is mainly the friends I make and slightly the education.

My college exprience has taught me so much about myself and how amazing people are overall. I pushed myself to limits that I did not think were possible and my college experience allowed me to dream and really decided what is best for me.

My college experience has given me the ability to make my thoughts into solid beliefs. I go to a very diverse school where I am challenged to think for myself, and to question why I believe what I believe . I have been able to openly discuss opposing views with friends, peers, and professors , who have given me insight and guidance about opposing views. It has been wonderful to live and learn in an environment and college, where I am encouraged grow and think for myself and to back up my beliefs with evidence and passion.

The aviation program of LeTourneau University is one of the best in the world. The basic aviation classes that I have taken will make me master the basics of aviation studies.

To begin, this is not the first University that I have attended. It is the third, and I truly appreciate and enjoy the fact that it is a Christian, Bilble based, instituion. I thouroghly enjoy the GAPS program, and wish that I had known about it a lot sooner. I would probably have two bachelors degrees by now and a masters. Everyone has been really understanding and positive. They truly want to see people achieve the goal, of the education that they desire. Not all schools are like that. Some Universities strive to make classes so difficult, that there is no way that you can pass the course by only taking it once. They want you to have to repeat courses, in order to increase school revenue.

There are many things that I have taken from LeTourneau University whether it be academically, spiritually, or from friends. LeTourneau is academically demanding and expects its students to do well. I have been pushed to do my best and strive to be a better student and person. LeTourneau cares about its student's spirituallity. We pray before many of our classes and each professor gives a small devotional before class. I have seen how powerful God is and what prayer can do. I have built many friendships here. I keep in touch with many of the graduates from my floor. It is great to know that many of these friendships I have now will continue on even after I graduate. I have the priviledge to be an RA on my floor. This helps me to get to know more of the students on my floor and gives me leadership skills.

What I have gotten out of my college experience was the will to push myself for what I want in life. Not only have I recieved an education in certain subject but I also got a better understanding of how I want my life to be and where I want to excel at . School offers me life experience on what it is that I want for myself and it not only helps me to be a better man it helps me to be a better person . For me the value of school is a foundation to better a persons life skills and wisdom.

From my college experience, I have gain much. most importantly, I have discovered who I am as an individual. I have also gained vluable knowledge that I will take with me for the rest of my life. Next, I have made friendships that will always be there.
