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 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.

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.
