Middle Tennessee State University Top Questions

I have learned a lot through my college experience in the realm of intelligence, but also in terms of wisdom as well. I feel that I have grown enormously in maturity since leaving high school in Chattanooga, TN. After my first year at MTSU, every last one of the friends that had travelled with me to MTSU had decided to return to Chattanooga for miscellaneous reasons. I enjoyed the university and had made plenty of friends already, so I did not follow them to Chattanooga. However, this made my sophomore year feel like a second freshman year as I made a point to make new friends. However, it was very easy at this school. People seemed to want to meet new people as badly as I did. The majority of the students were extremely friendly. I am a pre-medical student. I believe I have grown in intelligence greatly. I can always notice a difference between my understanding of particular concepts at the beginning and at the end of each semester. Also, the advising staff has really helped me put my best foot forward in terms of medical schools. Hopefully, I will soon be attending one.

Yes, i need knowlege.

I first started college at NOC in the fall of 2008. I had never planned on attending college because I went to Autry Tech for early childhood for two years and thought that would be good enough. Once I had finished Autry Tech and got a job at a local daycare, I decided I wanted to be more than just a teacher; I wanted to be a well educated teacher who could inspire little ones to go for the unreachable. So I started my College career in child development. Through college I so far have learned the domains of children’s learning, areas of development and so much more. By taking college courses I have learned how to teach children to where it is not to challenging but not too easy. College provides opportunities for people to learn and grow with people who have the same passion and will power to help. Children are our future and I believe by becoming educated I can help make Oklahoma a better state.

I have learned from my college experience, that I can prevail at tasks that I thought were impossible. I have taken college algebrae online, and although it was a struggle for me, I made a B in the class. For this I am proud of myself. By going back to school, I know that many doors are going to be opening for me, that otherwise may have not been opened for me. It is a challenge going back to school after 20 years, but I feel that the knowledge gained, will only help prepare me for bigger and better challenges in my life. I feel that I am a stronger person for my expereiences, and going back to school has been a big part of that. College is a place of growth, and age does not matter. To stop learning, is to stop growing.

I have so far attended my first semester of college at Del Tech after not being in a physical college since 2002. I have realized just how smart and intelligent I am just from this first semester I so far have managed to maintain an "A" average while obtaining the social aspects of college and especially after just recently getting divorced and out of the active military this is an awesome experience for me and a way for me to transition back to the civilian side. Hopefully the rest of the semesters continue to help me excel towards my goal of get my veterinary technician certification and bachelors in biology so more opportunities open up for me.

From my college experience, I have had matured dramatically. Being on my own for the first time has opened my eyes to all different type of people and experiences. I no long have a closed mind about diversity and actually embrace it. I love being around people from all different backgrounds and learning from them. My college experience thus far has been life altering and changed my perspectives on people. I am looking forward to the new changes I will experience as I continue my college education. College has been valuable to attend not only for the education purpose, but also for the reasonse I listed above. If I had not attened I would still be immature and dependent on others. My mind would never have been opened up to learning to love people from all different backgrounds. I am very privilaged to have the opportunity to attend college , which is something that many people will never experience. Knowing this makes me understand why some people have the views on other people and life that they do have, which allows me to understand the beliefs that some nonprofessional people hold.

In this first semester, already I have learned so much about my subject in depth and have developed a deep craving to learn more. I didn't have this when I entered college. Also, I've made so many wonderful friends! There are some people that I know will continue to stay in touch even after college is over and done. But by far the most valuable thing is the pressure of having a good work ethic. I'm working harder than I ever have before and yet I only grow to love it more each day. The delight of accomplishment is something that we all strive for: to know we've done something worthwhile. College has certainy been worth my while in that I've matured and grown, being thrown into many different situations with conflicting beliefs and ideas. It has helped me to learn to know just what it is that I believe in and who I am as a person. Slowly, I know that college will help define me in every area. So far, I'm still just the same old me, but I can guarantee that that is soon to change.

I have been very successful in my field, and I attribute this to my first Bachelor of Science degree, which I obtained from MTSU. I have another BS in Education, and have almost completed my MEd. I will be working towards my PhD next! School and education has been so rewarding for me, not just financially, but in every other avenue of my life. I have met and maintained lifelong friends and contacts that have made my college experiences so rewarding. College is expensive, but it is a definite investment, as if putting money into stocks, or a money market account. College is not for everyone, but it can be rewarding for the ones who want to put forth the effort and continue to learn. Any further education in any field is so rewarding, financially and socially. I am, and will always be a proponent of post-secondary education. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply for this scholarship. Priscilla Omofoma
