Morehouse College Top Questions

i learn great people skill and how to handle myself when face with different brands of people

I have gotten that college is a huge delay of gratification and is worth every second. All of the myths and stories that I heard about college as a high school student were true and college truly is what one makes of it. To be successful takes persistence, perserverance, and planning and with that I believe anyone could get the most out of college.

So far, I've gone from an immature boy to a dedicated and hard working man. Criminal Justice doesn't just require attendance, it requires hard discipline. Everything from the way we speak, to the way we present ourselves makes it evident to everyone around us that the program is no joke. We address everyone, no matter what age, as "Sir" or "Ma'm". Simply because it is the respectful thing to do, which is something society is lacking now a days. The program at SJVC has been valuable to me, because not only do i have a newfound respect for the people and law officials around me, but I now have a newfound respect for myself.

In order to become a Registered Nurse, one must learn about the human body and mind. The course of study I selected is required by San Diego City College. I believe it to be a thorough course that will easily meet my needs. I have chosen American Sign Language as my second language for three reasons:I took it in high school so I am already familiar with the basics; I believe it will be beneficial to my future employer and patients, and last but not least, I simply enjoy signing. As time permits, I intend to learn Spanish as well to further my ability to communicate with others. The requirements for Registered Nurses are pretty straight-forward. The State of California as well as the college, has set a criteria for which I intend to follow. I want to insure I am knowledgeable and well educated to perform the many duties required of an R.N. In order to achieve my career goal, this is the course of study I must complete.

What I have gotten out of my college experience was invaluable. I learned what it was like to live independently and be responsible for my own decisions. I learned how to solve real every day problems and how to manage stress. It was like being able to ride the bike of adulthood with training wheels. Although I did not get a job in the industry of my education, I felt that what I learned would prepare me for a job in the fashion design industry. I was not able to stay or reside in areas that were hiring for my education level, so I needed to look at another career that would allow me to continue designing independently, living in my area. It is very important to choose a career that will work for you in a good or poor economy, something that you can see yourself doing day in and day out. Listen to yourself: your head and your heart.

During my attendance at Anoka Ramsey Community College, I have discovered many things about myself. I have discovered that the world is much, much bigger than Cambridge, Minnesota. This discovery has made me want to explore and learn more. I have discovered that there are many different kinds of people and at a college the one thing that unites all these people is the common goal: to succeed in life and becoming successful through higher education. I have never been around so many people that have the same goal as myself, and it was quite nice! I have changed by major from nursing to education to student development/college counseling and back to nursing again. Being at college has secured my decision in becoming a nurse and took out all of the doubts I had about it. Attending college has broadened my mind and I feel good about being educated. Being educated is something that I value highly. My college experience isn't even close to being over yet, but so far, it has been quite the journey and I am excited to keep this long journey going.

"Maybe this world is another planet's hell" is a quote by Aldous Huxley that I muttered after recieving the last of my freshman year grades. I was put on academic probation and stripped of what little dignity I had left as a college student. I was a very ambitious student in high school, and even after Hurricane Katrina devastated my city of New Orleans, I continued to do well. After graduating with a 3.6 and in multiple clubs and societies, I chose Morehouse College as the institution of undergraduate studies. After a year of studying under incompetent professors (one of which who didn't even bother to show up to the final exam), my GPA was as low as my self-confidence. The most important aspect that i've gotten out of my college experience is that nothing comes easy in life, and nothing is simply handed to anyone for free. With desire and motivation, anything is possible. Even though I have made many mistakes in college myself, I understand that it is not too late to change my situation. College so far has been a great learning experience that has helped me grow both mentally and spiritually.

College experience is one of a kind. I was first introduced to college from my senior year in High School back in 2008. I was a duell enrollment student and from then on i have loved college. I feel it can better somebody mentally and physically. It gives you a self-esteem boost that you sometimes need and it keeps you thinking and constantly on the move. Everybody needs to experiance the college life. You meet new people and have a chance to better yourself and get ready for a hopefull and rewarding career. College has made me a better person, made me feel good about myself feeling as if I was becoming somebody and doing something so I could be proud of myself and make others proud of me. College is the way to go and is very rewarding.

College has opened my eyes to whole different light that i never knew existed. Not only learning in a field, that draws me but also meeting indivuals with different backgrounds. Not only my professors but also fellow students have made a impact on my life. With all these wonderful ideas and ways of life, has made me a well roundeded person.

The best advice i could myself if i went back in time would be time management. It is the most important thing about college, you have to know when to study and when to play, when to do homework and when to go out with your friends. If your time management is poor, it can lead to failure in class because you will have an uneven balance of the two lives in college. You must be able to balance the school life and the social life, and you always want to have your school in front but u have to have a very social life in order to keep you balance in school and keep you from crazy. i would tell myself about the pitfalls that come with college and managing your time correctly because if it is played with it can hurt your college sucess in a major way.

It is very important to have an idea of what your strengths are and where you want to be in life as an adult. As a high school senior, you may not have a concrete idea of where you want to be in the future but take the time to find out what your strengths are - what you enjoy doing that can earn you the money and recognition that you would like to get based on the things you would want to accomplish in life. With this knowledge of your strengths, do the research on which college or university offers the courses that can help achieve your career goals and then apply to them. Keep your grades high in school so that you can then get into the college of your choice. Be sure to always respect your parents or those that raised you because you are always their pride and joy. Always let them know how much you love and respect them by doing what they have asked of you and exceeding their expectations. Always keep these pieces of advice in front of you and you will never fail in life. Finally, take time to learn from your experiences.

Make a decision about your major and stick with it. Constantly changing majors slows you down far more than majoring in "the wrong field." Any undergraduate degree will help your future, and as long as you do not choose an area that you find uninteresting, it will be well-worth your time. Also, I know that you have a strong idea about what the next 50 years will probably bring, but life is always confusing and full of the unexpected obstacles. Make the best decisions you can for today and let the future you make the best choices she can in that future time Not only do you need to be willing to learn every day, but please search for something to learn each morning. Just because it is easy to study now, do not assume that knowledge will always come easily. Put in the effort to remember the material beyond the tests. It will help you in future situations and courses as well. Friends come and go, but you are always with your thoughts and God.

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would tell myself to take more challenging classes. I would have also told myself to spend more time studying rather than socializing with friends. Another point I would have mentioned is to apply for scholarships and financial aid early and take the ACT or SAT more times than I did. I would have also told myself to do get in the habit of doing community service projects and mentoring.

Undoubtedly, the skinny, 17 year old Kyle Jacob would be ecstatic to see a slightly taller Kyle Jacob who looks much older due to the stress of his first semester at Morehouse College. He would be excited that in nine months, his tufts of chin hair would evolve into a full beard that needed constant shaving. Im almost certain he would have many questions I couldnt answer, 18 year old Kyle has many priorities at Morehouse and little time to waste. "Listen closely", I would tell him, although I wouldnt need to, even the Kyle of today listens intently to a man trying to educate. "Focus" I would say. In highschool, many things deterred my focus as a student. With my 20/20 view on the past, I would break down our vices; girls, television and facebook. He would learn that by reducing the time spent on these things, it would clear up his schedule for more productive purposes, like scholarships. I would let him know that know that Morehouse is struggling financially and even if he did well, there was no guarantee that the school would be able to aid him financially. "Do scholarships for an hour a day".
