Forget telling yourself that High School was ever complex, because compared to college it's a peice of cake. One starts to feel the stress of college long before the quarter has even began. If there is something to learn it is this: Senioritious, we all thought was bad but now try getting back into gear for an entirely different course load and less procrastination if you want to do well and stay on top. One learns to be diligent if they ever wish to succeed and learns that this is just a whole nother chapter of life that you have to make the most of and endure.

During my college experience, so far, I have learned so much. Not only am I being educated but I am being forced to be independent as well as more social. I am learning the value of decision making skills, communication skills, and life lessons. I have learned that everyone is human and that everyone makes mistakes. I walked into school on my first day, nervous and confused. Now, I look at everyday as an opportunity to meet someone new, to connect with people, and to make new friends. Without the attending school, I would not be encouraged to step outside my box and meet new people. I would not be able to ask questions from numerous resources. Most importantly, I would not be forced to become more independent and take control of the life that I am living. Not only am I getting an excellent education but I am realizing that new experiences are a great learning experience for numerous reasons.

Starting at San Francisco State University has been a new and valuable experience. I have realized it takes more to attend college than a high school diploma. I have learned to be more open to new experiences and others. With such a diverse campus, I have come to find myself a diverse and open person.

College has definitely opened my eyes to the world. It's been awesome meeting so many different people and taking interesting classes. I find college valuable because of all the experiences and knowledge you gain along the way. I've gained new and important friendships and information from all of my classes. I will never regret going to college.

My college experience went far deeper than expanding my social network. Its arms reached further into my core; it didn't stop at my IQ. When I began my academic life as a college freshmen I didn't understand myself as well as I do now. I left high-school an emotionally beaten young women who was determined to make the best out of college's promise of a "fresh start." It did not let me down. I have continually rediscovered myself within my college's numerous classrooms. I studied not only to recieve an A, but to bath in the satifaction that I had accomplished something that I could apply in both my daily life and my future career. So, to me, college was life changing. It was a sanctuary of sorts. It became a home-away-from-home. It helped me mature. It helped me to grow.

The most important thing that I have gotten out of my college experience is really becoming a better person through all the challenges that we're presented in front of me, the devotion, perseverance, hard work, and obstacles that I had to overcome. Everyday, I learned so many new things I never knew, matured, overcome ignorance, and hope that one day I will make a difference in this world. I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to go to college when so many people all over the world never had the chance to, although they desire so much. Despite financial difficulties, I never thought twice of this once in a lifetime chance and will not regret it. Every minute was worth it and I still have so much to learn with so little time. I will be going back to school soon to pursue a career in dentistry. This is the difference I want to make in this world and a way to reach out to those in need. I hope I can be given the assistance I need. "Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin." -Mother Teresa

I have gotten a lot out of college this past year. I have gained much more knowledge and experience. I can say that it was fun meeting new people and sharing that experience of learning with people that value it. My classes have taught me things I didn?t know before. It is true when they say, ?You learn something new everyday?. I am exited to continue my education. I plan to graduate from Valencia Community College and then transfer to UCF for the Bachelors Degree in Social Sciences. It is valuable for me to attend because it is my future that is going to benefit from this. Not only it will benefit me, but it will benefit my family as well. I recommend people to make the most out of their education and continue if possible. It might be a sacrifice at the beginning, but at the end the rewards are worth it. I can easily stop school and dedicate my time to working and taking care of my family. But I don?t, because I refuse to settle for less. I want my daughter to see that an education is very important to succeed in life.
