I have gotten a lot from the school from the professers that actually go by the school contrated. But other then that there has been a lot of different things I wish that people would not get away with. I have learned that no mater what type of school there is they will always bend the rules for the sports people.

College has taught me to question the answers that my professors and other students have given me. College is not about learning all of the answers to life's challenges, but instead to create and form yourself into the individual that will be beneficial in society. Spring Arbor has provided me with experiences that have challenged me and increased my personal knowledge. When graduating next year, I do feel prepared to be a critical participant within the field of finance.

My college experience has been valuable to me because I have realized that while speaking up for yourself may be a double-edged sword sometimes, it is always better to speak up for something you believe in, even if the consequence may not be so appealing in the end. As long as you can feel good about your decisions and know that what you did was right for yourself, there should be no regrets in the end.

Going into college is always an adventure. You know what to expect, but then again you really don't. You're filled with excitement, fears, expectations, and emotions as the summer after you graduate gets closer to the following fall. For me personally, I did not want to leave high school. I don't really like change and the idea of new people and a new place to call home terrified me. Little did I know, these exact apprehensions I had before going in, became the exact reasons I didn't want to leave on move out day. My first year of my college experience has taught me more than any other year of my life. Many say you go to college for an education, and even though this is true, you get a much greater diverse experience than just the classroom learning. I have discovered so much more about who I am and what I stand for. Being off on your own, away from home allows you the privilege to shine and develop into who you want to be. The opportunities are endless in college and it is in your best interest not to miss out on them!

The amount of things that I have learned since I've attended Spring Arbor, is monumental. Not only have I learned from my classwork, but I have also learned how to be a God loving Christian in a world where people struggle to be themselves daily. Since coming here I have been given the opportunity to be myself, and learn who exactly I want to be when I graduate.

I found my experience at Monroe Community College to be very beneficial. I have to admit, the thought of going to community college for two years did not make me very excited. However, as I look back after finishing my last year there, I am very grateful that I attended. I now have my associate degree in Early Childhood Education, and through the program at MCC I have realized important aspects in helping me make future decisions and career choices. By the end of my program I realized that I love the school setting, but being a teacher is not for me. I am now transferring and continuing my degree in school psychology. Through a placement I was given by MCC in an elementary school, I was able to further explore this career and shadow those in the field of school counseling. I am very thankful with the education program at MCC for providing me with the opportunities I have experienced. I feel prepared and confident to transfer to a four year college. I feel like I have been given a great foundation to build on, no school debt so far, all my credits transferred, you can?t beat it!

I have been in the workforce for the last 10 years. I was recently fired from my job after years of loyal service. The experiences I am getting in college are nes that will allow me to move ahead in my life. The career feield I have chosen will allow me to grow and have a steady and stable proffession.

Attending Spring Arbor University went beyond any of my expectations. Anewed spirituality, real friends, and an initiative to learn floods my first two years in college. The chapel services are incredible. A live worship band, new speakers, and great fellowship keeps the week fresh and driving. On days when I feel skipping out for the day but after leaving the service I know that the service was exactly what I needed. In these times of fellowship friendships and bonds are made right from the start. In Spring Arbor orientation students are placed into a "Core" group. It is a group of freshman with a faculty and student advisor that have a class, camping trip, and many fun events together. Because of this program I have established two of my closest friends on campus. Faculty friends are common. Professors are passionate and genuinely interested in each student's life. With this passion students feel encouraged to continue studies. When it's all over, and summer break begins students are excited for the break but torn from friends. When vactions are over and the journey back to school begins it is in fact leaving home, only to be welcomed by another.

The most that I have gotten out of my college experience so far has been a deeper and more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Througout my struggles, I have learned a way to cling to God in times of trouble. I have been encouraged to grow deeper in Christ, rather than be harassed for being a believer. This has changed my life in so many ways because I understand how vulnerable these years are in terms of finding my identity. I have been given the opprotunity to find my identity in Christ. This has not only made me a stronger person, but it has also given me the courage to be a leader driven by honesty, integrity, and heart. God has preserved me both sexually, and morally at SAU, and I have had the opprotunity to make life-long friendships. I have also been able to learn about many of the Religious, Political, Economic, Psychological, and Education systems that continue to corrupt America and have discovered a new passion as to how I can go about helping these systems benefit all Americans, instead of a select few. I have found purpose, passion, courage, and strength while attending Spring Arbor University.

It has taught me that I can be anything. I love attending college . It also has to me to come out of my shell some and to stop being so shy. It has been valubable to attend to make sure i earn my degree.
