I learned how to be an adult. I learned how to manage my time. I learned how to live with someone that was not a family member, who had a very different life style and belief system. I learned to advocate for myself and for others in need. I learned that I have no one to blame when things do not go right except myself. I learned how to study. I learned how to manage money. I learned accountability. I learned responsiblity. I learned that it is hard to follow the crowd and still stay true to my beliefs and values. I learned how to make difficult life changing decisions. I learned that I have a fantastic support system in my family. I became an adult!

College has allowed me to find or help find who i am in life and who i will become. As i came in to college i dint know what to expect. I was rather scared and lost in a completely new enviorment. coming from a conservitive family the social life was something new to me. But ive learned to communicate with other as well as to get along with others .College also taught me the value of being responsible,independent and truth worthy. Its an expirience that every teenager should go through .

What I have gotten out of my college experience so far is a different outlook on life. College life is very different from high school. When I first arrived it was wierd and sadening being away from my mom and sister that I had grown up from. College definitely matured me and made me stronger. For me I see college as the making or breaking point in being successful. High school was beneficial, but college you are more independent and you have to use the skills you were given even more. I have learned a lot through my friends at Syracuse. I was never the best speaker and I tended to be a little shy. Through observation and just hanging hanging out with a lot of my friends I have become a better people person and my speaking skills have gotten a lot better. College has made me a better person because I am more outgoing and I am not afraid to fail or try new things. I know who I am more inside and I know I have alot to offer while in college and once college is over. That is why college has been valuable to me.

Throughout my college career so far, I have learned many meaningful lessons, even beyond academics. College is definitely a difficult, emotional rollercoaster ride. This is why it's important to remain positive and keep in mind that life is short. An experience like this flies by so making the most of it is vital. It's best to apply your fullest effort into academics and create a social life that exudes happiness within yourself. College provides the opportunity to build meaningful relationships/friendships, and feel a sense of accomplishment and involvement. So, it's up to you to seize the opportunities that come your way.

I have gained new friends and have experience with equipment that I will be using in my future career. These opportunities aren't offered everywhere, so I am glad that I could attend this college.

There is so much to say about my college experience. I started attending Kaplan online around November of 2009. When I graduated high school in June of 2009 I thought college wasn't for me. Then I decided maybe I should look into it just for giggles. Well those giggles turnt into a 2 year program in which I graduate November of 2011. My degree is Associates Degree in Applied Science in Business Administration. I love working with children so I decided that maybe I would like to own a day care center someday. That what I started out thinking, then I started thinking and thought about changing that. Who knows I'm not done with my degree yet so I may change my mind again. I decided maybe I'll have an SPCA. I absolutely love animals, especially cats and I hate seeing them on the road. I thought okay I'm going make this education thing worth my wild. I'll collect any stray cat I see on the road and somehow get a certificate saying I can't give it back to the owner unless they get the animal a name tag with the names and numbers.

My college experience at Syracuse has given me a different world view. I think differently than I did a year ago , and I have a better grasp on how the world works.
