Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

It has allowed me to meet many different types of people that I would have never met in my small town. It has also opened my eyes to all the iinjustices in the world and has made me want to do something, make a change and not just sit back and accept everything for the way it is.

I returned to school at 36 out of necessity. I had been in construction for some years and hurt my shoulder, at the same time the housing market fell apart. I returned to school after not having been a student for 17 years, and achieved a 3.8 GPA in the Computer Science Associate program at Manchester Community College in NH. IT was the best decision I've made in my adult life. I have developed a new sense of confidence and belief in my boundless ability to attain new heights in my life. I'm hungry for each new class I take, and interesting topic I can discover. I could be a poster boy for going back to school!! I do, however, need assistance if I am to remain in school in 2011.

I started attending night classes in the field of Computer Science at my local community college in my freshman year of highschool. Not only was this a creative outlet for me, as I had been working on websites on my spare time, but it gave me a better understanding of real world application and an unending appreciation for learning, which highschool lacked severely. By going to college so early, I was also far more prepared for a career in my field, and was able to get employed as an intern in a Security and Development firm named Novacoast (where I currently am still employed). With a career and a passion for learning, it became apparent that without having attended as early as I had, I surely would have missed the oppportunity to have had the impressions of an older generation influence me on a philosophical and ethical stance, as well as the teachers understanding but strict policies which instilled fortitude and a steadfast resolution. For that, I find my past and continuing college experiences invaluable in helping pave the road to suceeding in my aspirations.

I have learned time management and how to take care of things on my own. I have learned the value of money and hard work. I also have learned how hard work can pay off and how doing your best regardless if you get that 100 on a test always feels great. I have also been able to experience the rush of the game when watching your football team score and staying up late for college school traditions. This experience has been an amazing one and one I will take with me to tell my children and grandchildren.

Attending Texas A&M University in College Station has been a wonderful experience for me.

Because of my class and work experiences, I have developed skills that will benefit me in grad school and in my career. I have had opportunities to work with organizations in leadership positions and use my talents and skills in graphic design, marketing, and consulting. In graduating with honors from Texas A&M University, I have achieved one of my goals; this, in turn, has propelled me on to my next goal of earning my Master's degree in Sports Administsration with an emphasis on promotion and marketing. With my degree and experiences from Texas A&M, I know I am ready for the next step.

As a college student, I have gotten more than I could ever ask for. I came here thinking I was just coming for an education, but I have gotten so much more already. I am so happy with the choice that I made because Texas A&M University has become a home to me. It is a place that I am proud to attend classes, and a place that I am proud to live. I have made friends who I know will be in my wedding someday and have met people who have helped me in more ways than I could ever ask. This school is a beautiful place, and it is filled with the greatest people in Texas: Aggies. I am proud to call myself an Aggie and I am proud to be surrounded by fellow Aggies.

I got friends, a bunch of people to support me. My education, to help me start a new career. My computer to oganize my life. I am trying to make the most out of this experience.. Meet new friends, and have a good time.

I have learned how to deal with people who are different from me in many more ways than I had been exposed to grwoing up.

Education is the dominant ingredient of not only the individual’s future experience but also his mentality, morality, and capability to assess and make decisions that possess the potential to sway the course of the chosen path of fulfillment to an entirely different destination. One who does not attempt to grasp the importance of education does not deserve to show his fullest potential, if for no other reason, for lack of experience to accomplish tasks and grasp concepts unique to the desired occupation. However, aside from professional requirements, knowledge allows us to assess worldviews that alter one’s moral beliefs. The only way to prevent the blind submission to an equally blind leader is to understand what you believe in application to politics and religious orientation. Biology alone holds controversial topics including the origin of life, homosexuality, and the existence of a divine being. You will believe what you have always been told. Therefore you shackle your potential by never searching for truth through delicate investigation. Never be content with the knowledge you have halfheartedly collected lest you be bound to a life of a goldfish in an artificial world, ignorant of the beauty and complexity waiting for limitless discovery.

Although I am currently a sophomore, I have grown and changes so much since graduating high school. I have expanded my horizons in more ways than I ever imagined. I have learned the true meaning of hard work and dedication. I have also learned what it feels like to be rejected. Since I do attend a large university, competition for organizations is stiff. The first organization I applied for, I did not get accepted. This has taught me to get up, dust myself off and try harder the next time. I attended a very small high school where I was never truly familiar with rejection. Coming to Texas A&M has greatly prepared me for the "real world".
