I graduated highschool, well with alot of help from teachers just passing me. I went to job corps and trained to be a medical assistant. my gpa went from 1.5 to 4.0 figure that! I am interested in all things medical and my goal now is to become a massage therapist working in hospitals and nursing homes to give aid and releaf to those who cant walk or even move. When i burst a disc a few years ago it was the massages and the heat that helped me move my muscles.

I'm only on the precipice of the Double Black Diamond run that my college experience is liable to feel like at some point or another. Having only been at college for three weeks now, I've actually gotten more from the experience so far than I expected. The most important part of the college experience is the education you recieve and the opportunities that this can open up for your future. Besides that, however, I've become a part of a huge network of students and former students that I can feel a bond with simply because we share an Alma Mater. After I get my class ring and graduate I can expect to meet people everywhere I go who will stop and talk to me simply because we've both gone through the same experience. This college gives me a place to belong, and I've found friendship, knowledge, and maybe someday a little love, here. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and this is a great place to wake up.

I have gotten a vast knowledge about my subject and basic knowledge of other subjects. Also i have felt free and encouraged to explore who i am as a person and to become a more developed and mature person in regards to not only my spiritual beliefs but my beliefs about my goal here on earth. after having spent two years in college now i have come to understand that my reason to be here on this planet is to not only help other people to determine their goals but to be the greatest person i can be for my family which i hope to start building in the future. i have found my destiny to revolve around my future family and becoming the supporting father which i know that i can be. college has been an interesting experience so far and i have thoroughly enjoyed it!

Discipline is a key factor in my college experience so far. Texas A&M has so much to offer but it's hard to only pick a few things to be involved with. Academics are very challenging but if there is a will, there is a way. I've lived in Aggieland as I grew up and established a love so strong for the school. Texas A&M University is heaven sent and everything it stands for is godly. We love out students, we love our community, and we love our state.

well i have been waiting for ever to get my college experience, i remember in my senior year thats all i dreamed about: i would have wacky and obserd dreams about my first day of college. when i finally got there id discovered that i was even more eager to go onto a program, so i started looking at colleges, institutes and trade schools that had the program i wanted, which was a vet technician program, than i dicovered pima medical institute. Now i know exactly where i want to go and look forward to starting there in october.

I have had a lot of experience with computers because mainly we used computers in the classroom. It has been very valuable because I could teach my friends and family members that don't have computer experience.

After my first year of college, I've realized my faults and how much harder I have to work for that "A". College is nothing like High School as we have so much freedom and based on our choices, our grades will reflect on it. It unfortunately took my the full first year term to finally be able to fix and remake my studying schedule. College has taught me to use my time wisely and to be able to multi-task school, work, home and relax time. I have a deeper meaning to gain my goal in which it is not all about the money but now about the satisfation of graduating and knowing that with my hard work I will be awarded and have the sweet taste of success.

My college experience has shapped who I am and who I will become. Not only was my intellect stimulated and developed but my ideals, beliefs, and actions were challenged as well to help me grow into a competent, pro-active, usefull, creative individual in the world. You will know like I did that you've had a real, valuable college experience when you meet the general goal of walking across the stage and you're handed the diploma that you've worked so hard for you and you realize that you are receiving much more than a piece of paper and a handshake. You are recieving a passport that requires not only the classes you've taken but also the endurance, the experience, the diligence, the comraderie that are necessary to fuel your pathway into the world. That feeling along with my Aggie Ring has been the two most invaluable things I have ever recieved.

Never have I ever changed so much, learned so much, met so many unique people, or been so comfortable with who I am than after I came to Texas A&M. Being independent for the first time in my life, I found the freedom to almost intimidating. But at school I was able to learn how to adapt to such autonomy without going so far as being irresponsible or making life altering mistakes. I learned that the rest of the world isn't the judgemental, scrutinizing place I thought it was. We are free to be who we want and to adhere to whatever form of personal expression suits us best, and there will always be someone you can relate to and who will love you for your uniquity. I took a greater step towards growing up, and I finally discovered the meaning of the words hard-work, determination, challenge, and spontanaeity. Adulthood is just around the corner, and the real world is becoming a nearer reality. I feel prepared! And I anticipate a successful and exciting future with the skills and lessons learned at A&M. Thanks and gig'em!

My first year of college taught me many valuable things that I will use throughout my life. For the first time I was mixed with students from all over the country and world that had very different view points than myself. I learned to keep an open mind when talking to others about their politics, religion, and culture. I really feel like I've grown alot as a person this past year. I learned to rely on myself and take full reponsibility for my own actions. If I didn't study for a test and then bombed it, then it was my fault. There was nobody to blame but myself. But the same was also true when I aced a test or won a scholarship. It gave me confidence that I can make it on my own.
