Texas A & M University-Kingsville Top Questions

It has already open doors for me and it is a spring board for my future. I come from a home where neither my mom or dad graduated from a 4 year school. I will graduate and enjoy my college time, while I show my younger brothers and sisters that they can do it as well. It is simple, I will succeed because I don't have any other choice. Thanks for your time as time is only promised for now.

My college experience has shown me that anything is possible if you just put your mind to it. Having to focus on each semester while raising four young children was not easy, however I was determined to graduate and make my goal of becoming a certified teacher in the state of Texas a reality. The staff and faculty at this school made sure that I was able to attain that goal and were there to help every step of the way along my journey. I have learned how to juggle time and responsibility to successfully complete the goals set for myself in the time allotted. I wanted my children to see that anything in life is possible with determination and dedication. There were decisions I had to make and changes that my family had to adjust to, but in the end it all came together. Granted, I had to put some aspects of my life on hold such as social aspects, but it was well worth it, and now my family can reap the benefits of my degree. The hard work paid off and this college experience is one I will never ever forget for the rest of my life.

Growing up in a small town where opportunities, whether they were educational, financial or even social were hard to come by, attending college was not something I was going to pass up. Though Texas A&I University is also located in a small town, my experiences there were eye-opening. I learned to approach situations with an open mind and a tolerant heart. The lessons I learned during this time, both educational and social, have become invaluable and have been passed on to my own students in my own classrooms. I have now reached a time in my life where I believe I need to further my education so that I can pursue my goals to help others understand and experience their own valuable lessons in life.

I have gotten a lot of college experiance for my first semester its nothing compared to high school and the reason i say its nothing compared to high school because your pretty much on your own the teacher's don't care if you don't come to class or there not going to tell you how you cant dress and also they wont tell you anything if you have to much facial hair. And when you have to use the restroom you don't have to raise up your hand and tell your teacher that going, just walk out of the class room and go. Its valuable to attend college because you learn a lot of different stuff in your classes and you have the opportunity to make something out of you because without a degree you practically won't get anywhere in life it will be complicated for you in the long run, so thats pretty much why its valuable for me.

After only a semester here at Texas A&M University I find myself getting a better understanding on how critical thinking takes affect and how I have faced the facts that I have matured into a young responsible adult who controls his valuable time on studying, recreational sports, and more studying. Being active and spending hours of studying can really affect the way you act, whether it’s because of stress or just because you have no time for family or friends. Emotional intelligence is a vital bullet for college students. It has come to test my mind in ways I haven’t even thought of. Critical thinking has gotten me to see past the simple image and has required me to get a resourceful, structured answer for a well developed topic. Spending free time back in high school was fun, but getting to make your own schedule and writing in when you watch television or when you study gives you more responsibility, the world is what you make it. Using your Emotional intelligence to control your anger, your depression, and your troubles and leave them outside the door will in the end make you a better person.

I have learned responsibility at most. It is nothing like high school were you have your teachers telling you when your work is due. If you forget to turn it in, it is rarely accepted late. I also like the fact that you meet different people of all types of races.

Now as a Senior, i had such a great time. I remeber when I first started, I was lost and curious of many things. I wondered who would help me get though college and what was going to be planned for me as a senior. My experience here was crazy and at a fast pace. I joined organizations,( ROTC) that made me strong both mentally and emotionally. My freshman year was blind but as i started to push forward i was able to familiarize myself with my surroundings. I got a job which has helped me gain experience for my future, until now im able to work with high school students to get them on the same track as i am now. I assist them with applying for ACT exams, Finacial Aid, Scholarship and other issues to get them to get into universities. Attending college has always been rewarding, an education no one will ever be able to take away from me. With an education i will be able to further myself in life to find a career and live a happy stabled life. im greatful for what i have gained thoughout my college experience.

What I have gotten out of my college experience so far is so many things that are to explain. I have made many friends here that I can see myself being long time friends with them. Also learned the many different assets my major has to offer. But most importantly is I have been able to know my professors in a one to one leve I never expected I would be able to achieve this once I graduated high school. I have learned how to study and do my homework with out any problems, but if I ever did I knew there was always help available for me, which I take full advantage of. Also becoming responsible for myself financially and academically getting everything done on time with out hesitation. over all I would not trade these years for anything nor this university.

I have gotten a huge amount of life that i would have never gotten unless i have lived on my own, and the college experience that you can only recieve unless you attend college for the first time. There is no experience in the world like the one you experience in college.

As a freshman in college, the best college experience I've had so far involves the ever dreaded subject of English. More specifically, my best college experience is a result of an English Composition class. Due to my instructor's ingenuity, I have overcome hurdles in writing I've had as a result of high school english. Instead of writing to a standard, my teacher inspires me to write for the sake of writing. As a result, my writing has become more developed, my ideas more understandable, and my overall attitude to writing improved. Although I will not, if I were to discountinue my college education at the end of this semester, then I will leave with a more developed command of the English language in general, because of my English Composition instructor teaching me to love the vehicle of communication just as much as communication itself.
