The University of Tampa Top Questions

My college experience is not exactly the same as high school. College is like a ladder you are on top and almost getting there to success and by the time you are learning new things you thought you were not ever to learn in your life. College has a great impact in my life, but at the same time I still can not believe I am in school while everyone thought i was never going to even graduate from high school. I have learned you do not need anyone but believe in yourself and that is what really counts in life. Life is not easy, so keep on going living from life and enjoy it in college.

As a student at Legacy Early College High School, I have been attending college classes at Temple College in Taylor, Texas since my freshman year of high school. Being fourteen in the midst of twenty and fourty - year olds has made a tremendous difference in my brief educational experience. I value the views and life struggles of these fellow students, in that they have taught me many things. Be it through the words of encouragement before an exam, or during a speech in class, or even the tears streaming down their faces as they celebrate their triumphs in life. Although I sacrificed the traditional high school experience, I will always embrace my own unique experience within the walls of the Temple College classrooms in small town Taylor, Texas. Thank You.

College teaches you how to manage your time. It is necessary to be wise about how many classes you take, how much time during the day you have to study. Always be prepared and expect the unexpected. It is valuable to attend each class and be very weary of managing your time. I love the college experience it really makes you grow as a person.

There are many things that I have gotten out of my college experience, but to me the most important and valuable thing is a sence of guidance and direction for my future. I discovered the path that i want to take in my life to have a better future, and learned that if i am determined nothing can stand between me and my goal.

out of my college expierence i've gotten motivation. when i was younger and told everybody i want to be a pediatrician they all kind of gave me this wierd look. as i went through high school i was falling off track but now with college i've been working hard to keep good grades and i do it on my own without people having to push me to do these things.

My first year of college opened a window into my soul. I realized who I really was inside when I had to live on my own, far away from the influence of my family and friends. I learned to make decisions based solely on what I wanted to do, and in truth, it turned out to be far more difficult than I had imagined. In fact, it wasn't even the big decisions that would baffle me--it was simple questions like, "Would you like to go to A or B tonight?" or “Should I get another $20 out of the ATM?” These questions weren’t rocket science, but usually they were decisions that would either be made for me by circumstance or my parents. A valuable skill I cultivated in just one year of college has been the ability to manage the overwhelming stream of opportunity presented before me. I also discovered something even greater than my activity juggling skills: I discovered an iron will. I was able to stay true to myself and make decisions that coincided with who I am inside. College started my road to self-discovery, and this was the most rewarding experience of all.

Going to college has been a very rewarding experience. My first year I attended an out of state school, in a place where I had no family or friends. I had to make my own life and be an adult. Though it was difficult at first I really started to grow. I had always been dependent on my parents, but being away ay college showed me that I could now do everything on my own. I have always been independent but leaned on my parents for advise; going away to school helped me become the mature adult that I am today. My college experience showed me that I can do anything, that no obsticle is an issue, and even though you have to ask for help sometimes. Asking for help is a strong point for anyone because you are determined to succeed at all costs.
