If I could go back in time and give myself advice about college it would be to stick with it and not get distracted with other things going on in my life. I regret not finishing my massage therapy program. If I could do it all over again I would make college more of a pirorty and would have worked harder in my classes. If this would have happened I would have a completly different life to this day.

I have gotten many things out of my college experience so far and I am only a freshman. The thing I'd like to focus on is that at Ashford University I feel like an adult. The feeling of responsibility and respect is the best feeling. My teachers in high school treated me like I didn't know anything. In college, I actually feel like an adult and that I have good ideas. This is very important to me because it makes me try harder because it affects my reputation as an adult and student. It has been very valuable to attend because this is the time that everyone will focus on in the rest of my life. Strangers will ask me where I attended school and what I majored in. Now that I have been realizing that I am an adult and will be respected along with my ideas, I try harder to act like an adult and take the responsibility given to me. This is extremely important fo rthe rest of my life because it will prepare me for the responsibility I must take on when I have a job and a home to take care of.

College really gets you ready for the real world. Because the teachers tell you here you can do this or not, you can show up or not. Its up to you to make the right choice. You really start to find out how is ready to move on with their life's. Thats what I have learned from being in college.

So far my experience going back to school after 8 years has been the most rewarding, more so than the time spent at a classroom during my college years. Having the opportunity to work from home at my own pace, has giving me the freedom to continue my life and lifestyle without major interruptions. Accomodating to my needs in order to fulfill my dreams and my academic goals present a great value in my life. It has re-vamped enthusiasm to not only complete my major, which is Child Development but also add a minor in Psychology, as well as, plant the idea to continue further and go after my Master's in Education. Attending school may have come once again as a way to bring a meaning to my life, who would have thought that all this time I was holding myself back, due to economic problems and personal issues. The beginning of my personal fulfillment as an individual has started again with my re-enrollment in school.

My college experience has given me a greater divergency of scope on the world and in my career. Increasing my knowledge and experience has propelled my ability to understand and has given me the opportunities needed to apply principals and interactions as a professional. These rewards from education has proven to be valuble in all aspects of my life including a greater sense of self and increased self esteem.

I have received good advice from my instructors on such subjects as Psychology and English. It has been valuable for me to attend Ashford University because I found that they offer the type of cirriculum I was looking for and school is online.

I have learned how to juggle my work, school and home life. I must say it's been difficult. I learned how to have better patients with people and the things life throws at you. I have set a great example for my son by showing him I'm chasing my dreams to make things easier for our family. He talks about what he's gonna do when he go's to college which makes me very proud.
