Im currently starting to attend a college by the name Career Care Intitute. I have had orientation in this college and it has been a great experience as of now. This school has opened my mind to many opportunities and chances for my future. The staff at Career Care Institute is strictly of professionals so they tend to provide us with exactly that profesionality. It's going to be a great experience and of great challenge to attend this college but I know that I am capable of that and more. They are very strict and follow all policies and rules so that will help me get a better education and better understanding of how life is in the "real world." It's gonna be of great value to attend college because not only are they preparing me for a greater future but it will also be in the field that I most likely enjoy because I enjoy helping people and this career will help me succeed in all those aspects of my life.

It has been valuable for me to attend college ,because education is important

My college experience has provided me with the ability to think analytically and critically. It has taught me fairly clear communication skills. I attended a study abroad program to Italy, which allowed me to live in a small Italian city for five weeks and experience classical Greek art in person. This was probably one of the most valuable of my college experiences, because it exposed me to a completely new culture and introduced me to wonderful new people.
College has provided me with a better understanding of the literary canon, the second most valuable experience I gained from attending college. It has given me insight into our cultural history.

I feel I have been able to far better find myself as a person in my time at college than I did in my previous eighteen years. Before college, I expected myself to be a neurosurgeon, and a future salary was my primary concern. From meeting other students and professors of varied backgrounds and aspirations, I learned that my previous career goal, not coincidentally one that was pushed by my parents, was not for me. I learned that I was not a man focused on a six-figure salary, and I was not a man for the hard sciences, but rather a writer and a teacher at heart. More valuable than a differential equations class or a chemistry class was beginning the process of finding my true self. I cannot say that I have found the real Morgan Shnier just yet, but as it stands, I know that he is not a scientist or a salaryman, and that the University of Arizona has taught me that the real Morgan Shnier hopes to be a writer and professor. The most important, most valuable knowledge I have gained in my college experience is knowledge of myself.

I feel like college has really enabled me to hone in on myself and my own development. I've been able to discover more and more of myself and have been able to grow more as a person which I think has made it valuable to attend. I came into college not knowing what I wanted to do, and by taking gen eds I was able to realize my potential and discover what I wanted to do with my life. College has made it possible for me to focus on myself and my goals while learning to be independent. Without college I don't think I would be who I am today.

I have learned that is is not too late to go back to school and further my education . Even after having five children I am back in school full time and realize that even though this is something I should have done a long time ago, school is a great expirience. Returning to school has made my children more proud of me than they have ever been. THey see me doing it and it gives them hope that they can accomplish anything they want in life. Learning is something that never gets old and I hope to continue on with school until I have reached the maximum degree possible, and then start earning more degrees in different fields of study. I know that once I am able to get a great job helping others and doing ewhat I love I will also be able to make a difference in so may peoples lives. i will help strangers and loved ones alike. I will be able to care for my disabled father and my aging grandmother the way they should be taken care of. I now have a much stronger, much more positive outlook on life, I believe everything is possible.

Attending college at age 19 and again in my mid-twenties, provided me with two very different experiences. I lacked the drive and discipline necessary to take college seriously during my first attempt. However, age has granted me the wisdom to discover what I truly want to do with my life and the maturity necessary to follow through and acheive my goals. Higher education has opened up doors for me that I wouldn't have had access to otherwise. It has made me realize that my potential is so much more than I ever imagined and with enough hard work and perserverance, I really can accomplish anything I set my mind to. College has helped me to really get to know myself and what truly interests me and makes me happy. That realization alone has made every essay, test, study session, and stress more than worth it.

I have realized the faulty nature of institutions. I have come to understand the 'real' world better. I have learned to burn myself with the fire that is thrusted upon me.

College is an opportunity that in reality can either break or make you. In my case, college is my one and only opportunity to make something out of myself. Coming into this next life-changing experience, I was clueless of just about everything. Now, I feel like I’ve strengthen myself ranging from academic growth to developing into the adult I’ve always wanted to be. My outlook on life has matured because the more educated I become, the more I desire to get involved in helping to improve the world in any way I can. This is the reason why my career goal is to become a Dentist focusing in underrepresented areas.
Learning is a never-ending process and by attending a nationally recognized university, I yearn for knowledge that will help me help others who can’t help themselves. The reason why I chose the dentistry field relates to my own personal self struggle of feeling accepted by others because I was ashamed of the one feature that displays one’s happiness, my smile. By becoming an altruistic dentist, I want to be there for those who are shielding their beautiful confidence behind a closed mouth.

I have been home schooled, college gives me the opportunity to make new friends. It gives me the chance to further my education and follow my dream to be a doctor. College is teaching me skills that i use and will continue to use my whole life. most of all college gives my the opportunity to accomplish my dreams and help other people in the process.
