University of Arizona Top Questions

College has already afforded me many wonderful life-changing opportunities. Life-long friends, a possible wife and future family as well as knowledge to help me, my community, and future generations. In preparing for a future career, my college experience has directly helped me to acquire several valuable attributes such as: a keen ability to work in and adapt to different business areas, strong character to communicate and to accept direction, and great determination and self-motivation to succeed. In a world of so much uncertainty, I am greatly indebted to my college experience for a much brighter future.

I have attended one full year of college so far and I have gotten a lot out of my college experience. I have made my best friends in the dorm that I stayed in and they are now very close to me. I have also benefited from the dorm because I stayed in the science and engineering dorm so I was able to work with other students around me with similar majors as me. It has also been valuable becuase I have learned a lot from my general education classes that I at first thought were pointless. I now see that they relate to life and to almost all of my other classes. I have realized how much I enjoy learning and how much I appreciate people who have a college degree because it is not something that is easy to get. I know really value my education and it is very important to me.

In the year and a half that i have been there i have made a lot a friends in and out of the greek society on campus. I have also go a feel for the life that i have in the near future. The people i met are the next generation to take over and run our world as the generation has before us. I have had the best of time working towards my future in order to grow and make a difference in someones life as done but the people who have changed mine. It has been very valuable to attend because i am the first in my family and for me that means a lot. It means that i want to change the life i had to make a difference in someone elses.

My college experience has been broad. I started out in community college, earning a certificate for general education classes, before I found my calling and advanced to a traditional university. My particular field is a non-negotiable five year degree which, adding on three semesters for graduate work, will amount to upwards of ten years spent in college. My college experience has taught me most importantly about exploration and broad horizons. General education classes prove to be surprisingly useful, the knowledge popping up unexpected but always appreciated. Elective credits have honed talents that I didn’t know I would need, but ended up giving me a decided edge once I found my intended path. Since I’ve been in college, I have made invaluable networking connections, made friends and learned a great amount. Even taking a semester of classes at the college level has given me social and professional benefits. The more schooling I receive, the more valuable skills I attain.

I have gained a lot from my college experience thus far. I first entered college thinking I wanted to become a Pharmacist, but after volunteering in a pharmacy I realized it was not for me. Through the help of my undergraduate counselors I decided to join the pre-nursing club and soon decided nursing was the perfect choice. I completed my first semester of nursing school this past May. The teachers and staff have been phenomenal in helping me through my first semester. The nursing program is very rigorous and I have had to meet with my professors many times to better understand the material. They have been very kind and helpful every time I have come to them. The professors at this university want to see you succeed and reach your goal. I do not think I would have gained the same experience if I attended anywhere else.

The value of college cannot be found in a book, nor can someone answer that question for you. The value of college is what a person allows themselves to achieve and believe in. I find that although switching majors was a point that made my college life a little murky, this is the time to find out who you are as a person. I've developed skills that only personal relationships between fellow students and teachers couild have taught me; again, these are not going to be found in a book. I'd like to think I would do this a hundred times if I could and still not learn the same things twice. I've had excellent and poor teachers which correlated with my excellent and poor grades but through it all I discovered who I was going to be and what I want to do with my time in school. I've been able to learn things I would never have imagined learning someplace else and the hardships I have faced in learning these are mine alone and cannot easily be described in under 200 words.

Well, I am not currently a college student just yet, I will be starting my college experience August of 2010. I am looking forward to have an outstanding learning experience and also, the college experience. I plan to value all the staffs that will be helping me through out my struggles in class and also on assignments. I believe this experience will better me for the future and also will teach me to stand on my own two feet and make smart goals that I

What i have gotten out of the college experience is independence. In high school you have all these groups that keep you from expresing yourself and in college being alone isn't so bad, on the other hand being alone you get a lot more done. Doing things without being told feel way better then having someone nagging you to do something, though it can get hard if you don't keep on top of things. Though simply everything about college is great!

Education is the most important achievement and investment that youth, family, and the community can work towards—the next generation’s future. My parents taught me that preparing young people academically and spiritually is one way of shaping tomorrow. Ultimately I want to become a physician and someday improve lives of people in my community, nationally, and globally. I believe everyone has a purpose. Mine is to give back to humanity. I aim to find the causes of cancer, fight, and cure people of it—why is it prevalent in these times than when my grandparents grew up? 100 years should be a normal life span for humans. I believe there is a reward for studying hard, in that hard work will open opportunities despite what zip code, class, or humble beginnings you come from. The University of Arizona and this scholarship will help me reach my academic goals, reach my purpose, and inspire other young Americans around me and across this country, that simple people can in fact reach for the stars. Our minds and our wills are God’s gifts to us.

Since I am still a freshman at least until october I am still learning about this school. What I can say is that the school is known for their Culinary program. Their culinary program is the best I've learned so much in each class I've taken. I have learned to write your recipes down on index cards and bring them to class to use so you wont mess up your books. I have learned that you really have to pay attention in each class because the teachers will ask questions about different countries depending on what your cooking that day. For example if the class is reading about mexico my teacher Chef Scholly he will ask where was this bean originated from or he will put different types of beans in little cups and to see if the class actually read the assignment he will ask what is each bean in each cup and believe me it is not as easy as it seems because some beans are similar to each other. All of this information has been extrememly valuable to me because I want to have my own restaurant one day and this will help me alot.
