Having only completed one semester at The University of Arizona I feel as if i learned a lot more than most other college students. I'm from out of state and I am paying a considerable amount for my education so I promised myself to make the most of it, mostly education wise but not ONLY education wise. I never knew how hard it would be to leave my family back in Boston. Home-cooked meals never sounded so good but a part of flying is leaving the nest. Most students would love to go down the street to a college close to home just for the independence but I wanted the real experience of going off and really being on my own. On top of the academics, sports and volunteer work, bills are a extensive part of this "grown-up" world and not the most joyful part at that. Paying for college is part of this independence but it has also put me into a slight debt but its all part of the full experience.

After just a semester at the University of Arizona, I have matured substantially, reaching no bounds in discovering myself.

Studying new, unique subjects and discussing them at a scholastic level has given me an appreciation for learning and expanding my knowledge. The university has also given me the ability to discover myself socially and confidently interact with others.

My college experience thus far has been dependant on my activites within college. I used to do marching band in high school and felt that once I got to college, I would quit that activity. In my freshman year of a free fall semester from practices and football games, I met some of my best friends today. However, I felt that I missed my old activity and took marching band up again the next fall, while keeping my best friends. In band, I made some great bonds with people I wouldn't have otherwise met. I feel that most of the people I'll know after college will be those friends I have now. I have luckily been able to take classes with these friends and face the challenges these classes present to us with them. I know for a fact that I would not have had the privlege to know whom I know now if I had or had not participated in certain activies only obtainable through my school.

My collage experience has not only helped me mature into a responsible, independent adult but it also helped me reach my dreams. I have known what I wanted to do for a career since I was a young child. Without collage and specifically this collage I would never have made it. My academic advisor has been helping me out since the beginning. Because of this institution I have had two different lab jobs, a student manager position and two internships. After I graduate I'll be headed to Antarctica to finish up a project supported by NASA. This is what I have been working my whole life to achieve. Without collage I would never have made it this far.

I cannot think of an environment that more efficiently tests the adaptability of a person than college life. The money- and time-management skills I've obtained out of necessity in college will be invaluable in my professional life. In addition, I've made many connections and friends that will help me both professionally and personally in the years to come. Many of these people I would not have met if not for having my university as a common factor. Though it may not be particularly valuable in the traditional sense, the opportunity to explore many different activities and areas of study has been satisfying on a personal level. The kinds of experiential opportunities afforded in college are not offered at any other time in life and it's been a pleasure taking advantage of all of them.
