Im not saying take college as a joke, but look at it as a recap on life. Have something to look back on and tell your children and your grand children. I'm sure it would put a smile on your face and others too. Not only do I look at college as a active and fun experience, but I also take may educational standards to the limit.

By attending the University of Connecticut, I have learned what hard work truly means. But, I have aIso learned that hard work pays off as I earned a 3.69 GPA for the year as well as a spot on the Dean's list. However, I know that grades are not everything and have thus made my college experience about much more. Bt attending football games, joining clubs, and participating in intramural sports, I have been able to make my time at school a very valuable experience. Furthermore, volunteering at the Willington Nursery School with the America Reads Preschool program has also helped me to understand what a full college experience truly is. Watching the children grow as I helped them was touching and definitely made me feel like a more productive person than if i had simply studyied and enjoyed my good grades. I feel that I have grown much as a person as a result of the college experience I have had thus far. With three more years, I plan to make the absolute most of my time at school by joining even more clubs and sports. WInning this scholarship would help me to continue my college experience.

The most valuable thing I received was a great education. I learned so much and I apply it to every aspect of my life. I've learned that this world is a melting pot and you have to learn how to live in it.

My college experience has taught me alot and has also helped me grow up even more. College is not all about parties or friends or anything you think of when your in high school. College is your ticket into the real world and it doesn't come cheap or easy. I've valued the dedication i have earned from all the hard work over the past few years and also for the years to come because I know that my goals will not reach themselves without the hard work put in at college.

There are many things I would say to myself as a high school senior. The first thing would be to make sure you take over 12 hours a semester so you do not get behind. Always try your best and do not be afraid to ask for help. Another piece of advice that I would give myself is be comfortable with yourself and speak up for what you believe. The transtion to college was tough. I struggled with issues of having enough confidence to speak up in class because I was afraid that if I said something wrong people would laugh at me and look differentlyon me. This is the most important advice I could of given myself is always be your self because people can sense when you are a downer on yourself. This advice would have helped me a lot in giving me confidence to be myself and to have a better first year of college. The last thing would be to make sure you do your best but also make new friends and enjoy yourself because going to school is a once in a lifetime opportunity and enjoy it.

I was very fortunate I began the work study program after graduation, worked for Social Security and attended college. During the first semester my sister passed away. Newly married, 2 small children, working full time I quit school. I was thankful I was able to keep my goverment job, with great insurance worked my way up the ranks, my uncle then became a judge the neptism law went into affect and I was let go. I would have told my self change is the only thing certain, prepare, 1 class a night a 2 year degree, experience and education was needed, deditication 14 years experience with 1 company, it did not matter to the goverment my husband had died the law is the law, change makes us strong. Over 45 attending college, the students treat me good What else could I ask for.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high schoo senior, and knowing what I know now about college life and making the transition, I think the best advice that I could give myself would be to concentrate more on actually learning the subject material in my classes and applying for more scholarships. You always think college will be harder then high school but there is so much material in high school that we don't take the time to learn that is thought to be common knowledge in college. Taking the time to learn the small stuff makes classes a lot easier when you make the trnasition. I also knew college was going to be expensive, but I had no idea how much money was involved outside of tuition and fees. The cost of books changes every semester. It could be a couple hundred one semester and be almost a thousand the next. No one wants school loans or to have to worry about working all the time either, but there is also food, gas, and all the stuff it takes to live on your own to think about when your move to college.
