University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus Top Questions

I have learned a great deal about myself, such as what I want to do with my life and attending is endlessly inspiring, for myself, and others because I recieved a college experience.

I have attended a community college. In the time that I have spent there, I have realized what I want to do with my life and have realized how different college is from high school. I have realized that I need to work much harder than I did in high school. The grades are not going to come as easily in college as they did in high school. It is a completely different experience than high school. I did not realize how different it would be until now.

Out of my college experience so far. I have learned responsibilty. I know longer have my mom to wake me up and tell me to get ready for school. My study habits are different. It has give me the oppurtunity to display my independence. And also has provided me with an avenue which I can travel and reach my goals. I am young, diligent, and determined to be successful in life. I believe that success is measured not by the size of a persons bank account but by the lesson learned on a journey to achieve ones goal. Although my journey has just started. I have already learned that they may be obstacle along the way. My finances is the first I have to cross. I hope that you can provide a bridge to help me get over this first obstacle.

The most valuble thing I have learned in college is the value that I have as an individual, and that a group of people with a worthy cause can make a difference. I have learned that the world's opportunities are endless if you are willing to work hard for what you want, you can make a difference. The best things in life don't always go to the swift and the lucky, but to those who persevere for what they believe in.

My college experience has made me open my eyes and heart to the world around me. Instead of isolating myself, I have now become more involved in the different activities around me. I love to volunteer, hike, bike ride, and read. I interact with people around me and I have gained confidence in my opinions. I have learned more about life. I am more willing to try new things because I have discovered how much fun it can be.

My Name is Kendall C. Elam , I am 18 years of age and I am a recent student attending Lansing Community College. I wanted to attend a 4 year college but my grades are not the best (I have a learning disability, GPA 2.5) and I can not afford the tution. My mother is a single woman who is raising 2 children, doing a great job may I add, but does not have the money to send me off to school. I want to attend Ferris State University because of it's awesome curriculm in Fashion Design/Art and their Music program. I will be the 1st to attend college and out of my entire family - I have 6 Aunts and 9 Uncles with approximately 42 cousins. I don't want to become a statistic like most of my cousins or my friends have become, African American males with little-to no education and with a criminal past. I keep moving forward but each step I take, I'm reminded that money makes the world go around and this is something that neither me nor my mother has. I ask that you please consider me for this scholarship. Thanks

I have personally gotten a lot out of my college experience and plan to further that experience as long as I can afford to keep going. I have just recently graduated from Eastfield Community College in Mesquite, TX and received my Associates in Arts. I now am attending the University of North Texas in Dallas, TX and plan to obtain my Masters. My educational experience up to this point has been a life changing experience. It has allowed me to get involved in social clubs and community service opportunities, as well as, learn new information to advance my area of study. The most valuable reason for going to college and continuing my education is due to the success I want to become and because I am the first in my family to achieve this goal. Other valuable reasons of education that have been life changing was the fact that it has allowed me to overcome fears in my life such as public speaking and shyness. I begin college wanting to become a teacher but the classes and training directed me to choose the sociology as my major. I am greatful and blessed to that I have the opportunity of education.

I will just be starting in the fall.

I'm not sure yet I don't attend until this fall.

I learned a great deal about people, myself and where I want to go in the world.
