I not only saved a lot of money but also now have reached the place I am now, where I can say I am ready for the next chapter of my life.

I have gotten so many different things out of my college experience.The friends that I have made have been so valuble. They have been there when I needed someone to study with during finals week and they have equally been there when I needed someone to go out and have a drink with. Not only that, I have been able to acquire connections around every corner. My university hands its students so many different opportunites. I have been able to secure jobs through alumni connections and equally have been able to learn things that I will definitely be able to utilize right after graduation. My college experience has become a valuble part of my life, without it I would not be the person I am today or have the alumni connections and friends that are available around every corner.

College has been full of new experiences. I have learned a lot from my classes, but without the experiences to supplement them I would not feel as if I was getting the full benefit from a college education. Whether you attend a community college or an ivy league school you can get a good education, however the experiences you gather from attending a Universty rather than a small college are priceless. Everything I have been involved in taught me something, even going on a retreat to the mountains tied in our educatin in a fun ay while learning about the local vegetation. The support coming from faculty only adds to this factor. They are always willing to get you connected with the right thing, anywhere from snowboarding club to a chemistry study group. The social experiences have only taught me more; the college scene allows you to find yourself in a sea of lost people. This creates a sense of personal satisfaction that cannot come from just anywhere, going out and taking that next step towards independence while creating an education that allows for endless carreer opportunities is a one time shot that cannot have a price tag on it.

I learned a lot about how to make friends in a American college. As a international student, I always not so confindence for my english and that's why I always being silent at the class. Thanks for my good roomate, she helpe me to make a lot of realy good friend at class. I learned something like American Cultural and their young-speaking-way when I talked with them. I think the most important thing in a college is to make a life-long good friend and I hope I can do that in my following 3 years college life.

My college experience at Mira Costa Community College has given me insight into the value of education. Entering my second year, college has been triumphant, but a constant challenge. On average a person with a bachelor's degree earns one-million dollars more than a person without a degree. This stark difference is what has pushed me to maintain a competitive GPA of 3.74 and ensure that I transfer to a four year institution. My college experience has shown me that without a drive failure is imminent. Many students call community college a 'four year plan' because there is no push for them to finish. From their lack of consistentcy and effort, I strive to do better and compensate. I hope that my generation's lack will be dettered by all of us that show a drive and a spirit for what we strive to achieve. The value in my education is the opportunity that it brings and the inevitable success that is only permitted through the challenge of college. My only wish with this scholarship is to spread this value of education to those in other countries that do not have the priveledge of this experience.

I went to a very rigorous high school (and middle school) and was surrounded by students whose entire lives were dedicated to making the grade and getting into great colleges. Many of my classmates went on to ivy league schools and not a single one of us took the year off. The atmosphere at the University of Denver is different. I've watched people stumble into class drunk and I've watched people study in the library until it closes. Everyone has a different reason for being there. Some are there to graduate with a business degree so they can inherit the family business, others are there just to keep their parents off their back but few are there to forge their own way. I am one of those few students. I've realized that I have to work for what I want because it is not being handed to me.

I have grown as a person through the interaction I have had at this university. There are numerous things I can say that I have taken away from going to this university. I can honestly say that I have learned to learn. What I mean by this is that I can walk away with the tool that will make me a successful person in the business world. I have learned how to take things and expand my knowledge on them. Not only have I learned to learn, but I have learned professor’s success and failures. The professors that I have encountered at the University of Denver have taught me more about education through their own experiences and knowledge. I will never forget what a professor quoted to me the last day of spring 2010 semester, "Do not be afraid of failure because it is what you do with failure that will make you a better person, and a person to respect and remember."
