University of Hawaii at Manoa Top Questions

Honestly, how isn't it? There's a wealth of opportunities to be obtained from attending any college, no matter its credibility and prestige. In so far as my two-year college (Lake Sumter Community College) experience, I've come to ascertain moral responsibility and a perpetual undying wish to become an aeronautical engineer. The mathematics up to this point (up to differential equations), although merely fundamental, are - in and of themselves - an interesting foundation for progressing my intellectual capabilities. It's surprising really, the difference between someone fresh out of high school and someone who has attended college for at least two semesters; their religious standing, moral obligations, and physical fitness all seem to drastically change in comparison. Not only that, I've had more social interaction than I had originally intended, making friends with my peers alongside course instructors; the benefit of having aquaintances is profound.

Hawai'i is much more culturally diverse than where I gre up, so it is nice to be getting a new perspective on the world.

I've learned what hard work and extensive writing equates to as a college student. I've learned how important due dates are to your grade and how midterms help evaluate your progress in class. I've learned in college that clubs and organizations requiere not only interest, but action. I've learned that support can be found as long as you are willing to request it. Most of all, I've learned that commitment and goals are the key to success in college.

My college experience has been an amazing journey thus far. I have only been at University of Hawaii's nursing program for 1 semester, but the friendships made are invaluable. I thought that the campus seemed threatening as an outsider, but as soon as I started I felt at home. I feel that I have learned a lot in my classes and it is a great start to a wonderfully rewarding career. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was a child and as a child, I was always sickly. I remember the nurses being friendly and taking good care of me which made me want to do the same. This experience has been a lifetime dream and I sometimes wonder if I am dreaming becauase I have finally got here at 35 years old! I will be the first in my family to get a bachelors degree and hope that doing this will inspire my son to shoot for his dreams and goals.

Diversity is something I had never encountered before my university experience. The mix of ideas, people and new cultures was a real shock to me. However, I cannot imagine my life without being exposed to all of these new concepts. Collge has taught me as much about the world, as it has taught me about myself. I have learned that I am strong, responsible and independent. This to me is the most valuable part of my schooling. Whenever I begin to doubt my capabilities I will only have to remember those long nights studying after a stressful day at school. Those nights have made me who I am today. From now on, I will face challenges with confidence in myself.

The most important thing I got out of my college experience is that I'm able to learn more extensively about the subjects that I have learned in high school. By learning more extensively, I'll have a better idea of the subject in college than I had in high school. For me, college is valuable to attend because if I don't attend college, I won't be able to have a career that I want and instead I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.

I've learned that it is important not to take the education you receive for granted. Sometimes you're not given second chances. College is tough, and that's a given. The effort you put in it is worth it in the end. Even when the curriculum gets difficult, it's important that you don't just give up. If you don't understand it, you have to get on your own two feet and get help somehow. College is quite a bite of what the real world is really about, and knowing that a good education is vital to be financially stable for the most part, I'm not going to give up on attaining a degree, no matter how hard it gets; college is a challenge, and I'm ready.

I will never regret my college experience, even through the toughest times. I have learned and appreciated the value of hard work because attending college is on of the the greatest opportunities one could have to be successful in life. I chose to go to an out of state college which proved to be challenging in an exciting way for me. I grew as a person where I learned to appreciate people vastly different from me. The United States is a big country and people from different cities view this country in different ways. I was everything from indifferent to shocked. College is not just about how well one does academically, but also how one has become a better person through socializing with students, faculty, or locals. I have been shaped by my personal experiences, which have helped me to become a better student and participant in student affairs. All of this together has helped make a decision for what I would like to do after college and beyond.

i want to be a doctor so that i can help other people and my own family. In college i learn to be competitive so that i am not like other student. And in BYUH the cost is very cheap so that i can save money to keep going to build my dream to be a doctor.

My college experiences have been extensive. However, if I were to put my college life into a single word that word would have to be 'freedom'. In college I am able to choose what I want to learn, what I want to do with my life, when I want classes to be and with whom they're given and so many more decisions that I had never had before. This freedom, although seemingly trivial, is something that trumps all other things in life because I've found that in giving myself the choice of leaning new cultures, meeting new people and exploring the world of learning and thoroughly accepting that challenge, I am ultimately molding myself into a person that I want to become.
