University of Kansas Top Questions

It has been a great and valuable experience and it will be a great reward when I graduate from here

Attending college allowed me to really find myself. I believe no one can truly know who they are as person before experiencing college. There are so many opportunities and new people that once you find what feels right, the rest of your life falls right into place.

I have learned the importance of time management and budgeting. There are a lot of bills that pile up very quickly and if you don't stay on top of everything, there is a hefty additional monthly charge. I know the importance of saving every penny and smart shopping at the grocery store. I have to manage my time wisely to keep everything running smoothly in my day to day activities. I have to get to bed at a decent hour and get to classes with enough time prepare before it begins. Even my work svhedule has to be done carefully so I can have evough time for homework afterwards. I have also very quickly learned that I cannot do this on my own and that I do need help. Whether it's homework, needing a ride, a financial question or any other question I have, I've learned that there are people there to help me.

I have made new friends and found that I fit into multiple groups of people who are all excepting and very welcome of new people.

The most important thing that I have learned from attending college, is learning to work with a variety of people. Although we have our own agendas and goals, I think learning to work together to enhance our learning, as well as learning to accept and deal with another person is a valuable skill in college. College has really helped me to practice the best way to treat all people with the same humbleness and respect. Along with that the university setting has taught to remain strong in my personal beliefs and provided me with opportunities to explain and convey my beliefs. I have also been able to practice how to ensure the principles that I want to live with for the rest of my life will be maintained. The University setting is an awesome place to truly grow as a person, all through out life. However, this can only be done if we have proper self-control and conscious effort to develop our character along with our careers. Therefore, it is vital to learn not only in class, put from our peers, and also harness our power of intution, in order to uplift ourselves to the greatest height.

The problem for me with college is that I haven't gained much insight from school. Thus far it hasn't been very valuable for me to attend. I am currently undecided in my major and have yet to be truly inspired to work in any one field and because I am so busy with work and school I feel I am missing out on valuable opportunities to get involved in my school. If I had more time to get involved i could explore more job opportunities and hopefully find something that inspires me. The reason I am applying for this scholarship is to give myself the chance to worry less on how im going to pay for school and worry more about my future in school. I want to have time to explore different fields and broaden my horizons. I want my to learn more from classes, getting involved , and explore more social interactions with the diverse students at KU. I plan to continue to work during school and pay off loans in the future, but the more secure my financial future is now the more i can relax take some days off work and focus on school.

During my college time, I have experienced many things to help me in the future when I look for that dream job. College has taught me how to deal with day-to-day life and how to resolve issues that come up in my daily life. The experiences that I have learned and absorbed in my classes I took to help me grow and to give me the knowledge to excel at any job I choose. Not only have I Iearned a lot of new skills such as a higher math IQ, broadening my vocabulary, and learning how to express and define art. I could go on about how much I've learned but to summarize it all, college has helped me to grow into a wise and mature woman, and I am thankful for the opportunity of having a community college for the less fortunate.

the college experience is extremely valuable because it is a perfect transition between high school and student life to full time employment and adult life. students take on alot of responsibilities (bills, meals) for the first time, and it is really kind of a "test the water" time for future adults. it is for this reason that my college experience was valuable to me.

I've learned the value of networking and maintaining connections with members of the proffesional community as well as those I am in school with. I am developing my skill set and exploring options to utilize these skills before graduation in an effort to broaden my experiance. If I hadn't been in this enviroment I feel that some of these base principal ideas would not have been made avaiable to me and it is though this that I feel confident on securing a career in the field of my choosing.

My college experience has been the best experience of my life. I have learned and gained so many lifelong friends as well as life long lessons here at the University of Kansas. We also won a NCAA national championship while I was was a student here which earns me bragging rights for generations. I have joined the great fraternity of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity Inc. while at the university. I have acomplished many things like being elected as the student senator of the Black Student Union and also accepted into the McNair Scholars Program. The university of Kansas is one of the best value schools in the country as proven by recent studies (can't remember the name of the article) and have many schools within ranked in the top 100. Overall, my experience at KU has been like none other and I am glad that I have attended the university thus far and look forward to my upcoming years here to futher my college experience. I would greatly appreciate receiving this scholarship because I struggle to pay for my education and receive no help from outside sources. This scholarship would help with books, classes, and my overall college experience.
