It was kind of a self analysis, and I found out some feelings I didn't know I had toward the University!

One thing that i have gotten out of my college experience is the drive to excel. At the University of Mississippi, there are numerous professors, staff members, and students willing to make sure you succeed as a part of the family. They were always there anytime of the week if i need any help. This was a very big deal to me because i truly felt like a part of one large family who were always supporting me in all my efforts. I must say, it has been valuable to attend the University of Mississippi because the people have sincerely had my best intrests in heart and have always been supportive and helpful. In which all were much needed within my first few months of living on campus.

I have learned so much about myself and my life. When I first came to college I thought I knew who i was, but college really opened my eyes. I realized I cared a lot about my education and what I learned everyday. I found out that I can be an outgoing person and make my dreams come true on my own. I learned not to judge people on first impressions and to give everyone a chance. I learned to go for what you want and if you believe you can do it, nothing can stop you. I love college because its making me into a strong young woman who I hope is a good member of the community and will make everyone proud. Its teaching me that trying is the best thing you can do, and I wouldnt give any of this up for the world. College is not just aboout the classes, its about the whole journey!

I've learned that it is possible to really acheive your childhood dreams if you really put your mind to it. Just because something seems too hard to get to, doesn't mean it's not worth trying for it. I've always loved writing scripts since I was a kid. Instead of drawing like other kids, I loved to sit in front of a typewriter or computer, just making up stories in my head. Now I'm really trying to pursue that path of screenplay writing. I am hoping and praying that I can find all the options that are available to me that will help me get to my dreams.

My college experience so far has been an adventure in its self! My teachers are amazing and so are my advisors. I have gotten so much out of just my freshman year, I don't even know where to begin. I will say it is very valuable for me to attend this year, my mom is single so we do not have much money. All I can say is thank the Lord for Pell Grants!! That is the only way I could of even thought about going to school, I wouldnt have been able to afford it with out that money.

While attending college I have made a few friends, learned some valuable lessons, and grown as a person. I have met people from different cultures who have taught me things I never would have learned otherwise and introduced me to movies, music, books, and even religions that I otherwise would not have been exposed to. I have also met many people whom I have come to love as family that I believe will be lifelong friends. I have learned valuable lessons that will affect everything I say or do in the future. I have learned to be responisble and act accordingly. Finally, I have changed as a person. I have realized that there is more to life than just what I want, and that I am just one part of a huge puzzle. My college experience been valuable as far as education, because I strongly believe that in order to compete in today's work force one must have a college degree, but it has also allowed me to learn and experience things that I am glad I had the opportunity to, that otherwise would not have had if I had chosen not to go.

I have gotten a wonderful experience of living on my own, meeting new people and enjoying life to the fullest. It is valuable to attend because I have gotten a wonderful education from the university so far and I am looking forward to continuing my education.

Besides getting a great education, college helped teach me who I am and how to interact socially with others. From tailgating in the grove to attending sorority and fraternity formals, proper etiquette was instilled in me.

As a kid who grew up in a small community and attended a high school with less than 30 people in my graduating class, college was a wonderful experience that helped open my mind. I appreciated the diversity of my professors and the fact that free-thinking was encouraged.

Since I have been attending college I have learned so many things ranging from mathematical equations to proper ways to pronounce Spanish phrases. Aside from everything I have been taught, what I have learned that I consider most valuable are all the life skills I have learned on my own. For example, I have learned that I am in charge of what I take away from a class and I have to learn where to apply it in my life. I have learned that to be successful, I need to give my all. I have to manage my time and be disciplined to earn the grades I want, because unlike grade school, "skating through" is not an option. I have learned that I am a driven, disciplined person. Nothing is given to you when you are an adult. You decide what kind of a mark you will leave on people and in history. My college experience has helped me mold myself into a respectable and accountable person by ways of discipline, intense studies and massive amounts of decisions. I am on my way to becoming the person I know I can be and, become the nurse that someone might need.
