University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I have not currently began my college classes. I am currently signed up for classes and begin in two weeks. It will be very valuable to attend my classes once I begin because I am trying to get a degree so that I can find a better paying job.

College has opened all of the doors of opportunity, and I have grown immensely from my learning experience. I've pushed myself to learn as much as I could from each course, and be open-minded to any opportunity. I've met a lot of people on campus that I can relate to, that are also working full-time while pursuing their degrees. My writing skills have improved ten fold, which has transferred to my work environment making me more efficient at my job. Each instructor has different teaching styles, and I'm learning more about my learning style as well. The overall culture of the campus is positive and motivated, and gives me more momentum towards my ultimate goal. Whenever I have the moments of doubt, I am reassured by the time my class is over. Two years ago I was stuck in a nine to five job, and never thought I would ever have another opportunity towards my education. Now my education is all that matters. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and can't wait to finish my degree and begin working in the medical field.

Since going back to school in my 40's it has helped me to remember what I previously learned and it has helped me learn a whole lot more. I have completed my first two years and I am continuing next year with another university. I can learn and do anything with the availability of school and will do so. The confidence I have gained has been invaluable.

I have learned better time management and writing skills, since beginning college. It has been valuable to attend because it serves as a good role model for my children. When my children see me studying and doing school work, they are more excited about doing their own school work. It has also opened doors for me in my career.

I have learned some vital keys in the business world. I am especially more knowledgeful in computer software. The knowledge I gained will contribute to my personal skills and help me to secure a position in administration in the healthcare field. I have also gained public speaking skills.

My college experience has provided me with a larger view of education itself. I have not yet completed my college experience but from what I have experienced, has opened my mind to just how valuable education is. During High School I wasn't even sure if I wanted to attend college, but my mother suggested I at least try attending a two year Community College. After the first couple of weeks I started to realize just how true that old statement was, that education really is a priviledge. My mind started to take in subjects like American Government, and government in general, telling me more about how our nation's government came to be and why it functions the way it does, and how my personal actions affect the government I live in. This is just one of many subjects I started to think more deeply about. Music has become so complex, there was so much I didn't know, I truly see music as an art now, and Roman Civilization was full of war, betrayal, myth, literature and discovery. College has been a value to attend because it has opened my mind to knowledge and understanding of the world.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience in the past year. So far, I have furthered my knowledge of the world and grown up more to see my surroundings as not just a place I will be living in, but a place where I will be cooperating with others as well as learning new ideas every day. It has been very valuable to attend college because I will be the first in my family to actually finish my degree and move on to bigger and better job opportunities. It would mean a lot more to me if I were to receive this scholarship, since it would aid me in my transferring to a more expensive school than the community college I am attending at the moment. I know that my time in college will prepare me for life outside of what I am normally used to, so I will continue with school until I am one-hundred percent completed and happy with what I have become. Thank you for this opportunity.

I have learned that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to reach your goals. It is important to stay on top of daily tasks and ensure you are maintaining balanced lifestyle between home, work, and school. I have also learned that it is important to include your family in your school schedule. My step-daughter and I have homework time together while my husband completes his work. It really helps to bring the family together.

I have learned that you can teach an old dog new tricks! Returning to school as an "adult" learning can be a very intimidating and daunting experience. Many of my peers have never used computers in school, and the thought of online learning is not something one would think is an optimal learning environement. I am very thankful for the online classes, and although I had some uncomfortableness in the few couple of classes, I adapted well to this nontraditional way of learning. Looking back on it now, I can certainly say that I wouldn't have done it any other way. With finishing my BSN, I became very inspired to continue pursuing my education, and am currently enrolled in a FNP program. I look forward to what the future holds for my academically and professionally, and I would strongly encourage anyone who has been thinking about going, to JUST DO IT!
