Tina

I have accomplished something I have wanted to in a long time. Being a Mom of 3 children and getting my Associates degree and now going on for my Bachelors degree has been awesome. Especially because I am 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} disabled after blowing my C5-6, C6-7 out at my last job and having 2 unsuccessful surgeries. School here has made me a better person and taught me not to give up.

I have learned a great amount so far in my education. I have learned many aspects of teaching and laws of teaching. I have learned to schedule my down time accordingly so I can do my schoolwork, in quiet. The interaction with other students through the classroom forums is a great idea in my opinion. We can respond to one another in our own time frame. I have learned through hard work and determination you can achieve very good grades, and get along well with your instructors. I have learned to respect everyones opinions even if I do not fully agree with them. Online learning was the best decision I have ever made, it has changed my life and I know it will continue to change my life when I am teaching.

College provides opportunities that would not be available without a higher education. I have been in the professional field for a little over 10 years and have since learned how much farther I can advance with a higher education. I also want to set a good example for my 6 year old daughter and teach her the value of setting higher goals and being successful.

College has been a great experience so far and it has only begun for me. It is a definate change from high school which is a good thing because i needed changein my life. College has gotten me to be more on top of my game to make sure all aspects of my life are in order. Also college has helped in keeping my priorities straight. College has given me knowledge on many levels, academically, physically, and even emotionally. The stress of college can make a person stronger which it has for me. Without college in my life I would be home on the couch eating all day, doing absolutely nothing with my life. I have college to thank for my current state of mind.

Kristina

Well, I haven't started yet, but I finally made a decision to turn my life around that seems to have been this downward spiral into nothing. Made a bad choice in 2005 and haven't been able to stabilize my life since then. I believe with a career and a purpose to what I'm doing I can make difference not only in myself but also in other people's lives as a Pharmacy Tech. People need to know why they are taking something, possible side effects... but this also applies to the animal community where my deepest passion lies.

Candice

Even though I have only been in college for less than a year, I have learned many important things that with the right determination will take me far in life and I look forward to moving furthure. With the knowledge that I am obtaining from college I know that I can reach my dreams and if I continue absorbing all of the information that my college is projecting, they are not far away. My ultimate goal is to someday own a restaruant, that is why I am majoring in bussiness and by doing my school work everday that goal seems to be getting closer and closer. I am very excited about my future. I have two children and they are the reason why I want to better my education, so that I can give them the best life I can possibly give.

I've gotten many positive things out of college but the most important one would be discipline. I've learned discipline through the amount of studing I've had to do. I learned unless you are discipline, you will not do well in school. The reason for this is because you have to be able to control your actions because the vast amount of freedom that comes with college life. If you are not disciplined then you will have a very hard time going to class, studing and making good grades. The reason college has been very valuable to attend is because I've leanred this rule and many other rules about life. I've also met some great friends and enjoy all the college activities that are available. An example of this would be the football games, this is one of the most exciting and fun activities to do in college because of all the students that are so different from each other, yet they all come together as one to watch and cheer for our school. That is what I've learned from college and that is also why I believe it has been very valuable to attend.

Amber

I have learned a lot from my college experience. I was attending actual campus courses before I got married, and now I'm just working around my schedule with my baby daughter. I've learned a lot about my major and am getting better at my college writing. I have learned to manage my time better than I did in high school, and this education is very valuable to me because with a higher education, I can make life better for me and my family.
