University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

My college experience has given me happiness and a sense of purpose. I have given myself staggering goals to attempt and it is comforting to know I have a purpose in life other than working dead-end jobs for the rest of my life. It is valuable to attend college not just for future earning statements but peace of mind and control of one's life both professionally and personally.

My college experience has taught me how important it is to apply yourself. Education is something that is vital in the world we live in, without it one could not go very far in many fields. In high school I did not apply myself, and did not get the education that I needed to to the things I want as an adult. Today I try harder and maintain a 4.0 not only to prove to myself that I can, but to reach the goals that will help my family, community, and myself to be better. My education from college will enable me to fulfill my dream of helping US soldiers who went to war to protect our freedom, but came back wounded inside with PTSD. These people deserve the chance to live out thier lives as normally as possible, and if I appy myself, I will be that person who is able to help them through thier tough times!

So far I have gotten so much out of my college experience. Each day that goes by i learn more and more about myself and the things I want to make out of life. Going into college I was young and naive. I had no direction in life or what I was even going to do with myself. Since I have actually started applying myself yo school it is like I am a changed person. I can not wait to finally graduate and start my like and career as a radioloigist.

i have recieved so many life tools that are necessary to everyday life. i cannot start to explain how much i have leared from returning to school. from discipline to dedication, these key points have accelerated my drive and will to be the best student i can be. i have family, as well as other applicants, but the difference between them and me is that i get up for my children and not just to go to work to pay bills and come home and study for hours a day. i actually enjoy being tired for my family and would do it all over again if i had to.my satisfaction is me pulling in my driveway and my daughter waitng at the door for me, waving and exicted, knowing her daddy is home. that is what matters to me. being able to provide so my family does not have to do without is what matters. by going back to school, i greaten those odds by furthering my education and putting myself in a better position for advancement, statistically speaking. that is what i have gotten from my college experience.

I have gained inteligence and a broader perspective on life from my academic experience. It has been valuable for me to attend because I am able to balance raising a family and being a full-time college student, as I am a wife, stay-at-home mother of three, ages 2, 6, and 12, and a volunteer at a local substance abuse coulseling agaency. I believe education is what cultivates an individuals potential for greatness. An education will allow me to attain the job of dreams and become the best version of myself, increasing my potential and ability to have an impact on the world around me. I can make a difference. Education is the key to success and finanial security; however, happiness has to come from one's sense of accomplishment and belongingness. The deep appreciation for the knowledge I have gained is more than I would have ever expected. I only wish I would have had the courage to start sooner.

Attending the University of Phoenix Online has been a very interesting experience. They really have it set up to be pretty slick now, and it's constantly being improved. In some ways online is better than traditional college life. For example, no one can see each other's faces, so prejudice plays no part in student interactions. We are purely motivated by subjects, statements, and arguments made in the online "newsgroup-style" interface. In certain forums we are enouraged to look at and respond to the work of our classmates, while other forums are private - just the student and the teacher. It is clear to me that an online education is just as valuable as traditional methods. In any case, the process of getting an education is far more valuable than any material benefits that may accrue from gaining a degree. The self-discipline, self-sacrifice, and self-motivation required to achieve something as ethereal as an education makes us strong. Setting a long-term goal and actually achieving it gives us the self-confidence to shoot for the stars.

So far ( I began attending classes 09/27/10) we are familiarizing ourselves with the online forum. We are also studying health and wellness in one of the courses. These two preliminary courses of study are designed to help the students gain knowledge and experience of the Online Learning System. I have learned that the amount/intensity of exercise I perform during the day has a direct impact on the amount of and the quality of the class work I submit for the instructors to view and grade for me.

I am the first person in my family to achieve this honor so it is woth showing my children that it can be done.. The experience is the knowldg that i have recieved from the classes and the knowledge that I am able to get a bettr job. It has inspired me to gt more education and make sure that I am able to use it within the realms of the career that I feel that is best for me. Instad of working at places like radio shack or McDonalds I am able to work in places like Rathon or for the govrnment. It has raised my own personal goals from being just a person who works for one to looking at what I can do for my community and my neighbors by looking into programs that can help reduce the gang problems within the realm of my community and possibly in the realm of all communities that have problems. My education has showed me a way to improve not only myself but those around me.

The main thing that I have gained out of this college experience is knowledge, with that there's a lot more understanding within my field. Learning all of the different techniques about writing has helped me to become a more efficient writer and learner that will help me later in my profession, to become a more effiecient, professional person, where I will be able to utilize my skills in the work force. It has been valuable to attend college because learning how to communicate among myself and my peers is the way to life all together. I want to become more than a Certified Nursing Assistant, my goals reach alot higher and if I dont continue and get a degree I'm back at square one. My mind is set to accomplish a goal and that is to become a pharmacy technician. Knowing that I can and will succeed attitude is only going to make me progress further and further in life.

I'm not currently in college at the moment. But i have stayed on TSU campus for the summer in 2009. During that summer i have learned how to adated to the environment. At first i was how sick,but as i continued to make friends and be involved with alot of activities being at home bearly crossed my mind. The food on campus was so great that i started gaining weight and it was it good thing to have a gym on campus. My classes wasn't close so i got a chance to get exercise daily. I was every healthy that summer from all the walking and running i did all over campus trying to get to class on time. Waking up early has always been a hard thing for me because i'm not a morning person, so an alarm clock came in handy and my roommate. I have never wanted to be in school so much like i do now, but the only problem that i have is paying for it. I've learned how to be an independent adult.
