The college experience has allowed me to learn more about other and most importantly more about myself. I have realized that there is more to life beyond high school. College has opened my eyes up to the big picture and that is to not settle fo less instead go for everything that you believe you can accomplish in life. College has showed me to reached for the stars and go for everything I believe in. College is valuable because at the end of the experiece whether you attend college for two years for years or beyond that you are only getting more education whichwill prove to be valuable in the future. For example attending college will assure you that you will be able to get a better job with much better pay and as it is proven a college graduate will make more money in their lifetime than a non college graduate. Just experiencing the journery of being on my own has allowed me to understand that I am a much stronger and better person than I've ever thought in my life.

What I received from my experience at the University of Phoenix was knowledge, growth and developing additional skills. In addition, the one thing I recieved from this experience was my children were able to see me obtain my degree and this encourages them to strive for a higher education. I feel this made a better role model for my children.

I have gained strength and self wealth while determining anything is possible with the self determination and support. The ability to return to school to further my education and knowledge is very much needed with the times and the economy. I have also learned that no matter what the challenge or what one has to tackle at the time that God does not put on one more than he/she can handle. I was indeed tested on this during my bachelors and now with my masters. Even though I had to take 6 months off during both, I did have the discipline and determination to continue and complete my degrees. It has made me a stronger and more determined female to tackle these accomplishments and complete them both no matter what barriers are thrown my direction.

What have I gotten out of my college experience here at the University of Phoenix would be the opportunity to learn for different people from different area around the United States and the World. Why has it been valuable to attend the University of Phoenix it has given me the opportunity to complete my education that I started twenty-nine years ago, and a chance to continue learning though books, resources, networking. Knowing that your education doesn't stop when you have completed all your required courses that its just the beginning of the learning process.

I have gotten to explore religions, travel through the media, make it from past to present films, taste history, and explore the universe. I have gained knowledge about the human body I would have never thought existed, or that anything like our bodies, could be so complex and yet simple. Without college, I wouldn't feel like I knew enough to write a book, or inspire my imagination. Learning new social skills and working not only alone but with others on projects so complex, high schoolers would never see as hard work from where they stand. No, college has brought more to me than the minor essays in english class. It has brought me a challenge in subjects like math, higher educated writing assignments, and the chance to know my work is getting me some where. My college experience has introduced me to a world I wouldn't want to miss out on if given a second chance. I assure you, I would and will do it again. College gives me more then just a general understanding or idea about subjects. It gives me indepth learning and understanding. I do gain greater knowledge from college, I shall treasure it always.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience so far. I have learned alot about myself and I've really had the chance to live a more independent life. I'm learning what it takes to succeed in life and learning that it doesn't always come easy. I'm motivated to push myself to my ultimate potential in life. Unlike most college students I'm still set on what i want to do, which is to be a nurse. I naturally have that nurturing instinct in me to excel in nursing. It's a passion of mine that I have been working to persue since high school. I work hard for what i have, hence having a full time job while a full time student. I'm very excited for my future and i sort of like that It's not set in stone, and It's up to my discretion where I'll end up. I have only been in college for three semesters, but I have already learned so much. Not just educational either, and I think many people need to learn from both worlds as well to find their calling.

College is a learning experience. After high school we all have dreams of a big tomorrow. We can do anything we want but I never finished out that dream. I ended up raising six beautiful children for the next 31 years. Now I have deceided it is time for me again, so I just recently enrolled back into college. I always enjoyed learning, and have had a lot of wonderful experiences, while raising my children. Being a single mother is not easy. In fact sometimes it is down right hard. But through it all I would not exchange that reward for anything. As a single mother I worked for a major airline, life was good, until they deceided it was time to lay off. So during that lay off time I deceided that the better paying jobs all want a degree, it does not matter how much experience you have the piece of paper means a lot. So I enrolled back into college. I just completed my first week and am so excited by the things I will be learning. The job market is difficult. College is a way to open up my dreams.
