University of Phoenix-Online Campus Top Questions

I have learned that you are never too old to learn. I also have learned that your dreams do matter. Even when your older and are fighting health challenges and are put into a wheelchair its important to dream and do everything you can to make them come true. I have also learned helping others is what makes life truly blessed. I have enjoyed doing all I can to inspire others to make the best of their lives and to show that disabled does not mean unable. Its my new motto and I try to inspire all I can, I have gone from being a normal adult to suddenly being disabled. And I believe its so that I can help others now and in the future.

I have learned so much throught this school and am working my way towards my doctorate in psychology. This school helps me to better my life for me and my child.

I have learned so many inportant things about life, since I have been enrolled in college. The most important thing I have learned is not to give up, and to continue my education untill I graduate as a registered nurse. It is very valuable to attend college everyday, so one will not miss any assignments or miss any informtion the teacher gives out. I love learning new things everyday. I will continue learning for the rest of my life, as long as I will become a nurse.

My college experience has given me a look of what higher standards of education looks like. I attended UOP because of so many people who felt this is a great college to attend. UOP College experience has given me information I can use for years to come. Wisdom about how dedicated the professor and adminstration is to the students. Why go somewhere else and feel like your just a number. Feel like students don't matter or opinions don't count. UOP is a family atmosphere, experience, and journey, that each and every student old and new needs to take and take to the heart. What a ride to another education level? I would not enjoy UOP if the staff did not take the time, have patience, and make you fell good about yourself. Being an older student makes me feel confident, I owe that to UOP. I can honestly say I am a Phoenix and feel proud.

My college experience has taught me how to become an idependent self-relied individual. I have learned to be more opened minded to the different virtues out there for me. I am loving every moment of college, and find learning fun, interesting, and blessful. I look at going to college not as a mandatory thing, but a have to for myself indulgence, i figure why stop learning and limit yourself just to a high school diploma when you have a brain and can always keep learning. College has made me realize all of this, and i am very thankful to the low income opportunities that are offered to us minorities in the United States. I plan on continuing to a 4year university and further my degree with getting a PH.D. in pyschology. College will always be a part of my life as long as i can function, it has made me realize what a wonderful environment it is, and how blessed we are in the United States to have the opportunity to attend. I value college for every moment i attend, and it has been very valuable to me. Thank you :)

I have gotten so much out of my college experience, even though I attend online. Just having the opportunity to receive a college education is a privelege and should be regarded as such. I only realize that now, that I am in college, the first ever to attend in my family. Not only have I gained a heightened sense of accomplishment every time I pass a course, I have gained knowledge about a subject that I knew relatively nothing about beforehand. I am actively learning on a daily basis about a major that interest me, this is what I want to do with my life. I have also gained confidence in myself that I can receive a higher education and become whatever I desire to be in life. I am creating and living my own destiny everyday that I am in school. College has been valuable to attend because I am working towards a better future for me and my family. I want to be able to show my kids one day my degree and tell them that for all of the hardwork they put in, the rewards are far greater.

By attending college, I have been able to show my children the importance of higher learning and that it is never to late to follow your dreams! I have increased my self esteem, self worth, and self importance. I have just received my Associates Degree ( the first in my family to do so!) and I plan on attending a four year college to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in the fall of 2010. After my bachelor's, I plan on going for a Masters in psychology. I dropped out of high school as a sophmore and received my GED in 1997. After working and supporting my son and myself, I decided it was time to go back to school. The experience at Rock Valley College has shown me that I am capable of pursuing my dreams, and willing! This has been valuable to me in more ways than I can express. The professors, students, clubs, and classes, have empowered me to live my life to the fullest and to appreciate and learn from each and every experience that I have.

What I have gotten out of my college experience so far is my health back. We have 3 children and a grand child on the way and we are so behind on all our bills. If I don't get any scholorships I won't be able to finish school. The time it takes me to do my homework and care for my son and other kids it helps keep my mind off of the terrible roller coaster we have been living for the last 2 years. I am a realtor and I am also use to working 14 hour days. Once the money went down my husband took over the business and I had to let the sitter go. I am not the type of person who can sit home all day with no purpose. I need to keep busy and t was't until I decided to enroll in school that I found a piece of me that had been missing. I raised my oldest daughter for 6 year by myself and took care of everything myself. So once I met my husband who is a partner it took so many pressures off of me.

I have learned alot about many different things. I am working towardss finishing up my associates in psychology. I think online colleges are great and it really fits into my schedule if it was not for this school I would not be able to find time to attend college.

I am learning new ways to think about things and how to think outside the box. I think those who do not attend college is not afforded this type of education.
