College has taught me that we all have time. It is up to us how we want to use it. When we put our time into it we can do it. It is all about priorities. If everyone in the world were to study more and I have that fire to learn who knows what kind of things we could have today. Everyone has great potential to learn and progress and do great things. I am just starting on my journey in college I know it will take a lot of my time I must push forward and be diligent with the end goal in mind. The end goal not just to graduate. It does not matter if I graduate or not but if I can learn something on the way and help to make this world better for all of us. I have been blessed with the oppurtunity to attend college. I cannot imagine why people don't go to school when we can! People all over the world would die for the chance to learn like us but they do not have that chance. Learning and progressing each day has made this experience valuable so far.

I have acquired an education that will help me find a job in the career field I have chosen and give me the skills I need to perform my job well.

I feel like I have really understood why people go to college, not just for the education but it's all about the experience. Without the experience of college, the staying up late at night studying, working for hours upon hours studying for a test, and lets not forget the social aspect, it helps us grow into who we want to be and it helps us figure out who we really want to do with our lives to stand above the crowd and be your own person.

I have gotten a amazing amount of knowledge in a surprisingly short amount of time. The professors, instructors and students make learning and practicing new skills easy and comfortable. I'm currently in an EMT Basic class for my Emergency Service major and the life saving skills I have learned with stick with me for the rest of my life. They could help me save a life in the future and it'll be because of my college experience. I've also learned how to be responsible and proactive. School is difficult and I believe that if you can get through school, you can do anything.

My college experience has been extremely valuable to me. My university has helped me to shape who I am and decide what I want to do in life. My professors have been extremely helpful when making decisions and most have been willing to work with me. I have decided to major in English Education, mainly in secondary school. I want to help students learn and go on to college just as my teachers and professors have helped me. My time at Utah Valley University has been amazing and valuable in learning new skills and creating new friendships that will last a life time.

What I am getting out of my experience is a sence of validation. In going back to school I've learned that I am on the autistic spectrum. I've also learned that I am as smart as I have felt that I am I just come at the world from a completely different angle that rest of the world. I'm also learning that I'm not alone and that I can succeed where I had previously thought I couldn't.

Out of the two schools I have attended in college this university definiatley is better than my previous college. It is very clean. The environment is wonderful. It is incredibly friendly and I feel safe being there. There is no crime. My level of education after attending is much higher than my previous college. I am very pleased with Utah Valley University overall.

College was a great chance for me to learn how to interact with different types of people. I played two years of football at winston salem state university and got the chance to learn the game better from some great coaches. I had to leave school because of some major finance problems. Now i have two kids and engaged to a beautiful and out going woman. College taught me to never give up even when times get really tough. That's why i've enrolled back in college at the age of 23 years old and im going to finish this time in. Money has always been a problem for me but i continue to grow strong in my LORD AND SAVIOR so no task is to big for me to over come anymore. A blessing will soon come onto me to help me provide to finish school. As i have gotten older, i now focus on my future of GREATNESS and not on my time now of weakness.

I have been able to start on the road to a degree that has always been an important part of my life. I will be able with my degree to share my knowlege and life lessons learned with the patients that I am in contact with. I need the degree so that I will be priviledged to take care of people when they are their most vunerable, scared and in need of sympathy. I want to be the one to be there for them

I really enjoyed my time at Utah Valley University. I met many new people and made a lot of lifelong friends. My couselors were very helpful. The classes I took helped me decide on a major. The professors were very helpful and wanted me to succeed. They worked day and night to ensure that I would have a rewarding experience. I always knew where I could find the help I needed from various labs, where the tutors there made it so much easier to understand difficult math problems. What have I recieved out of my college experience at Utah Valley University? I recieved a good education, excellent friends, and a promising future in persuing my dreams. Utah Valley University will get you on your feet and on the path to excellence.
