I've broken out of my comfort zone- reaching out to people, making new friends, and siezing awesome opportunities that school has to offer. High School was such a "mother figure" compared to college and the work involved. But being in college- having the opportunity to study, learn, create.. BE whatever you chose... that's valuable.

It has taught me how to survive on my own as far as getting up by myself and going to class. Basically, the rules of being an adult.

While attending Virginia State University I have learn that you have to stay focused and never let anyone get in your way. You have to stay true to yourself and be honest with yourself. This is a school where everything is based on politics. You have to be a certain shape or size just to fit in. I have learned to never give up on myself and always strive for the best.

My college experience has been a memorable experience. At first it was nerve wrecking to be away from home for so long but as you begin to get acquainted with the new environment, you would really dred going back home.

College life is independence and finding out what you want to do on this earth. It is an opportunity to spread your social and mental wings. Ideas that you may never have thought before and avenues of thinking are layed out before you and all you need do is pick them up and choose to use them and embrace them or dismiss them as this is your new world. You are exposed to social experiences from the time you wake up until you pillow your head that life in high school never afforded you and you are better for your exposure to life outside your comfort zone. You blossom because you can't help but grow from the emerging truths that we are all created unique and purposful all we need do is embrace the good and potential that comes from such a diverse people and that we all want the same things; love, acceptance, success.

Nathalie think logically! You are a smart and ambitious individual. Every school has the proper credentials to teach you. Stop being so hard headed. Going all the way down south to receive an education will not make you any smarter. It?s a whole different lifestyle down south. Be ready to be smacked by reality and the heat. Thoroughly examine your options, visit the schools, and talk to currently enrolled students. Get a wide aspect of the school you plan on attending for four years. It will make you or break you.
