Weber State University Top Questions

To Myself: This letter is to share with you the precious gift of hindsight. Life, in all of it's fast pace splendor, sometimes allows us little time to stop and check where we are going and where we've been. Once you've been gone from High School for 25 years with a beautiful family of your own, you will find creeping into your life a craving for more education. You'll want it so badly that you'll reflect back on your earlier years and wish that you'd embraced more opportunities to gain knowledge. You'll wish you'd worked harder and got better grades, because now you have expected that of your own children! You will have learned that life is simply a bigger classroom environment where you are daily continuing to learn discipline, priorities, compassion, perspective and balance. These are valuable by-products of getting an education. My advise is to embrace every opportunity with all of your energy and drive. Know that there is a special plan for you, but that later in life when the opportunity arises to continue your education, you'll end up going after it with all of your heart.

Well I have gotten a lot out of it! Right now I am currently a Junior at Weber State University. S •Currently I am living on my own being 22 years of age and being single. Through my schooling so far my cumulative GPA being a 3.2 shows that I am a good hard working student trying to do his best while working full time and going to school fulltime so I can pay my bills and make ends meet. In addition to this I have served a 2 year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from December 12, 2007 to December 16, 2009 where I paid my own way.

I have a good education plus experience of higher learning and living on my own. It was important because it let me discover my limits and what I am capable of.

I have received so much out of my college experience so far. This is my Freshman year so a lot of changes have happened over the course of this last year. It was difficult for me to decide where to attend college before I graduated from High School because I wanted to attend the best University I could for what my major would be. Finally I found Weber State which has a phenomenal Musical Theatre Department. When I came and auditioned for the department to be accepted, I felt so comfortable and realized very quickly this was the place for me. That comfortable feeling has stayed with me through out my college experience so far. I feel comfortable in learning, growing, and discovering. I am learning so much both in my major and outside major courses. My smaller class sizes allows me a fantastic opportunity to have a better learning experience. Moving out and attending Weber State has been such a blessing and correct decision in my life. It has been such a smooth transition in my life and I attribute that to this incredible University and Staff. My name is Chris Weaver and I bleed Purple, Go Wildcats!

In college I was able to gain confidence in what I wanted out of life and who I wanted to be. I was very young and I had different goals and a different idea of what I wanted to be. I had professors and friends who helped me gain confidence and perspective. I ended up changing my career path and gaining confidence in myself, my abilities, and my beliefs. The service projects and experiences that Weber State provided gave me valuable experience for my resume and my career. I've impressed employers and professors with the amount of experience I already have. College gave me an awareness of the world and how much I can affect it for good. I never imagined that I wanted to be a leader of anything until I saw the need for me to step up during my undergrad. I feel like I can do anything because I have already conquered hurdles that I wanted to avoid because I was sure I would fail. I wish every college student could get that much out of their time in school.

With my college experience is that going to college online is much harder than going to a campus. It is very hard and you have to work for that A's and B's that you get. The teachers are really nice and they email you back as quick as they can. We do forums and we get to know that other students in the class. I have proven that I can do it and its hard but when I am done it is going to be worth it and I will be very prode of what I have done. I am showing my kids that no matter how old you are you can do anything you want to do.

So far I have taken about have of my required classes and three classes towards my major. Most of my classes expaneded on what I was taught in high school anf it have been very value to know the details of why things are/were done the way they were done and how things work. I've also enjoyed more of my classes compared to high school. Learning from different students and different points of veiws has had the biggest impact on me though. Attending classes with people with who are differnent ages, who come from different backgrounds and places, I find their views on issues so interesting that my classes become less boring. Also I find myself being more outspoken about my veiws and participate more in class. Over all I have to say so far my college experience has been awesome. I've become a better student, not a timid "nerd" in the front of the class but I'm social student who helps other student and isn't afraid to argue my points.

My first year of college was something new to me. It was something different from all the other times i have attended school, elemenary to high school. I felt a different vibe when i was attending college because the enviroment was different. The teacher's behaviors were different because they did not baby you like they did in high school. I had a vareity of teachers as well becasue they can change throughout the semester. That took some getting use to because that meant that I would have to adjust everythime to my new teacher's ways. College also costs more than any other school i have attended and that is because college comes with a more distinct outlook. From the paying for classes, textbooks, trying to get loans, it is a difficult process. I am a sophmore in college now and i would have to say that college has been a learning and growing experience for me. It helped shape me as a person and helped me mature in a way to where i know i can be a responsible adult and accomplish new tasks and obstacles in the future.
