Make sure you learn how to write good essays and improve your study skills. Try to learn a more about time management before going to college. Dont become roommates with a person you think you know from high school. Always ask for help from the professors. go to tutoring and be smart with doing homework.

Make sure that you manage your time right. Stay focus and follow instructions. If you need help always ask for it. Don't be scared to go the professors. they are not going to hold your hand. Enjoy the freedom. Do not drink or smoke.

My college experience has enabled me to feel confident knowing I am making progress toward the career I would like for my life. I would like to become a doctor, and know that it will take a lot of patience and dedication on my part to get the education I need. Sometimes I feel a little discouraged because I would like things to move more quickly and it can be daunting at times thinking of the all the classes and studying I need to do to reach my goals. However, this is teaching me patience- I am gaining more respect for people who are in the health care profession and I have a great deal of admiration for what they have done to get where they are. Every time I see a nurse, or doctor, I think that will be me someday. If they can do, so can I.
College has also helped me have a great appreciation of my mother who has raised me and my sister as a single mother. She has always put our education first and goes without so many things so my sister and I will have a good future.

I have grown personally, academically, spiritually, and socially during my college experience. Because of college, I am a more confident person! My knowledge and wisdom have increased. I have made so many friends and discovered so many truly genuine people during college, including professors, staff, and students. It has been valuable to attend this college because it has made me a better person morally.The people I have met at college have instilled in me a sense of moral integrity, which is highly valuable. I am a music major, and going to college has given me the opportunity to be more skilled at singing. My voice has improved much over time and I have hope in going after my desired career. In additon to academics, morals, and skill, college has helped me to have a closer relationship with God and Jesus, which I am grateful for. My faith increase, which happened because of the spiritual programs and people at the college, has made me realize the importance of the Truth. I used to be so ignorant of the Power of the Gospel, but now I realize it is the most important belief I will ever have, its effects lasting eternally.

The decision to go back to school was the best choice I have ever made for myself. I love learning and I love that it will all pay off in the end when I am able to work in the allied health field as a radiographer. College has taught me more social skills and has given me more responsibility and a deeper work ethic.

I've learned that life will deal you a crazy hand, and you need to know who you are before you can know what to do with what you're given. Through just my freshman year, I have learned who mostly I'm not. I've gained new ground on which I can continue learning about who I am by not relying on myself, but on God. I've learned where I don't want to be and how I wish not to live. It's a good elimination process when you don't know what you want to do with the rest of your life. Instead of grasping at straws and playing with my future, I'm weeding out what's all wrong for me so only the right will be left for me to choose and pursue.

My college experience has been valuable for many reasons. I have become an independent person. I have made many new friends. I have joined a faternity. I am member of an athletic team. I am learning the skills I will need when I graduate to help in my families business. The atmosphere at the school is relaxing and the school gives me many opportunities to explore where and what I want to do for my future.

What I got out from my college experience so far is that if you manage to work hard and put your mind on something, you can easily acheive it. There are going to be times where I may fall and stumble, but I always have to remember to get back up and start again. College has been valuable for me to attend becasue I saw myself grow up and mature in the last couple months than during my high school years. Its also valuable to me because I was the first to actually be able to go college, and I was glad to see my mom be proud of me for it.

I ahve learned a great dela of responisibility from being at college. Because my college is so small there is much more student and teacher interaction and i enjoy it. It allows you to get closer to your professors and be able to sit down and talk about assignments. Young Harris College is such an awakening experience, it has taught me to focus more on my studies and to get my work done before i have fun. With such a small school there is less distraction up here in the mountains. College has taught me how to interact with people a little better also; I'm not as nervous around people or to speak in fornt of a large group of people either.

If I were to go back to being a high school senior I would tell my self to take advantage of every opportunity given to myself. I would work harder in school so that it would not be such a hard transition. College is extremely harder than I think. I would also spend more time with my family before I went out on my own. Only being away for so long can teach you how important your relationships are.
