American InterContinental University-Online Top Questions

I would tell myself to push myself a little harder. I would tell myself that my grades really are important and so is my attendance records.

I have just currently enrolled in college at American InterContinental University Online and start my classes on February 7th. Even though classes do not start until the 7th, I have been able to enroll in clubs and look at some of my classmates profiles. I am very excited to attend my classes as they will give me the education I need to earn my degree. I plan on earning my Associate’s Degree in Business Administration with a Concentration in Criminal Justice and then getting my Bachelor‘s Degree in Criminal Justice with a Specialization in Forensic Science. It will be very valuable for me to attend this school so I can fulfill my academic goals. My academic goals are to one day become an investigator and work in homicide. After I am an investigator for a few years, I plan on applying and going to F.B.I academy.

I have got more from my brief college experience than I ever imagined I would. I feel almost as if I have met a new person . I have always seen myself in a certin way, it seems like sometimes I am standing outside of myself looking...this is me I say to myself. I am not sure why I felt that it would be at the end of my college experience that I would feel like I had learned something, I have already learned so much. Valuable, that doesn't begin to be a big enough word to encompass what this experience means to me. This is a luanching pad, I am getting what it will take to go as far as I want to go. College is where people go to get further education to get the job they want. I admitt it is what brought me here, however, the self confidence, being made aware that I excell when I am pushed beyond what I thought was my limit.....I can not even begin . I am happy I made the decision to go to school, it was the right decision for many reasons.

I have gotten a much better understanding of the world around me and the people in it too--overall. I also persued and gained more specific information in Business and Computer Networking (as well as IT operation and funcitionality) as far as my majors are concerned. I just hope that somehow I can pay for it all--when the time comes. Thank you.

My college experience has allowed me to learn business skills that will prove valuable in my career, such as strategies on how to make a business successful. Because my University's program is accelerated, and as its campus is online, I have an opportunity to acquire work experience and quickly achieve a degree simultaneously. This is an advantage that will give me a head start in both my career and in life. I am considering running someday for public office. Using business knowledge obtained from my studies, and refined from using them during my career, I hope to have a positive effect on government policy, making it easier for people to live their lives. I believe that my college experience will become more and more valuable as my education continues, as will the knowledge and skills I obtain become more and more valuable as my career and life goals evolve, and as I develop as a person.

I graduated high school two years ago and have always wanted to attend Warren Wilson College but have been discouraged by the outrageous cost of tuition. I am very hopeful that my experience at Warren Wilson will help me succeed in the Peace Corps and other environmental and cultural opportunites that other colleges may not as successfully provide. I am hardworking and determined to raise as much money as I can to get into and through this school. Please help make my dreams come true!

After retiring from a company that did not recognize my scholastic achievement(s) and being deprived of promotional opportunities, I decided to continue my educational aspirations in the field of educational and it has prepared me to be more cognizant of of the problems we will face or are facing now if we do not prepare ourselves for being competitive in the ever changing global economy. Technology is ever changing and we need to embrace technology now. All children are cognitively, linguistically, and emotionally connected to the language and culture of their home. Intervention where inequities or mistreatment occurs demonstrates and insists on understanding mutual respect and acceptance of others and of others' differences in order to make good citizens of ourselves and others. A good education opens the door to our destiny and to being successful and we owe it to ourselves as recipients to make concerted efforts to place ourselves in positons or places where we can give back and make a difference. In achieving my goal/aspiration proves beneficial because of the sacrifices I made and the valuable contributions attained during my tenure which could not be met without the superb guidance and direction of faculty.

A college experience has given me a second chance at a future. Just two years ago, I barely graduated high school with an interest in joining the military. I didn’t have the funds to go to a good college. Instead of the military, I took two years off to do community service. As I tutored elementary students I learned a college education is just as important as passing the 3rd grade. It wouldn’t make sense for me to teach students how to read if I wasn’t doing the same. I have been in school for about 3 weeks. It has been one of my best decisions. I am officially happy and content with where my life is headed. I’m following my dream of being an Architectural-Engineer. I’m not only doing this for my students, but also for my biological, adopted and U of D Mercy family.

Being the first one in my family to graduate from college that in itself is a huge accomplishment for me. I have set the foundation and standard for the younger people in my family and have inspired older generations to continue with their education as well. Having my degree has allowed me to obtain a stable job and from this job I have purchased a home, car, etc. It has also allowed me to continue with my graduate degree. It has been extremely valuable to me to be able to continue with my education because without it there is no certainty as to where I would be. I intend on going as far as I can go with my education and consider myself a lifelong learner.

Attending a community college was definetly not part of my plan for my life after high school. I envisioned attending a four-year school where I could dorm and study while having a minimal social life. I wanted to meet different people and explore new horizons. I feel as though entering a community college has made me work harder because I feel ashamed to be there; being born in this country with no criminal record and not speaking english as a second language this excludes me from being in a community college.I will say I am ashamed but also determined to attend a four-year school. I will work really hard because believe me I know that I do not belong in a community college, I belong in the big leagues where I will be a leader among leaders.
