What I have gotten out of my college experience is that I'm not afraid to speak in front of people anymore . The college life is diffrent from high school. The people here has no drama and they don't judge you for who you are . They are here to learn that all. Being in college I can choice what I want to major and be responsible for my own action as in getting to school on time and make sure I pass the class. The why it has been valuable to attend at an communtiy college is that being here help me afford to go to school without quiting school because I love going to school and if I have to work teo job just to put my self in school I will do it.

The training prepaired me for my carrer and I didn't have to spend too much time. I got the main meat and potatos of each class so that I could move on. I have met a few of my classmates and the college is always willing to help in the job search.

I got an amazing sense of accomplishment out of my college experience. When I first started my education I did not realize how much it would make me stretch and how much it would help me to get through some hardships that came after I graduated. I think, because I was able to attend an online college, it helped me to know myself better and helped me to rely on my own judgement. Soon after graduating (October of 2007) my family found out that my father needed a kidney transplant and in the initial testing found out that I was a near perfect match. I was able to donate a kidney to him exactly a year after graduating. While recovering I began to help a close friend of mine who was terminal with cancer. She died this past Memorial Day. I believe that putting myself through college first helped me to get through those two circumstances. They in turn have strengthened me to continue my education even further.

Out of my college experience I have gotten more comfortable in my own skin and feel the power of being educated. In excelling in school I have also gained the knowledge and ability to be confident, speak confidently, and most importantly I know I can always turn to education to better myself. I have learned that most things don?t come easy but I need be self motivated to mold my future. I have been taught with willingness, discipline and determination, hard work, and occasionally making sacrifices? with a can do attitude anything is achievable. Having an education makes things that are desirable in life more attainable. I have a deep appreciation for the educators that I have had the pleasure to work with. They have taught me more than just the contents of the textbook. They have shared many life experiences and words of encouragement with me to motivate me to do the best I can everyday. And everyday I do the best I can. I believe everyone has control of their destiny; I am taking hold of mine.

I think a lot of high school students have a sense that they should go to college, but they are not sure why and are not really fond of school. If this matches your thought then community college can be a good option. You can try out some college-level courses without committing years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars to the experiment. You can start thinking about your major while you are taking some GE classes with low cost. I know a lot of high school students do not know what they want to do for their future. This causes a lot of college freshman or sophomore students switch their major and start everything all over again because every major asks different courses as requirement.

Attending college had been one of the most educational and higher learning experience for me. When I left home the other students then became my brothers and sisters to where we have our ups and downs in college. With our ups and downs we get the strength to work together and also help each other out in our quest for knowledge. While the professor's became my parents, they are the structure that held me up, when I did not understand what needed to me done. The professors are also the ones to guide me in a direction to where it would prepare me to enter into the reality of the working class after I was finished with my AAS degree. It is Valuable to attend college because "education is the key to success", without an education I could not have been doing the things that I need to do. A reasonable amount students does not have the fundemantals of reading and writing skills in order to enter college. With there lack of knowlege they inturn would get low paying jobs and also live below the poverty level. t "knowledge is Power", the more you learn the more you know.

My name is Katelyn Wilson. My college experience started with the scholarship application process. I believe that in my hard work to pay for college, I did some growing up. I learned that if I work hard, I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Once I got to school, my whole world changed. I learned that high school, as it turns out, was easy. The classes were easier and the teachers had lower expectations. College has been tough, though that is to be expected. I have had some days where it seems as though I will never survive college. This feeling, however, has made my will to succeed even stronger. College has been valuable to me, in that it has made me as a person, stronger willed. I know that the harder I work, and the more effort I put in, the more I will get out of life.

My college experience has opened up a whole new world for me. A world filled with creative, talented, and beautiful people from around the world. Going to college online is very hard, as the courses are accelerated vs. a standard college class. Online has taught me to manage time, manage projects, and to manage family much better. Online College/education has given me a whole new perspective on life. Because of this I have been going to school online now working towards my MFA degree in Web Design and New Media. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything. I will be 60 years old in August, and now know, thanks to my college experience, we are never to old to learn.

Having been away from high school for many years, and having had the opportunity to establish an excellent career, there are still some recommendations I would like to like to pass on to myself as a high school senior. Although I went straight from high school to college for a year and a half, I found myself dropping out of college to take care of my spouse, while he finished his education. At the time, this was acceptable, due to cultural norms. Today, as I look back, I would encourage myself to continue working towards my degree straight out of high school. Now that I have re-enrolled in college, I am learning a multitude of theories, practices and tools I could have used in my career. I used to think a degree was just a piece of paper that might earn me a higher salary. Now I realize that the content of my education can actually make my job easier and advance my knowledge in my field. I have the life experience to relate to all sectors of the public. Now I am adding a knowledge base to increase my effectiveness and am becoming a recognized professional by colleagues.
