Even fewer can say that they graduated. I want to become a statistic; one more person that graduated. I honestly do not believe that I would have been the same person have I not attend college.

My college experience for my first year has been great for me. I was nervous coming in at first because I wasn't sure about making new friends and studying as much as I needed to in order to pass my classes. The diversity and people there really helped me through my first year. We set up groups to study for classes and became close friends throughout the year. I joined a fraternity to meet new people, but it wasn't all that it cracked up to be so instead I joined a couple of clubs that the campus provided. This campus really lead me to new experiences and helped me meet several new friends along the way. I really enjoyed spending my school year at ASU and I look forward to going back in the fall this year to do it all over again. My studies and school work are most important to me and going to this college has made both of those a huge part of my life.

The past two years at my local comunity college have been varey benificial, I developed the basic skills in the art feild. While working in class you talk to your teacher and fellow class mates, allowing your people skills to develope. With out attending class it would be near impossible to obtain the skills professionals use in the real world. Attending class also allows you to get valuable feed back from your classmates during a critiqu. Working hands on is a major way of learning that works for me. If I were to miss a class it would be difficult to make up the time especialy since Iam a fine arts major, working in class allows me to use all the tools the school has to offer. I have relized the more time I put into my projects and assignments the better they turn out and the more information I obtain. Being in class alwos me to see what other students are doing seems to spark my creativity, causing me to think how I can improve.
