College has shown me to believe in myself. Being from Colorado, moving out to Texas is nerve-racking experience. I was worried about adjusting to Texas, to classes, to life with a roommate.

College is not only an institution for higher learning, but it's also an institute for self realization.

I believe that through my college experience I’ve learned so much about life in general. Since I had to move away from my parents and into another city, I received the full experience of living away from home. I had to learn how to do so many things on my own. There was no one to cook for me, or to wash my clothes, or to wake me up. I had to learn what it was like to take care of myself when I was sick, get myself to class, and learn how to organize all my time. Living at college taught me to prioritize my study time and helped me realize when it wasn’t okay to go hang out with friends. College is the first step before I have to find an apartment and pay my own bills. So I believe that my freshman year was very beneficial, it has shown me what it would be like on my own in the real world. I know I have grown as a young adult. I am now smarter, wiser and more prepared to care for myself.

My college experience so far has been truly rewarding not only educationally, but in terms of growing into a more diverse person.

Since the college I attend is in the fifth poorest city in Texas, it has made me realize that everything I have is a blessing because many are not as privileged.

I actually had to pay attention, take notes, go to my Supplemental Instructors, even tutuoring. I was always the one to do the tutoring and I just felt so dumb because the material that I learned in high school only skimmed the surface of what I learned in college. College made me use all of my resources that they offered; I mean I need to get what I'm paying for and that's why these resources are there for me. It took a lot to realize that I needed help and didn't take long for me to take the issue by the reigns and suck up my pride because it wasn't doing anything but hurting my grades and my financial help.
