I have finally comes to know how important education is for my life. How it prepares me to get a better future. I have seen how real life is and how important self reliance is, and not relying on your parents and other to do everything for you. It is very important for me to attend in order to improve my talents and be more educated. When I accomplish this, I can help the government, the economy, the church and especially my family. It is also so valuabe for me to attend because I am from a very poor family and I have seen how hard it is get our needs in order to survive. There is nothing else I can do which will benefit us but to go to school, gain more education and then work.

The atmosphere here is so amazing. I love the people and you can't find a group or community like this anywhere else in the world.

Utah Valley University has been valuable to attend because its classes are perfect for my interests and major. As an English major, I have fully dedicated myself to learning about how different aspects of English in general help me with having a solid career. The classes I have taken so far have helped me figure out the direction I want to go in life, and without these classes, I don't think it would be possible for to have this major at all. As for the rest of my college experience, I enjoy making friends to know different people throughout my major. I believe that meeting people within my major is useful because I know they can help me in future classes and I know that we have similar goals. I think it's a lot harder to have anything in common with someone who is not in your major to talk to. Utah Valley University has been my dream school for the past couple of years. This school shows that they truly care about their students' education and where they go in life. I know I made the right choice in going to Utah Valley University, I love it!

Attending community college was a great decision. By going to a community college I was able to get many basic classes that I will need at a four year college completed at a lower cost and right near my home. My community college has great faculty that really want you to succeed and are truly interested in their students goals. As a part of the honors program, I have been challenged to do my best work as well as being able to work with amazing advisors to help me prepare for a four year college. Taking two years of my college experience to stay close to home was not only convenient and money saving, it also allowed me to hone in on where I wanted to take the rest of my education and gave me the background to do it.

At college, I walk into each class with the attitude of, "What will I learn today and how will I use this information?" In my opinion, this is the underlining reason students attend college. Everything I learn during college life is eventually applied to the world around me: from the introduction of new concepts, to expanding on previous ideas, to dispelling my own ignorance. All of this strengthens my ability to learn, absorb, and exercise all that I discover while at college. But, this is only a portion of what I've gained from my college experience. More importantly, I've discovered at college the reality of all that I do not know. But, college is the reminder of where that information lives and is available, should I choose to pursue it. And I do choose to pursue it. It is my willingness to learn because of the humility of my own ignorance, not despite it, that has made the opportunity to attend college so remarkably invaluable to me.

College has been an interesting experience personally since I've chosen a school over thousand miles away from home. But it has taught me many important lessons. The first of these being independence. I'm in a new place with no inital friends or family to help me. I've had to grow up and become an adult by learning to provide for myself, make my own decisions, and become self-reliant. I find this to be valuable because it makes me capable of standing on my own two feet in other situations and will prepare me for when I leave school and enter into a career. The second lesson I've recieved is an appreciation and tolerance of others. Going to school here in Hawaii has offered many occasions to experience different cultures and ideas. This has definitely increased my understanding of other people and opened my mind to other's viewpoints and working with different people, realizing that my way is not the only way. Not only will this also help in a career, but has overall, made me a happier, more loving, better person.
