I have gained a lot of knowledge from my professors, not just what they were teaching us, but some small life lessons that have helped me. It has been very valuable to attend because I know what I want to do with my life and I am striving for that. An undergraduate degree is just one degree that I would like to have so attending a small college has helped me develop the skills to become a leader and stand out of the crowd that surrounds me.

I have been attending my Dental assistant program now for about two weeks, at first I wasn't sure I was going to be able to go through this being that i'm a young married, mother of three and finacially not stable but after thinking it through decided to go through with it and happy I decided to do so. I want to be an inspiration to my kids and many others so they can know that nothing is inpossible as hard as it may be. My experience so far at ultimate medical has been amazing I've learned so much in these two weeks, who would of thought I would be learning about de vinci in dental school I can't image how much more I will learn in the months to come but so excited to do so. I've been out of school now for nine months and thought it would be hard for me to adjust to things but you can't imagine how everything just comes back naturally. I can't wait till the day my family can watch me walk down the aile the day of graduation.

College has truly been a time to find myself thus far. The classes I’ve taken have opened my eyes to ideas that I didn’t know anything about. I find myself not only broadening my horizons academically but also on a personal level. I have become involved in not only activities at the school but also in the community surrounding campus. Doane College has truly been a stepping stone leading me to my future. The things I’m doing, the people I’m meeting and the person I’m becoming at Doane are things that will be a part of me the rest of my life. The college experience has been valuable to me because it has given me the ability to explore myself. It allows me to develop into a well respected woman that will eventually be part of the working world equipped with a well respected Doane degree.

I attended Gaetan Raynal State College which is a national high school on the island of Mauritius. My island is located in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of South Africa. From my high school experience, I have learned the value of education, and choosing good friends, and doing extra curriculum activities. I know that the more educated one is, the better off one is. More opportunities are available and the sky is the limit for educated individuals. As teen choosing good friends who share the same values in life and understand the value of education help me to stay on the right track. Gaetan Raynal State College has been valuable to attend because as a student, I was not only taught about academics, but also was taught life lessons like friendships, self discipline, setting goals and achieving them, leadership and team work. The teachers are friendly and have a sincere interest in their students' academic success. The school has prepared me to go forward in life and progress to the next step in my life and academic pursuits.

Through my college experience, I have been able to broaden my views on life. Before coming to college, I accepted my parents religion and morals as my own, but since coming to college, I have been able to make my own choices as to what I believe is right. This has been the biggest change in my life. During my time in college, I have met people from many areas of life; rich, poor, east-coast, west-coast, and it has been exciting to realize that often, we really aren't all that different. Our experiences may have varied, but if you get the time to know the people around you, you can be pleasantly surprised.

It gives me the oppertunity to get the degree I need for the career I want. To be financialy stable for my children and myself is very important to me. Also being able to stay at home with my kids is a plus. I have many troubles with my son Shawn. It is impossible to find anyone who will watch him for me. The doctor still have not gotten his medications right. The most valuable reason for me to attend this college is I will recieve the ability to help my children have a better life. My children are the most important part of my life.

I attend the Word of Life Bible Institute and this school has been very valuable for my life becuase of the life change I have gone though with the help of the staff and faculty. Here the motto is "One year will change your life" and it is so true becuase of the power of the Bible and it's emphasis on how I am to live my life for God. This college and it's focus to spend as much time as possible in the Bible changes your outlook on life from one of a depraved mind to that of a mind that is focused on doing everything we do for God. The atmosphere here is catchable, almost like a disease. As a small campus, we focus on unity and doing things for the betterment of the other students. The two years I spent at this college have helped change my life.

What I have gotton out of my college experience so far is getting a taste of what real life will be in the years to come. By applying what I have learned in my future is is gonna determine how my future plays out for me. It has given me my base knowledge to survive in a career that I am very much interested in. Another thing that I feel I have gotten out of my college experience is how to communicate with others. When first coming to the school I knew no one, not a single person. By going out and talking to people I found it easier for me to make new friends. Not only friends bur also good relationships among staff and faculty members. It really gets you prepared for the real world. It has been valuable for me to attend because if I hadn't, I would have not gotten such a great education. Being the top rated school in Nebraska, the one on one education has definatly helped me get a more well rounded education.
