I am SOOOO close to what I want to do with my life!

During the short time that I have been attending college, I have learned life lessons that are sure to help me for the rest of my life. Since I grew up in a small town, throughout grade school I was surrounded by people who were just like me and grew up with the same values, beliefs, and struggles as I. Coming to college forced me to be exposed to people from all walks of life. I've learned that I must be able to tolerate others and their opinions while maintaining my idividuality. I now know that one must find a good balance of studying and socializing. It has also come to my attention that one should never go through life thinking they don't need anyone. Networking is key, and you shouldn't be afraid to lean on your peers. Attending college has taught me that it is imperative that I set goals for myself, work hard towards them, and reach them despite any minor or major setbacks I may experience. I accept the fact that life is not, nor will it ever be easy. College has shown me that I must remain resilient in order to persevere.

I want to learn as much as I can and help fix the world. I plan to do this by earning a degree in agriculture/ botany to contribute to the production of plant life and sustainable resources.

It also helped me to survive on my own and stay grounded in the morals I have been taught as a child.

I picture myself senior year slacking off and taking everything easy because I had major senioritis and was a "senior". However, if I could go back in time I would tell myself to stay focused and keep my eyes on the prize which was being able to go to the institution of my choice for free. I also would tell myself to save up my money the summer after my high school graduation, because you never know when you will need it during school. I'm also doing Army ROTC so I would tell myself to be pepared for rigorous training and handling school and ROTC.

Starting college can be a nightmare and can be a very difficult experience to adjust to, especially for a freshman that does not know the transition that he or she might have to undertake coming from high school. So often, dropout rates increase because incoming freshman don?t stay on task. It is easier for a student to finish school or even for him or her to exceed in school if they had someone giving them advice on how to thrive in their scholastics. Always attending class, staying focused on your goals, and just being yourself is the advice that I would give to anyone just starting out in college. College is full of excitement and memorable experiences. It is up to any student of any class to take the advice that is given for sure accomplishment, but intelligent for the youngest to take heed at an early stage. Attending class to learn the information, staying focused on goals, and remaining who you are as a person, because it is so easy to be pressured in college, could possibly be the only blueprint to success while going through this new transition.
