My college experience has truely been unique. I have had to reevaluate every aspect of my life. I appreciate what Georgia Tech has given me academically, socially, and emotionally. The teachers and curriculum has driven me to develope new study skills and relationships with my professors. I have gained new best friends and study buddies with girls in my sorority and classes. My friends and teachers have helped me make the transition between high school and college easier. I now know that I am more than capable of doing anything that I set my mind too. Georgia Tech may have its setbacks and make me feel dumb at times, but it is a great education and my experiences here will surely pay off!

I have had a very tough road to college. My parents are unfortunately both suffering with life threatning diseases so my focus had always been divided, but i have found ways to make things work for the best for me. My college experience has been valuable because it gives me the opportunity to succeed and get into the real world and prove my worth. I have given everything to this school in order to succeed and will keep doing so in order to ensure I get the most out of my education and place myself in the best position to succeed.

My experience at the Georgia Institute of Technology has made me a more focused and happier person. I am currently a Biochemistry major looking forward to a career in nursing. During my time at Georgia Tech I have developed an even stronger work ethic. The faculty, staff, and overall atmosphere have helped me develop a passion and understand the value of working hard to achieve it. In extra-curricular activities I have developed organizational and task management skills through leadership positions. The friendships I have met here will stay with me the rest of my life. The knowledge I have received and will receive academically and socially has well equipped me to help others.

My college experience has put me out of my comfort zone. I attend a rigorous institute in which time, commitment, work ethic, and money constantly need a recharge. Tech has forced me to think outside the box. It has forced me to manage my time to almost perfect efficiency and never let the hard parts of life bring me down. Georgia Tech has and will continually teach me how to make mistakes. This school teaches bright adults how to face daunting tasks and fail and how to pick yourself back up and make life better again. Tech has taught me how to branch out for help, build networks up because everyone is struggling here at Tech just like everyone is struggling in life and needs a friend or college to turn to. I have learned to be independent; living 11 hours away from home I am on my own and my choices will affect my life profoundly. Turning down acceptances like the Naval Academy and West Point has left me turning down much money, but I have no doubt that my record will prove not only needing but deserving of this aid to support my investment in a great education.

College for me has been quite an experience. I was not able to attend right away as I desired, due to financial issues, but when I started, I realized that this was the place for me. So far out of my college experience, I've gained independence. Growing up where many things were given to me with little effort on my part, going to college helped me to gain that sense of independence. Also from my college experience I have learned to juggle several things. I am a dancer, so attending dance school, going to college and maintaining my church duties that I've been doing for ten years, have been the main things I've juggled. This helped me to have better time management and understand my priorities. Attending college has been so valuable because I've expanded in several areas of my life; not just academically. I've grown in ways that I do not think I could have by just staying home or working instead of going to school. Even though I started at a community college, I'm still learning what I need to and I'm still moving forward in my life.

The most valuable thing I have acquired is the discovery that actual hard-work pays off in the end. I know that despite all the hard work, getting a Tech degree is worth it and will pay off in the end. This theory of life is an important one for any individual to live by.

Don?t go crazy your first year out. I know that you?ll want to try everything you can get your hands on, and in time, you will; but in the beginning, pace yourself. It?s important to get established academically.
Be aware of the company you keep. One of the best things about college is the incredible variety of people you will meet and befriend. Do as much of that as possible! However, if some of your friendships don?t support you in ways that you need, consider their value to you. Friends help friends get to class, and care about each other?s success.
Know your priorities. Make a plan and stick to it. One of the most important lessons you can learn during your college experience is stick-to-itiveness. You will be responsible for your life, and ultimately, that can be a great thing! Your college years are the years of ultimate opportunity, and if you stay focused and grounded, you can eventually go anywhere you want to go. Consider your choices seriously!
