Huston-Tillotson University Top Questions

In the last semester as a college student, I've learned many principles of being a better student then I was before. These principles include actually being in class early, taking notes during the lesson, and being more active during the lesson. Before my college experience, I never was serious about school and now that I attend college; my perspective about school has completely changed. Attending college has made me a better person in ways that I would have never of guessed before. Now I actually do all my work and study for all my classes instead of just waiting for it to be over like I would in the past. All in all my college experience has been nothing less of life changing, having realizing this only makes my attending of college even more valuable.

I have gotten so much out of college for my first year. I have learned that you have to find a way to motive your self because know one esle will. You have to keep or self organized and keep track of each class because some teach will not tell you that the prject is due the next class day, they only give you the due date onces and the rest is up to you. I have learned that it is good to get involed on campus because if you dont then your college experience will be long and boring. Getting out is good. You must learn how to balacess your work and your friends. Typing to study in a loud place may not work for you, you may have to go to the libary. Then go hang out with your friends.

I have gotten a lot out of the college experience, not only how the mange my time, but how to talk to people. Time mangement was the hardes for me because I like to put things off to the last minte then for get all about it. I have learn that if you take your time with that assessment your grades tens to get a lot better then if you do it the night before. How to talk to people was also a very importent thing to know. You can not just go up to any one a give them a huge and say hi my name is angela gallimore. You go up to people and shack their hand. That is also something I have also learned the way you shack someones hand say a lot about you as a person. As you have readed I am learing a lot in college that I did not ever had even cross my mind.

Honestly this college didn't give me the real college experience but they did provide me with the support I needed when things were not going in the right direction. Some of the professors at this university really helped me to stay in school and now my GPA has risen and continues to rise.

Going to college makes you be a young responsible adult. It is very difficult to just enter the real world dealing with economic difficulties and other big issues. I learned to depend more on myself and believe that I can do what I set my mind into doing. Attending college just helps you learn that things will be done only by yourself and if you need help you will have to go and seek the help that you need. Attending college is the biggest test of our lives just to see if we can actually make it and surpass all the work, the stress, and all the tests that we have to overcome.

Being in a college institution for nearly a year, I have came to realize the true importance of a good college education. College is a time for many young adults to branch out of their shell to experience new experiences and to begin the rest of their adult lifes. For me, college is a ticket to success. A ticket to insure that my future job/life style will be a more educated and fullfilling one. In todays society, it is extremly hard to harness a "Good" career without some sort of college education on your belt. My guess, within ten years or so, not even a bachelors degree will cut it for many major businesses. I treat every experience I encounter in my life as what it is, an "experience". Going through the good times and the bad times that life throws at me, I try not to let it affect me but to just Learn from them. College has been, and will continue to be one of the best experiences that I have been blessed to be a part of. Education is essential to success. And I will be successful.

One does not know how strong they are till the only option you have is to be strong. Transfering from high school life to college life is a major transformation. In high school, one hears stories about how hard college is and how stressful it but. But in reality, college is only hard if one makes it that way. If i were to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior i would tell myself to be prepared for everything. Life is what you make it, and if you chose to be lazy and not use your time wisely, you will not let yourself become successful.

The advice I would give myself is plan early. I think waiting the last mintue to do stuff was my downfall. I think if you get an early start you don't have many things to worry about. I would also appy to a lot more schools, so i wouldn't have to settle for the first school that i get accepted to. I would fill out many scholarships so I can have the proper funds to go to the school of my choice. I would also take some time and reseach college life. I would do that so i could know what to expect my first year as a college student. It is good to know the pros and cons about college.

I would have told myself to be more assertive, and to take more initiative in learning all the various things I needed to know about scholarships and financial aid, and due dates. More generally, I would have just told myself to talk more. I would have told myself "communicate more with your teachers", as far as understanding certain assignments, making sure they knew about situations that would interfere with me completing assignments on time, or attending their class on certain days; mostly making sure they knew how interested I was in passing the class. I would have also said "don't be so passive about due dates", "be more punctual". Most of all I would have told myself to hold on to the relationships I had with people from my school and people from my city, and to take more initiative to establish and maintain relationships with people who can help me. That was my biggest downfall.
