Indian River State College Top Questions

If I knew then what I know now about my college life I would say to myself, "always follow your heart without fear". I let go of alot of things without using wisdom, so I would tell myself: keep growing in my love for sewing and creating things that will make others and myself proud. I would give advise on not wasting time and money by not following my own dreams and to move to a city that will help me grow in the field of fashion and entrepreneurship. I would also say "Please read books on how to grow and mature in my thinking, how to grow in business. The more books I read the more I will grow strong in all aspects of my life." I would also say to myself "Believe in yourself because all things are possible with faith in myself and with the help of the Lord!". Erica, "Dont get caught up in people and things but trust yourself" But mostly I would say "Be you and enjoy who you are because you are Awesome and Prosperous"

Looking back at my senior year in highschool I would convience myself to take different classes that would count towards my AA degree.

I wish I could go back and tell myself not to stress so much and worry, that everything will work out like I hoped it would. I would tell myself to be more positive and have more faith and trust in myself and my life decisions. Chosing this college was one of the best decisions I could have made. It helped me devielop into the young lady I am today, and I am very proud of myself. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself that I achieved my goals. I wish I could also tell myself that it is okay to be nervous and be unaware of the unknown. After all college is just another stepping stone in life to becaome the person you want to be.

I have only been at Indian River State College for a semester now, but I love how the teachers are all so in tune with what they're teaching and their methods of teaching it is so interesting that I understand all the things they're teaching us. I love my teachers and I'm excited for next semester. It's been valuable because I've really come to understand things about Anthropology I didn't know before and I'm excited to grow in that Major. It's also valuable because my English teacher is strict and it really has to be a great, well written paper to get and A, which makes me work harder.

My entire college experience has increased my knowledge in many different areas. I've learned things and gained new experiences that allow me to further my education even more. I was able to meet all new people from all various classes, which was difficult at first due to the fact that I was a shy person. I've learned to speak more, study in new ways, and think logically. Now I go through each day knowing more and more and can reflect upon it during my everyday life and apply it. How this is valuable is hard to explain with words. It's priceless. I would not be where I am today if I didn't attend college. I feel smarter and more prepared for what will be thrown at me when life hits.

I have gained much from my college experience. I used to not apply myself to my fullest ability and procrastinated almost everything, but since attending college I try my hardest in everything I do.
