College has taught me a lot about time management and hard work. I have learned about studying a lot more because i rarely had to study in high school for good grades. This school has helped me not listen to what other people say about colleges because most people told me LSU was a party school but actually is a respectable university that takes pride in it's sports. LSU also takes pride in the academics. LSU also offers a different cultural environment than i was used to since i was from another state. I have learned a lot by attending LSU and i hope to be able to continue to attend this wonderful university.

Attending college is like having a new task to face, having a new responsibility to take, and having another way to make both my dream and my parents' dream true. In this one year I have been through, It was like the toughest time for me. I always feel like being put in the situation of losing myself, losing the direction of accessing my future. When I first had the feeling of myself , I felt college is so cruel that let you either obtain a wonderul future or go back to the origin or even worse. However, from the deeper aspect to see, college could be the guide for you to make more clearly what kind of person you want to be no matter how hard the process could be. Also, it was also like another chance for me to think everything over again , for me to decide which way I want to go and how to go. Because of attending college, I feel more certern about myself.

LSU has given me the opportunity to graduate with a teaching degree in music educaton, from a college with an excellent reputation in this field. I have been fortunate to study under excellent professors that take time to get to know their students. The music department is a college within a college, and to be able to attend with other like-minded, determined students has been wonderful.

Words really can't describe what I've gained from this school. I've learned so many new things, met so many new people, and experienced so many great things, two-hundred words will hardly do it justice. I've been given the opportunity to learn so many things about the world I feel I could not have in other universities. The campus is the perfect mix of nature and architexture at work, with various beautiful flouras and faunas on display near every building. The school's old buildings are also quite beautiful, particularly at night. My favorite sight is the clock tower at night; the lights make it seem like a shining beacon in the darkness. All the people here are very friendly, from students to teachers. The students have many diverse groups and organizations that allow anyone to gain membership, and the faculty is very kind and polite to me. The professors are very intelligent, and I really feel like I am being taught someone who truely understands the information. My first year in college will always be remembered as one of the best years of my life; I felt truely adult after that year.

College at LSU has provided me with a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Every day, I have to take a step back and enjoy everything that is going on. Though the academics are tough, I feel like through attending Walton High and earning my Eagle Scout Award last May, I have been prepared for the workload. The biggest adjustment for me has been the independance and time managemnt aspect of college. I play rugby for the LSU Rugby Club and am currently being trained to take the reigns next year as a co-president of the club. The time put into the sport, though it is not a varsity sport, is very much like one. I spend an average of 2-3 hours training daily, on the field, in the gym and video room, preparing for each match. As you can imagine, this takes up a large amount of time when it comes to academics and assuring that I keep a 3.0 GPA. Over the course of the past semester, I found ways to manage my schedule and even have plenty of time to visit with family that live in the area and spend some quality time to myself.

When I was in high school school was not important to me, I always thought college was the next logical step but didnt really invest anytime learning about it. When I graduated high school I learned the hard way how much work it takes to find a good school and to be accepted. Since my high school graduation I have buckled down, I focused all my attention on my one goals 1) Make it to medical school and 2) do the best I can in college. Since then I have gotten my grades up, ive learned through hard work comes great achievement and that is what keeps me going. The last 2 semesters of college I have made straight A's, I have studied to the point that B's are not going to cut it anymore. My mind set today is school and volunteering. If Im not in the hospital I am in the library studying. So what has college done for me? It made me realize how important it is to study and earn what you want in life and with hard work and continue succees I know I will reach my goal.
