Alexander

I am currently a student at San Jacinto College-Central campus and have had a great experience. The counselors put me on the right track in 2008 and when I leave in May I will have an Associates degree in Health Sciences. Each teacher I have taken has been really supportive in helping me learn the materials necessary. I am receiving the same education that I would have received at a four year university for less money and my classroom is more personal because the classrooms are alot smaller so you receive a lot more one on one with the teachers. To me, this school has given me an experience of college without the overwhelming idea of being completely on my own. I am currently living at home and with San Jac, they didnt "baby" me like in high school, but the were reasonable and willing to work with me. If I needed help there was always reasorces available. My freshman year there was a student day where all the organizations would come and share the ideas of that organization and you could receive information about getting plugged in. Overall I am satisfied with the education I have received.

I have gotten to be a more responsible and independant person by living on my own in a dorm and doing what I have to do instead of being forced before going to college. I have also gotten tons of friends from a loving club that enjoy anime the same way that I do and meeting one of my bestest friends I've ever had by being randomly assigned as roommates living and spending a lot of time together in a dorm. All of this and more has made it very valuable for me to attend because I have met and made friends with so many people that have made me much more outgoing person and learning so much that I wouldn't have learned in high school or anywhere else I could ever imagine which gives me more opportunity to do things like hopefully studying abroad in Japan this summer so I can meet evern more amazing people.

What I have gotten out of my college experience is that life is not easy and that things in life are earned not given. Attending college has helped me to grow into a much more mature person. It has been so valuable to attend because I have the privilege to be apart of a higher education. And that is the most precious gift of them all. This is something that no one can take from me. Attending college has given me the chance to pursue my career choice as a nurse practitioner.

I have received a grade A education from my prestigous university, and I would not chose any other school. My school may not be the best in the style, or on the top of the rankings, but we are there and mostly importantly "I am one", which is our schools moto. And above all it's been valuable from the extended amount of resources available for me and the friends and knowledge that I have gained.

Having attended both a State University and a Two-Year County College, I have come to understand the importance of college experience. College is a young person's first taste of the real world. It is a time when those dependent on parents and guardians can be slowly introduced to what life is like independently. My college experience has given me a greater definition of the term responsibility. It has taught me how to carefully manage my time and the importance of hard work. A college experience is very valuable because you are also rewarded a multitude of intangible benefits from lifetime friendships to future networking.

My college experience has opened me up to many different cultures. I have come in contact with many people that i would not have had to chance to be acquainted with in my small high school. I've learned about the importance of diversity and have loved every minute of it. college has been a valuable experience not only because i will be awarded a worthwhile career, but because i have made new friends along the way that will sat with me for therest of my life.

Choosing to attend college at MTSU was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Every step I have taken academically has helped me better understand what I want out of life. Going to MTSU provides me with a very positive atmosphere to learn in. Everything on campus is very accessible. The library is a great place. By going to MTSU, I have learned that I would not have rather attended any other college. I could not be more pleased with my experience. I feel like I am very well equipped to go into the world of work. I am very excited for my next few and final years.

My college experience has given me "light." Light at the end of the tunnel. Light to see forward and continue on. Light that illuminates my life with a profession. Light for my children who will hopefully see what I did and choose a similar path and go to college. Light for others to see that anything is do-able if you put your mind to it and it doesn't matter your age or ethnicity. College is so valuable because it helps raise your level of thinking. It helps put you on a level with others who are also seeking a better life. College gives you a way to contribute and give back because you're so grateful to have made it through and finally experience a better life. It is the most valuable gift you can give yourself and your family.
