As an ESL student, it was not an easy task for me initialy but now things are moving on the right direction. In fact, the current course i am taking at Columbus State Community College has improved my critical thinking. My instructors have done a great job by explaining and breaking down the essays from the Blair Reader. Their explanations by using daily life examples, other materials from different sources, and his unbiased ideas have also helped me to improve my analytical thinking. Writing a research paper, putting different ideas together, expand and explain them, and connect them to unrelated materials to make sense to audience was not an easy task for people like me at the beginning, but now I can count myself as one of the conquerors over writing a research papers. Writing always helps me to discover ideas, communicate to other people and create something for my readers.

My college experience has taught me what I'm good at doing, what I enjoy doing, and how to find a compromise I can succeed with.

Freshman year is always a year to experience. So far I have learned alot about this college experience and life in general.

It is hard to say exactly what I have gotten from my college experience because I am in the middle of getting exactly what it is I have come here for. I am certainly on my way to getting to know myself better than I have ever before. I have learned so much about the world that was hidden from me before. College gives students the chance to spread their wings and realize their dreams. In high school, friends were based off of (mainly) similar interests in music, sports, and just hanging out. College has been that and so much more. It is a place where people can find the friends that will last forever. This is because we are going into areas of interest that need to last forever, and what better place to find a long lasting friend than to meet them in a class meant just for that interest(ex. climbing, psychology, science). I suppose, it's not really what one gets from college, but what grows from college.

When i was a freshman in high school, a young girl i babysat was struck by a vehicle and died on the spot.

Im glad that im learning all about life safety and i hope to this day no one experiences what i went through.

I get along well with my professors and fellow classmates they are understanding and genuine. My classes has been fairly easy and doable; I understand the work and process of completing my courses.

I learned how to juggle between a job, school, fraternity, and my family life. It has been a life changing experience.
