I have gotten confidence. I have learned that I have the ability to succeed no matter what. I know that when I graduate and go out into the real world to find a job, I have the skills I need to be a asset to any company. It has been extremely beneficial for me to attend MTSU for the knowledge it has given me. I do not only get just the need to know book information but students get the real life lessons that the professors give us to make us the best we can be.

I have been greatly benefited by my educational experience. Education is an investment I am making in myself to be of greater assistance to my community and to the future generations. I have seen how as my knowledge increases, my ability to do more increases also. When I first began attending the community college in my area I, I learned about a wide range of material that has helped me in my life even to this piont. I took a Spanish class and learned some basics that helped me when I was called to serve a mission to Uruguay for a year and a half. Although Spanish was one of my harder classes, it gave me a basis upon which I could learn this foreign language, which I did learn. Education is very important to me and I would like to continue to learn so that I can me an asset to the world in which I live.

When you make the decision to go to college it is life changing. All new people around you, you feel lonely and don't know anyone. It's a scary thought, but you go any way, not knowing how to meet new people. College is the best decision I have made in my eightteen years. My experiences has been amazing. I was scared at first but then I joined some clubs and made many new and amazing friends. I love college and all the wonderful people I've met here.

What i have gotten out of my college is more wisdom and knowledge. I have faced many difficulties in my first year in college because people put an image in my head that college makes people fail because of the difficulty. It has been a value to attend because the challege of classes is an addiction and it keeps me going and it keeps me intersted and focused. And it give me confidence that I am going to reach my career in the field of engineering. The image that people put in my head about college has motivated me to show them i can make it and anyone can.

My college experience has led me to be a better woman spiritually and professionally. I value attending this university because i get something here that many students dont. Here at mtsu i get the opportunity to grow spiritually with others who are also pursuing there passion in life. Along side growing spiritually, i have grown professionally because of an advanced studednt body and a higher academic standard. Even greater than all of that is the opportunity to learn with students from all walks of life. Whether they are disabled or from a different race or culture, this opportunity has extremely effected my life through personal relativity. Going to college at mtsu will be an experience i will never forget.

Within my first year of college I have gained so much knowledge on different subjects from psychology to history. By attending college it is helping me become a more well-rounded person in all aspects life. I have also been able to realize the importance college has on shaping your future and deciding what you want to do achieve in your future. By going to college, working part-time, and volunteering I have had time to prioritize my life and figure out what I want to major in. Although college maybe expensive I think that it is worth it to attend because what you gain from four plus year is knowledge that you can use for a lifetime. Even though I have only been attending college for a year, going on my second, and already feel like I have gained so much knowledge and interest in subjects that I never thought I would be interested, I can only imagine what three more years will do to my life and future goals. College is one of the best experiences a person can go through, not just for the social aspect, but because the way it can change your life so drastically.

My college experince is one i will never forget in my entire life. I have learned many lessons, made friends, and been well educated in the process. Here at Middle Tennessee State University I have gotten selfconfident in my time here. During highschool i was not the most out going person. But here at MTSU peers, friends, and professors taught me to believe in myself and keep my head up high. By believing in myself and my actions I can be very sucessful during my career.

The most important thing I have gained from my college experience is my future aspirations. I began college with an idea for my future, but the encouragement from a poor grade and a advisor I found my passion. Attending college has opened my eyes to the world around me. I have adapted and integrated with the diversity that is MTSU. Through my college experience thus far, I have discovered my future and rediscovered my present self.

Self reliance, responsibility and time management are a few things that I have gained from my college experience. No one could have prepared me for college. As much as parents try to prepare us they cant. My self reliance came from me having to wake up for my classes without the assistance of my parents. Getting to class on time and doing the work required gave me the sense of responsibility. Taking course full time gave me the experience of time management. Without learning those three experiences my college experience would have been horrible. I got the sense of being someboby as a college student, knowing I hold my future in my hand due to my education caused me to take my college experience seriously. Had it not been for the those things I learned in college I would not be returning back to school like I am coming this fall. Getting your education so you can contribute back to you community is one of the valuable reasons for me attending college long time ago and for me returning back to school to start a new career in healthcare.
