Once students hit college they are always in for a suprise. Almost every student would change one things about their high school career or just about what they know in high school. If I could go back to my senior year of high school, I would tell myself not too wear myself out. My first year of college, I attended the University of Findlay in Findlay, Ohio. There I had two off-campus jobs, was involved in six different clubs and organizations and also double majored and double minored. I love being involved and busy but I did not realize the damand the classes alone would have. I basically bit off more than I could chew. I am still capable of being busy but there is only so much anyone can handle. I had to learn this the hard way.

Overall college experience has been one of the best experiences I have lived through, I have enjoyed every moment of it. Is interesting becaue I never even planned or thought I would be living on campus for all four years of college but it has been the greatest years of my life and I would do it all over again in less than heartbeat. The experiences, friends, and knowledge I have gained will always stay with me and no one can't take the away from me. College has not just been about the books and burying my face in the studies, I have manage to make amazing friends, do tones of school activities, be an Orientation Leader, work for my school, given speeches infront of hundreds of people, gained an education, and experience life occurrences that I would have never experienced if I was not part of this college. All in all college has been great and it makes me sad is almost over though I'm very happy to feel that I can handle myself out there in the real world after I walk the stage.

I have been graced with a REVELATION and SELF-WORTH from my college experience. Once a young mom Dealing with diapers and such Vomit on my gown and Hair looking rough Someone said "Go back to school !" College bound I was This was definitely New. Reading, Writing, and Learning What A Joyous Thang! I Emerged a New Person with Something to Gain Acheivement, Knowledge, and an A on the Test. I Became A Young Woman No Longer A Mess. A Smart Young Lady with a near perfect GPA, Not just a Mom Not just a Maid I Became Connected To The World Abroad. I was even President of The Anthropology Club! College is an Invaluable Experience to me. It gave me the Revelation of Who I Am and Could Be.

There are alot of activities to do around the school and it is very small so everyone basically knows everyone. The classes are amazing and there is always something new i am learning from a lot of different point of views around the school.

So far I've gotten the most challenging and rewarding educational experience. I've not only altered my views towards other people and their opinions but in becoming more accepting of who and what people stand for I've decided on the person I want to become. College has not only helped me grow and mature but I feel I possess a better artistic ability than ever before. I know how not only to be a leader but I've learned the importance of being a team player as well.

Based on my experience as a freshman last year I can with all honesty say that the transition could not have been any smother. The faculty, staff and the student body was very inviting and helpful when it came to settling in and figuring out the way around campus. Although, being away from home was difficult at first it was comforting living in a small campus where everybody knew everybody, almost like a big family. Being the first in my family going to higher education in a foreign country I was looking for a college with a good quality rather than quantity. Education has always been a priority in my life so coming to Mount Ida it not only gave me the right intensity of challenge that I needed but also the opportunity to live in a community where I was able to make wonderful friends. Thus, going back to the question of what I would have advised myself as a high school senior I would say that I would have encouraged the decision of attending Mount Ida College. The amount of support from the staff, faculty and friends made college life and the transition smooth and enjoyable.
