I have learnt a lot from my experience at Oklahoma Christian University. l have grown as a persone and as a christian . Today I want to share the same kindness that has been shown to me. My english and writting skills have improved and are a still getting better. I have gained confidence in my self as time goes by and I belive in myself more as I gain new skills. There is still some uncertinty about what God's plans are for my life but I believe OC is the right place to stir and gide me in the wright direction. I have learnt more than what my major has offered me. I am able to speack in public without fear of being judged, and express my self clearly and completely. Oklahoma Christian University has a good reputation for getting its pre-med majors well prepared for medical school. Therefore I am confident that with help of my proffesors by the end of my four year undergraduate program I will be prepared to go throught medical school and become a Doctor. Today there is no where else I would rather be than in college.

From attending Oklahoma Christian University (OCU), I learned that being disciplined is important. In oppose to high school, colleges requires students to be disciplined as students have more freedom. They have to decide what to do with their time. It is easy to get distracted and put off homework. OCU has showed me how to be disciplined with my free time. Time management is one of the biggest challenges for a lot of us, but I feel like my college prepared me to not procrastinate. The teachers would let us know what projects or tests are due in advance. They also gave us an approximate time we should spend to prepare for it. After being aware of the importance of time management, I was able to balance my time with studying, hanging out with friends, and athletics. Due to this, when many students are stressed with their finals, I can relax and be confident.

I have gotten a relationship closer to God, from being at Oklahoma Christian University. I have became more aware of how to live and how to live a great life with God. Attending this college is valuable because you learn how to overcome sin, and surpass it and maintain who you are as an individual with a love for people and God. Friendship, leadership and God, is ehat you will get through this process of atending, it is worth attending.

Sarah

I have made friends at Oklahoma Christian, and I have learned a lot about my major. I have been to many schools in the past (3 colleges alone), and I have never made any friends I keep in touch with. After just one semester at Oklahoma Christian, I have made several friends that I could imagine staying in touch with for the rest of my life. Next, I am a Theater Performance major. At my previous schools, I felt that I learned some about acting and how Theater works, but I never had a lot of personal experience. In my first semester at OC, I learned how to do several behind-the-scene jobs in theater, which gave me a much greater understanding of my career choice. Oklahoma Christian University is the perfect college for me. I have never felt so at home in another school, and if I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing. This is where God put me, and it's where I want to be.

Stephanie

As of spring 2011 I will have my associates degree, which no one can ever take away from me. I always have it and want to persue more education because knowledge is invaluable. I learn something in every class I take, even if it doesn't seem to pertain to my major, which makes going to school worth every second. I would never miss a class, because you never know what you aren't going to learn that day.

Kinsey

I believe that my decision to attend Oklahoma Christian University was, and still is, a very good decision. I feel very blessed to be a part of OC, not only because I know I'm getting a great education, but also because I have the to oportunity to grow spiritually. I've developed many friendships with fellow students, and I've gotten to know many of my teachers, as well as some of the campus faculty and staff. Going to school at OC is very vaulable to me. I and the first person in my immeidate family to attend college, so I have many expectations to uphold, not only to my family, but to myself as well. I know OC is the place for me to be right now, and I'm looking forward to all of the things that being a student at OC has to offer while attending school and even after graduating.

Joshua

The most valuable thing I have gotten out of my college experience would be a better understanding of the diversity that fills our world. During the years that I have been enrolled in college I have met people from all walks of life and from all around the world. I have come to realize that gaining a better understanding of the different people and places in the world is just as important as the information in text books.

Hannah

I have learned many things out of my college experience. One thing I've learned is how to live on my own without my parents. It is weird to not have to tell them where I am every second of the day. I have more freedom than I did while living at home. I've also learned how to manage my finances. Before I could rely on my parents to give me money, but now I have to make my own, and make smart decisions about how to spend it. College has been valuable to me because I enjoy the fact that I am earning a degree that will help me to earn a well-paying job that I can support my future family with. To me, college is more beneficial than high school. I work harder now because I'm actually paying for school, and because this education is for me. I'm going to college to get a degree to support myself, not because the state requires me to attend.

Tiaresha

I believe that attending college has been a great value to my life. I am a nursing major and I hope to finish soon so I can begin my career.

Lindsey

Attending O.C. is most valuable to me because it completely aligns itself to my beliefs and moral foundation. My college experience thus far has been amazing and has totally lived up to my expectation of what my first year of college would be. I have enjoyed the higher learning college affords me and am seeing the importance of the hard work in my high school career. I brought some college credit with me via cross enrollment in high school and in retrospect, that was one of the smartest choices I made both financially and academically. It is put me ahead of my class as far as credits to graduate and was no cost. I tell high school friends they truly need to take advantage of this opportunity if they are able. My college experience is something I will never forget. The late nights, cramming, meeting new friends and being independent are all part of it and I love every minute of it.
