Prairie View A & M University Top Questions

I learned not to except no for an answer. I value this lesson because now i can never be stopped!

My college experience has taught me dedication to something I beleive in. College has allowed me to grow emotionally, and experience the career field that I wish to enter first hand. The small size of a community college helps me to still feel supported by the professors and other students, but also allows me the experience and professionalizm that I need. In the past year I, at 21 years of age, have come very close to my degree in college, purchased my own home, and been able to depend on my college to train me in a field that I believe is very important to the future of people. Teaching is something that only some people ever get the privlege of doing. One day I hope that I am able to complete my degree and have the ability to make a difference in the lives of young children.

Throughout college I have learned that some people go to school for social purposes and others come to get educated and graduate. I have found the numberof students who come to college to graduate is low, compared to the ones who come for social purposes. My entire experience has not been what I have expected it to be. I wanted all of my teachers to push me to my limits and give me all of the resources to become successful but most did not. Many of my teachers came to school to get a pay check. I have heard them say many times that they do not have to be here, because either way they are still going to get paid, Hearing them say that struck a blow to my chest. However, college has been most valuable to attend because I am a first generation student and I have to bring a diploma to my parents to show them that I did it.

My college experience has taught me to work twice as hard as I use to work to get the better grade and not to be afraid to step out of my comfort zone. These two examples may seem small but to someone who is ok with a Bs and Cs and is only comfotable around only close friends, it is not an over night change. College has begun to prepare me to strive for the best and has helped me to reach out to others instead of retreat to my old friendships. I will continue to evole and better my self be cause of my college for the rest of my life.

Since being in college, I have been able to provide a better life for my young son. With my degree I can honestly say that I have job security which is very important to me with today's failing economy. I have also set the bar pretty high for my other family members. I’ve even inspired my mother to enroll in college to obtain her degree. I believe that this is the biggest reward next to my degrees. Being able to be there for my mom while she pursue her degree is a complete blessing. I at least try to encourage one person a day to enroll in college even if they don’t feel that college is for them.

i have gotten a knowlage on how hard life after high school is so the advicw that i would givee my self is keep deadacated.

My college experience has caused me to realize that I am capable of understanding concepts that are used in everday life. I have become more of a social person and am therefore more comfortable with myself. I can now act more like myself in situations and I am no longer the shy girl I was when I was a freshman walking into my first class. I realized that the more confident I act, the more confident I really am. In college, I have been learning real life lessons. Teachers have told me to use my common sense. If I dont have money, don't spend it and don't get myself into debt. They have told me that I need to be concerned about my future now because before I know it, I will be the adult who is paying excessively high taxes. Attending college has not only allowed me to focus on what I enjoy, but also become a more independent person.

I have gotten out of my college experience is patience and the ability to just have fun and take time to enjoy the simple things in life.

I have grown so much during my school experience, I have left the nest and learned to fly on my own. I have taken responsility of my future and I am soaring here at school!! I am getting a life time of lessons that will stay with me forever. Here at school I have learned to be a part of the flock and at times lead the "V" formation. I am truly a a believer that even ordinary backyard birds do extraordinary things, this is one thing that will help me succeed in life. I am one of those birds that have beautifully adapted to their lives, and know exactly what they need toget where they are going. I am very dedicated to my studies here at Prairie View and also to the school itself. I bleed purple and gold.

I recieved so much knowledge just by attending college. I wasn't planning on going after I graduated from high school, but my mother insisted that I give the "college life" a try. So my intentions on going were only to make her happy. As a freshman, I stayed on-campus. I learned how to live with strangers, and how to get myself up to attend class on time (without my mom being my personal human alarm clock). I also learned how to juggle study group sessions with a part-time job as a waitress. In the middle of my sophmore year, I moved off campus which was another huge responsibility. I now had to pay rent, light & gas bills, and keep groceries in the fridge. I can honestly say that my experience of the "college life" on and off campus helped me be the person that I am today. I'm a responsible, reliable, motivational, and an independent woman because of Praire View A&M University. Thanks guys!
