Prairie View A & M University Top Questions

I've recieved the feeling that I was finally doing something right with my life. College has given me the experience of learning in a mature enviroment and the expereince to interact with different ages and learn things not only in the classroom. College for me is more than a school, it's my second home.

Going into my second year of college, I have gotten a better understanding of college life. I've learned that anyone can be successful if they put their minds to their goals there's not an obstacle that can get in there way and stop them. Because when you are determined to do good and motive to do your best besides all odds you go for it. I feel that it has been very valuable for me attending Prairie View because I now get a sense of how important my education really is. And also that if my mind isn?t in the right mind set to go into the field that I want to go in then I shouldn?t go into that field because why go into something that you wouldn?t enjoy in the future.

A college experience is not only detrimental to your goals, but also to how you will live your life. I believe that college will prepare you for the future and for what is to become of your future. College has helped me become a successful person within all of my endeavors, as well as in making me strive to keep going further. Being a late starter for college, has been a little discouraging, but rewarding as well. I have experienced some of the most wonderful professors that not only want to help you in class, but are interested in helping you succeed out of college. They help train you for your career choice. College is the most rewarding thing you can do in your life, to make your goals, and dreams come true. For me college is hard, easy, long, short, stressful, rewarding and everything in between. College is going to make me become a successful dentist and allow for me to help the lower class, get affordable, reliable dentistry. I will become a dentist that is not focused on money, but on the patient and the outcome of my patients. College will be my stepping stones.

My college experience here at Prairie View A&M University has given me a broad outlook on things I wouldn't have normally seen. It has helped me to be a critical thinker and a problem solver. I have also been able to build many netwroking connections as well as lifetime friendships. These connections and friendships have helped me to overcome many adversities as well as inner-conflict. Prairie View naturally instills a strong sense of pride for our culture in the present, as well as our heritage we've come from. In the words of our Alma Mater, "we'll love thee now, and through eternity." I am PROUD to be a Prairie View Man.

Listen to my teachers? warnings about college and read, I would advise myself to read every day and all kinds of books and to even read my boring high school textbooks. When I got to college, I found out that my teachers were right when they told me, "When you?re in college the professors expect you to read the textbook from the front cover to the back cover before class!" Finally, I will advise myself to sit in the front of class and to make a connection with my professors, so they can?t mix up my grade with another student.

When get ready to start collage you should study Monday ? Friday and party on weekends and you do not have to do drugs to be cool or drink. If you do that you will not last at all and will not graduated on time and have bad GPA. GPA is very important in collage. You will mist important opportunities, like jobs and scholarships.

Considering what I know now about college and the crucial circumstances there are to pay for tuition, I would have advised myself to apply for more scholarships and grants. I would have also advised myself to work harder and take high school more serious. Affording tuition in today?s economic crisis seems somewhat impossible to people who are not blessed with the virtue of money. So I would have definitely advised not only myself, but also my fellow peers to have a fantastic GPA when graduating from high school then maybe it would be a lot easier for you and myself to attend college. And again I would have advised myself that there is free money out there to pay for college, you just have to search and work hard for it.

If i could go back in time i would tell myself to stay focus and be prepared for college because that when you step in the real world. I would also tell myself to keep my head uo beccause i will always have the knowledge and strength of my father to do my best because he always wanted the best for me . I will tell myself to stay focus because i want to be the first to graduate out my family and i want to be sucessful one day.

If I could go back in time to give myself advice, I would start by saying "Don't limit yourself". In high school, I believed that some things where suppose to happen in certain ways and that there were limits on my education. Granted, GPA and SAT scores can limit you but you would NOT want to go to school based ONLY on athletics. I would tell myself to strive for more and be more than you think you can be. Don't just say "I think I can" but instead say "I know I can". Believe in yourself. Don't just think because others want you to go to school that that's everything because it's not. If you don't take the opprotunity now while it's hot and fresh, you may get lost in the shuffle and get left behind like most students. If you remembver nothing else, remember this: Only YOU can make it happen for YOU. No one else will fill out paper work, mom & dad won't always be there, and you can't recieve or benefit from anything without working HARD for it. Appreciation comes from hardwork and dedication.

Be prepared to work hard, network, use every opportunites and don't be afraid to ask for help. Finish all school paperwork at least 6 months in advance. Be on time always.
