I came to Saint Louis University so I can explore my interest in the medical field. When I got there , I realized that being a doctor was not something I truley wanted to do. I took apart all of the qualities that I wanted in a career instead of focusing on the title M.D. My future career is now a High School Math Teacher and after that a Superintendent of a school district. This discovery was not easy and it required a lot of help from my advisor, professors, students, and friends. I felt comfortable enough to let them know that I have faults and need guidence and support. SLU was able to provide me with that. I have learned so much in this past semester that I would not have learned at a different school. I feel like I am at home and I do not see myself going to any other school.

I have been a student at Saint Louis University for a semester and I love it! My school provides me with the exact major that I am interested in, which is Nutrition and Dietetics and Culinary Arts. The courses are good and challenging. The school provides free tutoring for those who may need help in certain courses. The professors also are pretty practical with their lectures and provide ample information for note-taking. When comes to having a social life, SLU makes that easy. There are always activities going on on campus. The university also provides many opportunities for students to volunteer in the community with organizations such as campus kitchens and Big Brother, Big Sister Association. Attending Saint Louis University has valued me a lot because it has shown me what a true college experience is like, as well as what a Jesuit education consists of. Overall, Saint Louis has a beautiful campus and offers a great education and brings an exceptional college experience to all who attend.

The thing that I have gotton out of my college experience is that I am a lot more disciplined than I ever thought I was. In my high school and breif college experience when i was younger, I was a below average student. Now that I am an older student, I have dicovered that I am a lot more disciplined than I ever thought i was (and a lot better student with a 3.5 GPA). So my recent college experience has shown me that I can achieve my goals If work hard at it.

I have learned to re-adapt to school life and to apply myself for my future. I believe its been valuable to attend because this is my future and my family's future. I want to better myself and to be able to help provide better for my family.

I have learned many things, not only academically but also about the people of this world. I have learned to do things for the greater good of others and to work towards improving the world to be a better place.

I have gotten from my college experience a greater sense of who I am and what I can accomplish. Though I have not had the best of experiences here, I know now that I can deal with being in an enviornment that I do not like or that is difficult for me.

As a non-traditional college student, I feel as though I have gotten a different benefit from the college experience than most. I balance a full time professional career working with people twice my age who already received their bachelor degrees years ago, while trying to pursue my first bachelor’s degree. While other college students may look at college as their first time experiencing the real world workload, I feel as though I can say that if I manage to succeed at the endeavors I’m taking on right now, I’ll succeed at anything. In college orientation classes, the student leaders always tell you how college will teach you time management, organization, prioritization, and other necessary skills. For me, college has taught me so much more like that you can’t help other until you help yourself, you have a right to stand up for yourself against anyone, and that you’re allowed to dream really big. The college experience so far, combined with balancing my career, has been invaluable to me in that it’s taught me lessons I feel that I wouldn’t have learned until much later in life, and for that I’m grateful.

SLU is really good about helping you find what you really want to do. I came in thinking that I wanted to do Business, with my passion for art as a hobby, but they showed me that it's ok, and preferable to do what you love.

I have only attended college for about a year, and I absolutely cannot wait to finish my education. College not only taught me alot about who I was and what I wanted from life, but it has also taught me to believe in myself and my abilites to succeed and help others. do the same Due to personal and financial reasons I had to take a break from college, and I cannot wait to go back. I feel as though I am ready for so much more of what the world has to offer when I am taking classes. I put my all into my college work and I plan to do the same when I am licensed to teach. College has taught me to look at people for what they are able to accomplish, not what they can't. Nobody is perfect, there are no two of us alike, but we have so much to offer to one another. WIth a teaching degree I can open up doors for others that have no idea there are opportunities out there for them. I can help them feel the same way college helps me feel, stronger, prouder, ready for life!
