South University, Savannah Top Questions

I am currently attending a local community college to further my education. I decided to attend Dutchess County Community College before going away to school at Johnson and Wales University to pursue my career in Baking and Pastry and Food Service Management. While at the community college I am considered a Business Admin Transfer. This means I take classes such as micro and macroeconomics, sociology, algebra and statistics. This gives me a great advantage for when I go away to university because I will not need to have so much on my plate and can truly focus on the food industry. I will be able to study harder, focus more and excel as much as possible with taking fewer credits each semester. I have also been able to get a feel for college life with learning the different teaching styles of professors, and understanding how much work can be assigned all at once. This is valuable to me because now I have been able to better manage my time and focus to complete work well ahead of deadlines.

Back in high school, I barely made the 2.0 GPA to graduate. Soon after beginning college, I made the Dean's List for having higher than a 3.5 GPA. College allowed my creativity to flourish. I was free to have my individual thoughts unlike in high school where everything was done by the book and without room for individualism. I have grown tremendously in the 2 years after graduating and from being in college. Now, I need help to continue and finish my college education due to my financial well running dry. Help me so I can help others. I plan to get a degree in either Firefighting or Criminal Justice in order to help people in desperate need. If I had been asked 3 years ago what I planned to do with my life, I would have been unable to answer, but because of my college experience, I can say with certainty that I want to help people despite the risks.

So far I ahve gotten the exsperience of being in a college. I understand now the calsses and how much more responsibility there is and how I have come to enjoy it.

So pretty much what i have learned is responsibility and committment gets you further in life than just waiting around on things to be handed to you.

So far, out of my year and a half at Middle Georgia College, I have learned that I can do anything that I set my mind. Before attending, I though thought that college would be to hard for me and that I could not do it, but the teachers at this school are amazing they are willing to help in any way they can and the school has plenty of programs to get you the extra help that you might need.
