“Make the best decision", are the words that I would tell myself as a second year undergraduate student attending Florida State College at Jacksonville. As a senior, I was ready to jump into the college scene and completely leave behind the melodrama world of high school, but as I finally walked across the stage and suddenly into a college classroom I realized that I could have made better decisions which would have ultimately benefitted me in the end. I would have made better decisions to study more, to become more involved within my community and prepared more for college mentally as well as financially. I spent the majority of my time attempting to find scholarships from the schools which made me lack in the search of scholarships from outside sources. The transition to college was once bumpy but now it is smoothing out to be a paved road. The final words that i would tell my senior self, would be “Continue to strive, and realize that in the end your hard work will pay off."

My college experience so far, has been stressful. Being unemployed has made my college experience difficult to enjoy. I tried to enjoy it by attending the leadership retreats the school’s SGA had to offer. I had an identity crisis; it wasn’t until I started college and began asking myself what I wanted that I realized this. Finding myself has been the most valuable thing I have received from college. Even though I had to lose my car and move back in with my parent, failing several classes my first year of college. These mistakes are the most valuable thing to me that I have gained though my college experience, they help define me. I learn from my mistakes and I get by in life no matter what happens. I always find a way, even though my credit card is full of debts from all my school books. I keep pushing forward. So I can obtain a PhD in psychology & sociology. For now I’m focused on finishing my B.S. in social work so that I can get a job, and applying to all financial opportunities. Life is stressful, but that is life otherwise it would be boring.

Can it truly be argued that education is not the key to livelihood? From the classical philosophy of Socrates to the Existentialism of Sartre, tackling the unknown in order to acquire knowledge has been core to the human existence. So it comes as no surprise to myself that college has been a time of personal enhancement that I could never have possibly predicted or grasped before my attendance. Since I began attending college I have learned numerous topics, ideas, and theories that have come to shape me as a totally new person, rich in identity and skill. Higher education has already provided me with priceless information and abilities that apply directly to the ever evolving global culture all around me. Personally, I have absorbed skills that would have otherwise been unattainable. Projects such as planning tangible routes of action for a sustainable, environmentally-friendly campus have shed light on multiple areas of leadership and positive activism in local and national communities. College has also, of course, provided me with an enriched understanding of complex topics in Mathematics and English, as well as other foundational courses essential to the thriving, productive individual in American society.
