I am returning to college after 17 years. I am learning so much and with the experience of returning to college I am increasing my knowledge as well as my GPA. I decided to return to college after loosing my father. I wanted more than anything to make him proud of me and I wanted to show myself that I could accomplish what I started. I will complete my bachelors as well as my Master's program.

I am planning on attending a college to furthur my knowledge about Veterinary Technicians. I have alwasy been pationate about animals and their well being. It is impossible to save everyone and everything but if there is an oppurtunity for me to make a difference in the world, small or big, i want to take the steps to do so. Being pationate about animals can and will support me in a big way to acheive my goal to be a Veterinary Assistant/ Technician. I appreciate your time and any support that I am able to recieve from this organization.

My first year in college taught me alot about life. Most people think you just go to college to learn, get a degree, and then graduate. It is however, one the craziest and best thing most people go threw in their entire lives. I came to my school hoping to start the rest of my life. My classes exposed me to many different types of people that I have never been exposed to. My classes where taught with passion from teachers also, which made me want to get that one day. In all my experiance has made realize how important college is to me, and how I need to put every ounce of my engery to complete it. I want to be able to one day graduate and be passionate in my carrer and feel secure I have learned all the of the things I need to know to be succesful.

I have learned more than educational skills at The University of Alabama. I have gained social skills, better habits, and better work ethics. I feel that The University is a good school to attend for that.

I began attending college, because I was tired of complaining that I was not happy with where I was at that stage of my life and so, I decided to do something about it. Before I began, I knew a few colleagues who were attending college, and I thought that it should be pretty easy. But I was in for a wake up call, as it was not as easy as it seemed, actually ? far from it. Being a single mother, working full-time as well as being a full-time student was not the ?bed of roses? I imagined. However, attending college has made me stronger, more determined, and a lot more appreciative than I was. As a college student, I have learned to prioritize like never before, and that has become invaluable in my everyday life. Attending college has also made me appreciate every opportunity that comes my way, whether it is a free day to spend with my son, or half an hour just for myself. I am thankful for the opportunity, and regardless of the many hours spent completing assignments with little to no sleep, I am still determined to succeed.

My college experience has been great! I have learned so many things in my classes. Also, I have made the best friends anyone could ever ask for! I am in a sorority and absolutely love it! My college experience at the University of Alabama will help me to succeed in my career as a health administrator in the future. With the knowledge I have obtained from college I plan on eventually openeing up my own hospital. I don't believe I would be able to be as successful as I plan on being if I didn't attend the University of Alabama. This university has literally made my dreams, my reality.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience so far, and it is only my first year!! I love the University of Alabama. I am a member of the Cross Country and Track teams here at UA. Being a part of these athletic teams has really helped me meet a lot of really awesome people. Even though it can be challenging being a student-athlete, all of the great athletic staff are really there to help. All of my professors have been really helpful, helping find the right path for me and helping me succeed in all aspects of my college life. I have met so many different people. It has really helped me come out of my shell and find out who I really am. Being surrounded by so many different cultures has really opened my mind up to all the different things out there in the world. Seeing so many successful people at UA has inspired me to do something really special and creative with the rest of my time at the capstone. I am so excited about my next 3 years...and then the rest of my life!!!
