The University of Texas at San Antonio Top Questions

I have developed skills to actually learn and not just get through my classes

I am the first in my family to every attend a university and the experience will be great.

I've learned many things in college but the most important lesson I've gained is definaly how to relay on yourself and that sooner or later it just be you and no one else in the real world. Which to me is the saddest lesson also.

So far, my college experince has been very enjoyful. I have learned how to broaden my horizon and how to learn how to not fear being in front of other people and giving a speech. I have been in my vocational school for a month now and so far, I feel as though I've learned a lot more here then I had in all my thirteen years of grade school. I feel that it is very valuable for me to be attending this vocational school because I want better for myself and a great paying CAREER. A career is way more important than a job. With me attending this school, I know that I will be able to better my life and take that one step further I need to give my children the life I always wanted and never had.

I have gotten a better grip of responsibility and what it takes to become a young man. Living on my own and being my own man takes a lot more than what people think. You must be able to realize what is right and wrong and by doing certain actions how they might affect you as a person for the rest of your life. Also being able to be responsible for showing up to your classes, studying a substantial amount for each course, and manage your personal life in the right, responsible manner. It has made me into the person which I have become today and I would not change that whatsoever.

What I have gotten from my college experience is I have become a lot more social with people at school; I've also learned so much from the diversity this school has. This has been extremely valuable to me because, I have come out of my shell and seen what I have ahead of me in the next few years.

Although education is a major part of going to college, gaining experience and responsibility is just as important. Throughout the college experience, I have been forced to mature into an adult, and handle all situations on my own. As bad as it may sound, struggling has taught me a lot about myself as a person. I have learned how to utilize my organization, and time management skills. I have been able to determine my strengths and weaknesses as a person and use them to my own benefit. I think about life without college, and I wonder how long it would have taken me to learn how to survive on my own. I wonder if I would have been forced to show my strength in my weakest situations. It has been a valuable life lesson to attend college, for I have been allotted a good amount of time to find myself, while building my knowledge.

I have not yet started my college experience. I am excited and looking foward to starting it because of all the opportunitys. I have a choice between two colleges and i am going to make a decision soon. When i do, i will be on my way.

I have learned a lot about myself during my college experience. I have learned the value of hard work and perseverance. I have also learned the importance of not procrastinating. I have discovered what I want to do in life through taking various classes. My classes and coursework have taught my a lot about my own personal interests. College has also helped me to grow and mature. Through my two years in college so far, I have matured from when I started right after high school. College has forced me to grow up and become more responsible. College has been extremely valuable to me. Without attending, I would not have been able to figure out what direction I want to go in life. I believe that attending college builds a strong foundation for the future.
