As a college freshman at first it can be hard to adjust to the college lifestyle. Being the youngest out of eight siblings and the first to go to college it's kind of different. You feel like all eyes are on you and which they are. All my life I depended on my parents and my siblings. I practically did anything because everything was done for me. Living at college has taught me to fend for myself. The college experience is a experience that is like no other. Its fun and exciting. I am honored to say that is has been valuable to attend because I for once had grown up. College shapes you into the young men or woman you were meant to be in life.

Going from California to Alabama has been such big change for me because I'm so used to being in a big city, however attending Tuskegee University for my first year has given me a new view on life and I have been given a sense of accomplishment. Moving to such a small city as Tuskegee, I actually enjoy the slow down that I have been put through, it gives me time to relax and think about life which is hard when you usually fast-pacing through life. Also, when I came in I had received a work study job working in a research lab and I enjoyed making my own money for the first time, as well as having such a wonderful job that actually guided me to changing my major from Biology/Pre-Med to Clinical Laboratory Science, and pursuing my new career goal as a Biomedical Researcher. Just in my first year I have performed two experiments and presented one of them in a research competition. Just this feel of completion in what I've done and the confidence in what I want to do is what I have received from Tuskegee University.

What's up John'Tavius? I know you may feel as if you have the perfect college plan. "Get the girls, money, and stay fly. But with that plan, you are forgetting about the most essential part, grades. You are a smart kid. You have visited Tuskegee. Tuskegee is exactly as it seemed when you visited. The girls are beautiful; the experience is exciting. There will also be various distractions on campus as soon as you begin to matriculate, such as: drugs, alcohol, sexually transmitted diseases, and guns. Since you grew up in a bad neighborhood, none of these distractions should keep you from completing your college goal and earning good grades. Remember to not only strive to have a great G.P.A., but to learn as much as possible before you graduate from college in 2010. Drug dealers are not trustworthy. Do not do any drugs! You are a nice looking guy. The girls will come. Trust me, as soon as you arive on campus, the ladies will be there to greet you, personally. Failure is not an obtion. Everything seems better when you have good grades. Tell mama, daddy and Amber I said, "I told you so!"

Now that I have experienced two years of college life, I have learned the importance of being very selective of friends and associates. If I could go back to my senior year in high school, I would definitely instruct myself on the linguistics (or art) of meeting new people. Ultimately, it is your circle of friends that greatly contributes to your success or failure at the college level. My recent discovery of this truth has compelled me to be more inquisitive about the morals and values of the people that I meet. When I entered college as a freshman, I assumed that friendship followed the same guidelines as high school friendships, but I was wrong. The apparent freedom and independence of college life have alloted some students the priviledge of moving beyond the boundary of what is safe and sound. When I identify these type of students, I make great efforts to distant myself from them.

I would tell myself to be more orgnized. It was hard for me to make the transition because in high school I was stuck in classes all day. Now that I'm in college i get a lot of free time between classes. Utilizing the free time is very important and can reflect in my grades and performance.
