From my college experience, I've gotten knowledge about myself and a world as a whole. Like our textbooks, some things may change about us, but we will always have the fundamentals which make us human. It's been valuable to attend college not only for the knowledge of how to be a human service work, but also how to be a person. We never stop learning, and being in college, I discovered how to get the most out of what I learn.

My college experience is eye-opening. It has made me see many things that I, otherwise, would have not seen. College is just another step in my life, and it should be a rather enjoyable one.

I have learned what I wanted to do with my life, what I care about, and who I want to become. I don't think most people figure that out so soon and I consider myself very lucky.

I have gotten a lot of expierence from my visit to my college's campus. I saw myself as a grown up and can be responsible for the things I do. I learned that I had to be friendly and more open with people. In other words to socialize with people and make a new firends. I really liked to make friends with people whom are from a different countries, because I will more knowledgeable about other countries and cultures.

I have received much from my college education at University of Nebraska at Omaha. With the help of UNO I have been able to attend several courses and lectures from notable business men and women. Beyond the academic aspects, the University of Nebraska at Omaha has helped me experience many new cultures. Through the university I have made friends from around the world, broadening my horizons beyond the limits of my country. Attending UNO and experiencing the diversity the university has to offer helped me decide on my major of International Business. Before deciding on my major I was able to speak with several different advisors from the different departments, each advisor helping me with my decision. The teachers and consultants at UNO have also been invaluable, as they have helped support me in my class work and finding scholarships to study abroad. Several of my teachers have taken a personal interest in my future, writing numerous recommendations for my scholarships and grants. These experiences at UNO have made my college education exceptional.

My first semester at the University of Nebraska at Omaha I have learned a lot. I went into this whole college thing being afraid that I wouldn't succeed. However, with the correct time management and drive I proved my self wrong. While in college I had a rude awaken that I was paying to attend school so I should work hard for my grades.
I took every opportunity I could get to better my grade. I spent a lot of my down time in the library studying and completing homework. When it came to my classes I liked to get there an hour earlier and re-read my work. Also , when I had a major paper due I had people read over it multiple times.
I think my first semester was valuable because know what to expect if I transfer. Now in second semester I am still using my same methods. My classes this semester are tougher, but the class sizes are smaller. So you have more face to face time with the professors. So I am hoping that this semester will be the same as the last. I am just going to have to work harder for it.

The biggest thing I got out of college was education. All of the professors I have had so far are very inteligent and helpful. They want you to succeed and they will help you, but they expect you to put in a lot of hard work too. I know that with this education I will be sucessfull in my future with my career and my family. I have also gotten long lasting friendships. I joined a sorority and I have made some of the most fun and trustworthy friends I have ever had. Also out of my college experience I have learned a lot about time management. In high school I did not have to study at all, but once I got here I learned that was going to quickly change! I learned to tackle going to class, studying, doing homework, being actively involved in a sorority, and also playing intermurals. That will help me also in my future when I have deadlines to meet for certain things. College is a very good investment for your future.

My college experience had made me seen part of the real life and the real world. Also have helped me improve as a student and as a person. In college one has to be punctual and be respectful with everyone. Because this experience your going to use it in jobs or with other people that you spend your life with.
It has been valuable to attend college becasue you learn new subjects everyday. Getting the knowledge that when your out of college you will have to do and live your own life. And thats when you take your own decissions, wheather they are wrong or good, which is up to you. Your going to be the only responsible for your mistakes.

When I was in high school I was told that college is not a joke and Its nothing like high school. I just laughed and walked away thinking to myself everyone is crazy. Getting through the four years of high school years i was just passing and made it to graduation I was lucky. Now that I am a freshman in college im kicking myself in the butt and wished I tried harder in high school! Getting to the end of freshman year I realized that I needed to listen to the people that want to see me succeed. I did. Now next year im going to University at buffalo to spealizes in medicine. The pass year i have been working hard to reach for my goals in life. I believe I should recieved this scholarship because I'm going to work hard and devote all my time to reach what I know I can achieve.
