The most valuable experience I have received from my college experience is how to become an independent individual.

In addition, college has given me the opportunity to try new things and get invloved in the community through volunteering, working and joining social groups. Overall, college has allowed me to break out of my comfort zone and to become a functioning adult in society.

Going to college and living on my own has taught me to be independent. Also, the campus is extremely diverse as well as the classes offered on campus. Everyone is open-minded and excepting of others. I have learned to take things as they are and to appreciate other people's points of view regardless of whether I agree or disagree with them. With having such a diverse group and being on my own, I have to break away from my comfort zone. I have had to learn to approach others for help, advice, or even just friendship instead of waiting for them to approach me.

I have not attended college up until this point. I obtained my GED from London ABLE June 4, 2010, I am now enrolled in Columbus state community College. I start taking classes march 28, 2011, I decided that if you are going to do something do it right, so I am enrolled in Columbus State Community College for Paralegal and Entrepreneurship a double major. I don?t really want to complete one major without the other. My schooling total cost is 23,000 for the two years; I have applied for financial aid and am waiting for the results. I want to further my education in the future but for now I am working towards an associate?s degree. I want to work as a paralegal and eventually get a law degree to be a lawyer, I also want to open businesses and monopolize for a better and brighter future for me and my son. The way I think about things is if us young adults do not further our education then there is not going to be anyone to run our country when the elders pass. I want to stand up and make a difference in our world.

In my college experience I have gained valuable real world work experience. Throughout my program, I have had the chance to work with real companies and on real projects that will make actuall impact on cities. I also had numerous opportunities to work in groups, giving me a huge taste of what work life will be like after college. I really feel that my school program has given me the necessary experience and knowledge to be competitive in the real world. Aside from the program, my department has also arragned to have lectures given to help those who want to find and keep jobs and internships. I really appreciate all that my school has done for me.

The college experience has made me a more confident and intelligent person. It was a challenge to decide what was the right college and finding financial aid but the proccess makes everyone realize how the real world works. You are responsible for your own actions and dedication. Attending the University of Utah has been a valuable experience because I have met incredible people that help eachther succeed.

I have not officially began college, but I have audiitoned for the program that I am attending (Musical Theatre Performance BFA) and I truly love and enjoy the environment at the University of Utah. The professors treat you like an adult, and like a peer more than a study. I think that education is the most valuable thing in one's life, I was raised with the belief that the people with the highest education were the most respected. College is challenging and stressful, but it is a steping stone to achieving my dreams, and it is worth every second and dime. I have learned about acceptance and not to stereotype, because people come in all shapes and sizes and talent is endless.

There are many things that attending a college gives a person. A college degree will open doors, allowing for one to reach heights and claim opportunities that would otherwise be out of the question. A college degree can give a person their preferred career, granting not only stability and a better lifestyle, but also a fulfillment that comes with achieving everything that he/she has set out to do with his/her life. The acquisition of a college education has the potential to turn a young adult, floundering and aimlessly drifting, into a responsible, focused individual who is prepared to face the world and achieve great heights, like a right of passage that transforms a person into the most powerful being they can become. These are the reasons that I went to college, but in my time here, I have found all of that and more. I have found that what I achieve, no matter how great or how impressive, means absolutely nothing if I don't enjoy myself. I need to feel passion about what I do and who I become. I got the three most valuable things out of my college experience: passion, power and perspective.
