I could say debt and great friends but the truth is that I feel a great sense of accomplishment and ownership from the experiences that I went through and the work that I put in.

This accomplishment helped me relate alot of my course work in business studies to my current job with a fast growing company! Other than the personal gain and accomplishments I have endured, I have never taken college or my professors for granted. I have developed great friendships with many of my peers as well as leaders in particular industries around the community. I truly believe that the value of college is measured by what you put into it. A college degree does not get you a great job automatically.

I have gotten a so much from my first year being at college. One thing that I thought college was going to be was a piece of cake. No one told me it would be this difficult. The teachers expect a great deal from you, all the homework and reading involved and resident life. Being involved in my dorm has helped my college experience termendiously; we have study groups, wing activities, hall council, all of which have helped me meet some great people who are in the same boat as me. I was very home sick at first was in this state that I could not do this whole college thing anymore but with the help from friends on my floor, my RA, and parents, I have realized how great college is. If I had not come here I would not be reaching my goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. I will also be the first in my family to graduate from college and I feel that is a great achievement. I want to show everyone that I can do this.

I believe my college education has been custom tailored to the way I learn. I went to a technical school and I won't change anything I learned in my 2 years. I really enjoyed learning and still do. College education is the best way to go. I gained so much information even going to three different schools, but staying in one for 2 years was even better. I gained networking skills along with ability to learn how teachers teach and help students with difficult learning styles, such as myself. College education puts you ahead of the pack, other people see how much hard work you've put behind yourself. Employers are looking to see that you can communicate successfully in a work enviroment and I've gained that through my experience.

College has given me the opportunity to explore my strengths and weaknesses, and to step outside of the box in my learning. So many great things have come out of just being aware of what is going on around me on campus. I've been given the chance to do research with a great professor in the material science department, which is something that I had never pictured myself doing. College has been so great so far, and I can only see it getting better and better every year.

I have gotten so much out of my college experience i dont even know where to start. I am a very shy, quiet person naturaly and going to a new place with all new people really threw me out of my comfort zone. Going to my first class was hard because I was scared that it was going to be too much for me. My first chemistry class was when i realized this is right where is was supposed to be. The teacher made it so easy for class participation and just made a great learning environment; it was completely different then my high school experience. I have learned so much so far not just in class but in life. I have become a stronger more independent person and also totally cured myself of my shyness problem! I can't even imagine what my life would be like if i hadn't attended college and i dont want to!

Attending college has been a very valuable experience that has given me good friends, exposure to new ideas, and great learning opportunities. I have also had the chance to get involved in my college community through volunteer work, and tutoring ESL students. I have had wonderful professors and advisors who have helped me to persue my interests and passions. My college experience is preparing me for a bright, productive, and fulfilling future.

Perseverance . I had a sense of what perseverance was before college, but here that trait in me has become outwardly strong. I no longer question my goals or the point of what I'm accomplishing. I strive to be the best because I finally realize everyone else is doing the same. Other people push me at college in a way I didn't have in high school. In college, I understand what it means to push myself. This trait has not only helped in school, but in my personal life as well. My friend acquired a drug problem upon entering college. She grew distant, unhappy. Seeing this in her made me realize what I never wanted to become, and in turn showed me what to become. I needed focus. Without college, I wouldn't have the pressure I need to succeed.

I have learned much about myself, my passions, talents, and weaknesses. I have learned about the world beyond my self and gained a greater understanding of my place and purpose within it.
