I never understood why my teachers always said that they learn more from us than what we learn from them, until I began tutoring math at the high school.

I have definitely had some wonderful college experiences. I have made a lot of friends, joined different clubs, and the parties are awesome. But the best thing that I have gotten out of my experience as a college student is independence and ambition. Although I have always been the independent type, there is nothing like being in an entirely different city on your own and as a teenager nonetheless. It is especially hard when your family's income is not sufficient to support your college career. Don't get me wrong my family is great and supportive in other ways but they are unable to help me financially. But I have learned that that is not an excuse for not succeeding. Above all things, this motivates me to stay in school so that I can create a better life for my children and my family's future generations. My college experience has taught me that I have no choice but to be ambitious because mediocre effort brings mediocre results and I refuse to settle for crumbs when I could own the bakery.

I have gotten new friends, work experience, and better ways to study while attending this college.
