I can honestly say I love my school. It’s the perfect fit for me. The class size, my peers, and faculty are all reasons why I love Wheelock. I’ve learned so much from the Wheelock community, both inside and outside the classroom. I like being surrounded by people that have the same passions and values that I do. People come to Wheelock because they want to help others. I came to this school because I wanted to aid people who needed a helping hand. I knew that Wheelock could help me do that to the best of my ability. What I didn’t know was that I would find so many people who felt the same as I did. The Wheelock Community has embraced and taught me so much. It is by far my favorite part of the College. I have made many lifelong friends and will be sad to leave Wheelock when the time comes. Yet I will take everything I’ve learned here and look forward to my future.

I have gotten confidence and happiness from my college experience. I have always been told that I am an intelligent person and can do whatever I put my mind to, but Wheelock has really affirmed that belief for me. The people that I attend this school with are some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life. I have gained 3 best best friends from this experience and I can honestly say zero enemies. Everytime I complain or wonder why I chose to go to school I just think about the mission and know that it's all worth it. The ambition to improve the lives of children and families is what brought me to Wheelock and it is what makes me stay each and every day.

Save your money & get as much education as you can. You'll have more oppotunity's for a career instead of just another job. Be more cautious about your spending habits.

Challenge yourself more. The only rock in the road is yourself. There are people who want to see you fail, but there is a larger population of people who want to help you and see you succeed.

I would advise myself not to be fearful of my new endeavors and that great knowledge and friendships would lie ahead. I would tell myself to step outside of my comfort zone and go forth with passion. I would tell myself not to view mistakes and hardships of the past as weaknesses and regrets, but as learning experiences. Without struggles you cannot achieve true success. I would say ? Sade, this is only the beginning and life itself is your greatest opportunity.?

Particpant in more school activities. Be yourself more cause if you love yourself it doesn't matter what other people think. Play like you know how. Why be afraid? Stop crawling in life. Sharrell you have to jump sometimes.

I had a unique situation in college. I did not apply for any colleges in the Boston area, but my fiance got into Emerson college. I chose to follow her to Boston so she did not have to go to Hofstra, where we were both accepted. Without even being acepted to any schools I moved there, and went to Bunker Hill Community College for a semester while applying for schools. This was a huge hassel, and wasted some time and money. If I was to know how my college situation had turned out as a high school senior, I would have made it a point to apply for schools in Boston only. This would have been a much easier transition, because my apartment is far from Wheelock College where I am attending starting January 20, 2010, and I would know to claim myself on my taxes much sooner, so that the FAFSA would show how much money I really do not have. It is a real struggle to pay for my apartment and now for a school that is much too expensive for me. If I had known all of this earlier my transition would have been much easier.

As a high school senior, I had very low self confidence. When applying to schools, my biggest fear was being accepted as the person i was. As a gay woman I had faced an extreme amount of predjudice at my high school and was afriad that college would be the same experience. Looking back today, I would have told myself that there are people in this world who will not accept you an understand who you are, but that's okay. I believe this peice of advice would have allowed me, as a terrified college freshman, to start that school being who I was, instead of hiding in my shell for months. I believe it is extrememly important for any person to know that who they are as a person won't be judged by their peers. I took this to the extreme. I wish I had been able to tell myself that this school would wrap its arms around me and allow me to be who I was and would help me to become an upstanding adult. I thank this school for helping me become who I am today
