Community Care College Top Questions

What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

If I could go back and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would explain to myself the decisions I need to make before going to college. I graduated almost six years ago and I am just now pursuing a degree that I am excited about. I started two other degree programs and quit and then completed a career diploma just because I felt that I needed to accomplish something. I did not know what I wanted to get my degree in. I wish someone would have told me to take some time and invest in figuring out what makes me tick. Over the past several years, I have taken multiple personality and career tests. I have slowly come to appreciate my personality and it wasn't until I fully explored the degree options available to me that I realized the perfect degree for me was very attainable. I immediately signed up for classes and have found that it is so much easier doing school now that I am motivated by the degree I am about to obtain. I'd ask myself, "What would you be proud doing?" Go for that!
