Texas A & M University-College Station Top Questions

The most important thing about picking a college is choosing one where you will fit in. If the school has students that are like you and come from similar backgrounds it is alot eaiser to make friends and enjoy your college life. Also, it is important to get involved in extra curricular activities while in school, but don't get so involved that you don't have time for your school work or for spending with friends and family.

I would focus on telling myself how important it is to have discipline when it comes to school work. In highschool they tell you that you should give a certain amount of hours studying to your classes depending on the hour length of the class. I used to laugh when they would say that, because the amount of time they suggested seemed crazy. I learned quickly freshman year that they were right. After a semester of struggling with procrastination; it all finally sunk in and I have stayed on top of my school work ever since. There are a lot of other lessons that I have learned in college, but I dont feel like any of them have been something I wish i could go back in time and tell to myself. I believe these lessons have been apart of life, and to be able to go back and warn myself would make me miss out on a lot of life. All of these lessons are what come with college, and what has helped me grow into the woman I have become.

As I am entering my first semester of college in the fall, I look forward to the new transition in my life. However, I have often thought about what I could have done differently this past year. I'm learning quickly that life can push you into the fast line without mercy, forcing you to get a job, worry about housing, food, a car. This leaves you almost no time for amusement. Looking back, that's what I think my senior year of high school was all about; my last real chance to be a kid, have fun and not worry about tomorrow. Money, school and a job will all come soon enough, but you won't ever get that time with your friends and family back. If I could, I would advise myself, then and anyone else now, to relax and enjoy what they have. Don't worry about the future until you have to.

I would tell myself to prepare for the different professors that will be instructing you because not all of them are fluent in english or have a strong ascent. In additon I would also give myself a heads up on how to better right my papers in such a way to make them flow fluently by using transition words as I learned through the course of my freshman year in college. In conclusion I think I was pretty well prepared for college and the transitioning wasn't too bad considering I was looking forward to college and held an open mind to the new oppurtunities and goals set before me.

My advice to myself can be a multitude of things. But the one thing that I must tell my high school self is to not punish myself for not being the best or as smart as my peers. I must work hard and continue to work hard to get through the first year and the rest of college. I would tell myself to have fun once in a while but not over do it; a mistake done by most incoming/ first year students. College will be challenging, difficult at times but if I were to work hard and persude my goals I can reach them. I will tell myself not to expect an A in every class and to be satisfied with even a C because just making it into college is already honorable. Not to give up, but knowing who I am and was, I never did. I will tell myself to just be prepared for the worst as always, as usual.

I would definitely tell myself to develop study habits which ensured that all of the material is covered in a timely manner. Secondly, I would inform myself of the multiple departments on campus filled with people willing to help with anything that I may be struggling with. I believe that if my high school self would understand these two things then I would be on a path that led to nothing but success.

Increase the amount of time you study outside of class. You may be able to get by or even do well in high school courses by only listening in class. Once you reach college, however, success requires hours of studying outside the classroom. If you have a text book in any of your classes, read the material you will be covering in class ahead of time. You will be amazed at how much better you can retain what your teacher says in class when you have established a base of knowledge on the subject. Start making a habit of talking with your teacher after class about the material covered. As you take notes, write down questions you may have about what is being taught. Even if you think you understand it, try to come up with a question. In college, you will often be in classes with 300 people. Professors' personalities vary, but many are willing to work with you on your grade. The only way for them to know you are interested in improving, however, is if they know who you are. Introduce yourself, ask questions, let professors put a face to your name.

if i could go back and talk to myself i would tell my self to start applying for any and all scholarships i may qualify for and to decide what it is im going to study as a career i would tell my self to think twice before i do anything because the consequences of my actions then will determine the outcome of my life dealing with finding a job getting into school and being a father at age 19 if i could go back in time i would bag my self to make an effort to better my self in any way possible so i can have the life ive always dreamed of.

Study more, relax and ejoy the last few days you have with your friends back home because the new ones you are going to make will suprise you, and apply for more scholarships. Most importantly find a balance between school and fun, you only get this oppurtunity once so make the best of it even on a bad day.

My first and most important piece of advise would be to learn how to study. With high school you have a lot of busy work that you learn from but in college you are on your own. Although there is plenty of help if you need it but it is a huge shock when your whole grade goes from busy work to just a couple exams. Review your notes is something extremely simple that can be done to help you. And keep up with the work. If you are assigned reading, dont slack on it. Make sure you are on top of things because there are a hundred other kids that would kill to be in your position and teachers dont care much for slackers.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, there would be many things I would tell her. First, I would tell her not to listen to people who bring her down or discourage her. That she should listen to people who inspire and suppport her. If not, she can use discouragement to build more character. Second, I would tell her not be reckless with money and to spent it wisely. She should develop a budget she can use monthly that would allow her to be more financially responsible. I believe that being more financially responsible can help a person succeed better in other areas in life. I can tell her that financially responsibility is a step towards total responsibility. Third, I would tell her that finding romance should not be the top of her priorities. Her education is more important. It can establish her to be the beautiful, independent young lady I know her to be. Fourth, I would remind her to stay driven. If she has an ambition or dream, she should go for it and not give up. Nothing is impossible when she has her mind on it.

Never procrastinate, because in college the sooner you get something done the more free time you will have. As well as never stay quiet when you dont know something, if you dont understand ask for help, or even get a tutor. Because going into my first semester i felt alone and needed to fend for myself, when in reality help is all around you, you just need to ask. But once my second semester hit, i was in control of things and had a game plan i went by everyday to make sure i would succeed. As well as take advantage of sleep, to whenever you have a free time and nothing to do, take a nap, its a lot better than going to sleep in class and waking up confused by your profesor's work.

Knowing what I know now, if I could go back and speak to myself as a high school student there is so much I would advise myself on. One of the things is how to approach my first year in college. My first year of college was an exciting experience but one that I felt I might have wasted a bit. While I focused so much on my academic school work, I didn't fully engage in the many opportunities open to students on campus. Having not gotten involved beginning my freshman year, I often feel a little behind, developmentally, compared to my fellow classmates. So I would enthusiastically advise myself to be a well rounded student in college and take full advantage of all the college life has to offer.

The greatest advice I could give myself is to enjoy college. I spent a significant amount of time worried about perfect grades and studying too hard. I would not advise myself to slack off, but just to ease up and enjoy the last bit of freedom before the real life starts. There were many community involvement events and social opportunites that I missed to study for tests. I really wish I had made a better balance between studying and living. I defenitly over did it when it came to studying. Now that am living in the real world and experiencing graduate school, while still maintaining a full time job, I can appreciate too late the opportunities I missed during my undergraduate experience. If I had heard that advice when I first started, I would have enjoyed college much more.

I would tell myself.... "It is ok to take some time off for yourself, but no more than a year. Relax, have fun, but make the most of it. Go to college out of state for a new adventure and to make new friends. Be disciplined in your studies and don't procrastinate; it only makes it harder. Don't get caught up in thinking you have to know what you want to major in right away. It will come to you. Just make sure it is something that will bring you joy everyday (money would be nice too, but not the important thing here). Make sure that what you do everyday has a meaningful purpose."

I would like to tell the high school version of myself to be more ambitious. I would tell myself to do the Honors program. The harder classes will be more worth it in the end. I would want her to find time to attend more extra-curricular activities. Also, the strongest advice I could give would be for the high school version of me to think harder about her intended major. I would want her to look further into the future and really think about where she is going to go with her studies. I would advise her to choose the best school the first time around and to study a field that is not only enjoyable, but also one she'll really get something out of. Furthermore, I would tell her to plan the summers way ahead of time and to not put off internships. Finally, I would tell her to start from day one saving for a study abroad trip so that she knows that she has the opportunity to go.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice, I would have told me not to worry, and not to be scared, because everything was going to work out fine. When I began applying for colleges, I was worried about whether or not I would like Texas A&M, since I came from such a small high school, and A&M has nearly 50,000 students enrolled. Not to mention, I was completely terrified about leaving home and starting a new life, as I think many students are. It took one week of classes, one Midnight Yell Practice, one football game, and I was hooked. For life. Now, moving on to my second year here, I know deep down that there is something special about Texas A&M. The entire school, in fact the entire town, comes alive with tradition, the sense of family, and, of course, that good old Fightin' Texas Aggie Spirit. My whole life I've been searching for a place where I belonged, a place that I feel in my heart is home. I believe I have found that place here at A&M. It is a school unlike any other.

Genuinely pursue others. Seek out relationships and learn to love others and pour into their lives. Life is short and education, careers, and wealthy all pale in comparison next to loving others. Be involved in the community, not just in a "I need a resume” way, but rather strive to serve others. Don't selfishly think of yourself when you volunteer but rather seek to help others and love on those in distress. Life really is too short for selfish thinking about my goals, my priorities, and my things. If you just open up your eyes, you will see real people in need of love all around you and if you would simply reach out and love them, you would experience true joy. Turn off the video games and the silly fiction novels and open your eyes to the world. Time flies faster than we’re ever willing to admit and all of life boils down to how I loved.

If I could go back to my high school self and tell him what I knew now I would tell him to try harder his first semester and not take school so lightly. Although my first semester was not terrible (I finished with a 3.0), I could have easily done a lot better if I would have known how to apply myself and practice better study habbits. Four years later I will be graduating with a 3.7/4.0 over all GPA and a 4.0 major GPA; having made all A's for four consecutive semesters. Granted I needed my first year in college to give me the experience I needed to succeed, however, if I had known the tricks of the trade before making novice mistakes I believe I could have finished college with a more competitive GPA.

If I could go back in time to when I was a senior in high school I would let myself know of all the things that are coming ahead. With this, I mean both the good and the bad things. I will not necessarily tell myself what to do because I believe that the actions and choices I have taken up to now have taken place for a reason and it is part of a bigger plan. However, I would warn myself of the things that could help me with the transition such as better study habits and what to expect from the professors. From my high school to my college it was a tough transition on the scholar side because my high school was very easy and the professors here expected new things from me. Besides this, I would tell myself to get ready an unforgettable experience.

Well, in all honesty I feel that if i were to go back and tell my self to do it all differently, then I would not have learned a thing from my experiences. If I could go back, I would tell my younger, more eager, naive self to realize that the world is out there. Whether you are ready or not. With that being said, don't lose your ability to maintain a positive outlook on life - it comes in handy when you feel alone. Remember you are not alone - everyone is currently going or has gone through this same transition of adolescent to adult and it's terrifying for all. Transitioning from one point in your life to another is a repeating occurence in life. Also, though there does need to be a certain level of seriousness and dedication involved in all of this make sure you are doing this for the right reasons. For yourself, for your future, for your well being and happiness. Life is short and only you can make your life what you want it to be, all the trials and tribulations you will encounter will better adapt you for the world.

The most important piece of advice I would give myself would be that plans are great, but if/when things don't go as planned, it's okay. College is a place to discover who you are, what you like, and what you don't like. Mistakes throughout the college journey are an inevitable and crucial part of it. In high school, I would make lists and plan things to the tee, but in college I realized that it is impossible to plan my whole life, and it's better to live in the now than to plan my life away. My first semester was a reality check--I didn't get all of the classes I wanted and I discover the major I had chosen in high school was no longer my passion. If somebody had told me this would happen to me my first semester of college, I probably would have went ballistic, but I accepted things for what they were and I worked with what I had. I finished my courses and discovered a major I am very enthusiastic about, but none of this would have been possible had things not gone as originally planned.

There are several things I would want to tell my high school self about college if I could. Probably the most important thing I would tell my high school self is not to let anyone dissuade you from your goal. This would be a very important thing to tell myself because in the last two years I’ve had a lot of people try to push me into things I don’t want to do. Though I have stood my ground and stuck with my goals, this would have been good advice as a high school senior because with encouragement to stand my ground I think it would have been easier. Another thing I think I would like to tell my high school self about college if I could go back in time is to save money. College is really expensive and it would have really helped if I had started saving up some money for it in high school.

I would tell my high school senior self to stay true to who you are, but still be open to experience new adventures. Do not worry about the small things, just focus on the big picture and continue to go after the things that matter most.

For starters dont be so worried about what other people are doing and tring to fit in. Dorm life is hard but you can get throw it. Stay true to who you are and have a little fun now the then. Don't major in CAD at WDT its not really for you, save two years, and 5 thousand dollors. Major in graphic design at the Art Institute of Portland insted. It is far form home but trust me its the best desion you'll ever make. I know your really worried about money but take a deep breath and calm down. There are many scholarships out there and grants but you just need to know where and when to look. There are going to be times when you feel like your going under and cant do it. These classes are ment to push you out of your comfert zone and it will be hard but you'll get past it and make some very great things.

If I had the luxury to travel back to my senior year I would have so much to say about what I should and should not do. The first of these would be about the preparation needed for college. One way to ensure complete readiness for college is by being aware of the college you are going to attend. As a senior, prior to my acceptance to Texas A&M, I looked up information on the school occasionally instead of actually visiting. Not a good idea! Providing that A&M is a huge school, one or two websites can't give you the full experience of the school like attending it can. Alongside from being aware of the campus, visiting helps the transition from high school to college much easier. I would also advise a high school senior not to wait until the last minute to apply for financial aid or scholarships. There is so much money out there waiting to be applied for, you just have to want it bad enough!

Live in a college dorm with your classmates and go to tutoring as often as possible. Do not become complacent with your studies or your classes. Also do not be concerned with work during school as it serves as a distraction. Make sure that you seek aid and assistance from professors, teaching assistants, tutors and friends to better understand your curriculum.

As a high school student it's very easy to blend right in with your friends and most times that's the comfortable zone. As a college student at a large school it's extremely important to find a way to stand out in the crowd. It could be by finding a great group of people to get involved with, or by talking to your professors on a regular basis or just by being an outstanding student. Blending in happens often, but learn to be extraordinary and don't be afraid to be yourself. No one can take extraordinary away from you.

The main advice I would give myself is go and meet new people. I grew up in a small rural town, Boon Michigan which does not even have a stop light and went to what I thought was a small school in a bigger city in Saginaw Michigan but it still overwhelmed me. I withdrew, became lethargic and generally freaked out with all the social situations. Now as a junior in a community college I seek out others and have become a strong social component of my RN cohort group. My epiphany occurred while working on Mackinaw Island the summer after my freshman year. The 10 to 12 hour days often without breaks gave me no time to worry about all the dorm life issues that occurred in the dorms at night. By the end of the summer I realized I had made lifelong friends. Life is full of changes and new experiences and you have to learn to take things as they come, embrace people for who they are and look for similarities not differences.

I would say to be sure to go to anything that the college offers for freshmen before the school year starts. All freshman should be involved and find a way to become part of the college community as soon as you can. The one thing that i do NOT regret is joining a soroity and the two other service clubs that I joined. Being part of these groups not only helps me feel a sense of belonging, but they also help me with study groups and even course/professor decisions as I regoster for courses. I would also say to be ready to study and never, never get behind in reading assignments or any other assignments or projects in your classes. Above all, always stay true to yourself!

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would give myself some advice. I would tell the 2009 edition of me to relax, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Making the transition to college is one of the most exciting, and sometimes one of the most stressful, times in every student’s life. I was so busy worrying about deciding what school I was going to go to, how much it was going to cost, and not to mention the fact of whether or not I was even going to get accepted. Two years later, it’s all starting to work out. I’ve recently been accepted to the school I’ve always dreamed of attending and will be transferring there this fall. Because of my ACT score and grades I’ve already received a small scholarship from my school that will definitely help, but there is still a lot to go before everything is paid for. But yet I’m more excited for school than I have ever been. I wish I could tell my former self that everything would work out. I can hardly wait for school to start!

I would definitely let myself know to not stress it too much. I mean, you honestly have no way of knowing what you're getting into until you're there, but you can just anticipate a new pace of life and know that you'll rise to the occassion. It's ok to not know what major you want. Odds are the first one won't be what you anticipate anyway, and you can spend some valuable time looking into other interests, eventually leading to one that you'll stick with. Also be looking for other growth opportunities. It's your first year of college! Have fun! Get to know people, work hard from the start so you don't have to pick up slack later. Things won't necessarily go as planned, but if you stay on top of it, you'll find your niche and your friends and even new passions that you can carry with you for the rest of your life. College is fun. It's tough. You don't have your family or the friends your used to, but there is a new life waiting for you and it's more than you could anticipate.

"Don't eat the school cookies!" This may sound weird, but boy is it true. As I have made it through my first year at community school, studying Exercise Science, I have found that I am extremely crunched for time. With that I have found minimum time for exercise and meal planning. Although I still keep up with it, I realize now that if I would have learned healthy lifestyle habits in high school this process would be much less stressful! I lost about 30 pounds once graduating high school and I have learned so much during this time. However, since I was "commited" to unhealthy habits in high school it is so easy to be tempted to fall back into those now. One amazing thing that I have taken away with this work, besides a smaller size, is the ever-growing interest I have discovered in it. It has truly led me to what I want to do in life and it is so exciting! Now in class and I am amazed by the fascinating health facts I am learning, and one things for sure, I wasnt thinking that back in high school.

The most important thing I would tell my high school self would be to stop worrying about the future. Everything will work out. Life will be full of unknowns and no one in the real world can predict their future; the adventure of figuring it out is worth the suspense though. Keep working hard, regardless of the fun things you're missing, because it will open so many doors for you later. Don't sweat the small mistakes. You’re not perfect and you’ll mess up, but the lessons you learn will help you later on in ways you can’t see right now. Learn how to wash clothes and start to appreciate your mom’s cooking; you're going to miss it. Enjoy the time you have left with your high school friends but don't waste it feeling sad about leaving them. Make memories now and know that if their friendship is important enough, it will last. Learn how to manage your time now and balance a healthy life with your social, academic, and spiritual life. All those aspects are important so don't focus on one and leave out another. Lastly, keep smiling no matter what.

Don't stress so much! College is a time to grow and excell academically, but also socially and spirtitually. College is very different from high school when it comes to studying. In high school, you can get by with studying the night before. In college, studying a little every week is definitely the way to go. The college experience is what you make of it. Preparing early for tests allows you to throw in a couple relaxing nights with friends. It allows wiggle room in your schedule if an emergency comes up. If you do your school work first and do it ahead of time, you will be left with plenty of time to volunteer, work and have time with friends. College isn't the nightmare studying or the crazy partying that is shown on tv. College is about being yourself, excelling in what you can, and realizing that you can't do everything in one night. Don't over commit to too many friends, groups or classes!

If I went back in time and talked to myself I would tell myself that their is plenty of time for a serious relationship later in life. Right now I need to focus on my education and what field I would like to work in. I need to take this more serious because in order to have a great life and not have to struggle for the things that I need and want to need to continue my education. I would tell myself that while everyone else is out there at the parties having a good time, it would be smarter to stay at home and concentrate on my studies. The sooner that I can enroll in college and take courses towards my degree the quicker I will be finished and I can then go out and really enjoy life without worrying about how the bills will get paid. I would tell myself that in order to have that house I have always wanted and take care of my children I would have one day I would need to have a secure job. One that would pay for the things we all need. Stay around positive people and influences.

If I could go back in time to when I was a high school senior, I would tell myself to take as many AP and dual credit courses as I could, because they only get harder in college. I would also do better my Freshman year, which is what really hurt by GPA, because I did not take any pre-AP classes. I would also tell myself to live up every minute because you can never go back. College is a whole new experience, and while I love every second of it, I miss my close high school friends and playing Volleyball. All in all though, I would tell myself that I did great and that in the future, I was proud of everything I accomplished because it got me to where I am today.

Make the most of your time, it goes by so fast GET INVOLVED- you will meet your best friends in college Study but don't forget to have fun- you will remember those times the most Call home every so often Meet your professors Don't get a dog

In high school, I got all of the typical advice from my counselors and teachers. "Watch out for that freshman fifteen!" or "Don't procrastinate!"... these were typical. How could I forget the last piece of advice from my parents: "have fun... but not TOO much fun." I didn't need to be reminded of these things. Most of them also applied to high school. What people didn't tell me was that I should definitely invest in a bike. It comes in handy, and cuts travel time in half. Nobody told me that College Station, Texas has a rainy season. I would tell myself to buy some rainboots and ALWAYS carry an umbrella in my backpack. Nobody told me that sometimes refridgerators in dorm rooms go out, so you should always be friends with your neighbor just in case you need to store your perishables in their fridge! Nobody told me that finals week is literally the most stressful week. Ever. I would tell myself to take pictures of every moment and always make an effort to befriend that stranger. I would tell myself to calm down, because no matter how hard it may seem, you can do it.

Senior year of high school was a time filled with stress, lack of sleep, and anticipation of what was to come. Now I have entered into the college world, a world of hard work and fun experiences. As I look back I ask myself was all that worrying worth my time, could I have utilized my last year in high school any better? If I could speak to myself then, knowing what I know now, what would I say? I would tell myself don’t worry about the details of how everything is going to work out, it will all work out in the end. I would tell myself keep working hard, because hard work is what is going to get you through, not just high school and college, but through life. Sleep more, dream bigger, and know that what ever is coming your way was made for you to handle. Looking back today I would say to myself of the past “ take a deep breath, just keep moving, I believe it all works out in the end.”

You should feel very confident and excited to enter Texas A&M University. It is a great place to have personal relationship with others and professors. I am very glad that I decided to go to Texas A&M instead of Texas University, and you should feel that way too. Texas A&M has great professors and teaching assistants who are always willing to help and guide you. Most of them are very friendly and nice. It is really cool to be part of the old traditions such as 12th Man, Midnight Yell, Gig 'Em, Bonfire. We also have many creative and leadership programs, and you can learn a lot from them; so make sure to join several of them at the beginning of the semester. Make sure to join Honors Program at Texas A&M. It gives you a lot of information and advantage that will help you throughout your education. And be confident about your choice of major. This school fits perfectly for you! So don't hesitate! Lastly, be very thankful to people around you like your parents, friends, church members, and teachers. I now realize how lucky I was back then.

If I would go bacak to be a high school senior, knowing what I know, I would tell myself that college life is not like high school. Professors may be wanting the best for you, but unlike high school where they pushed you, in college it is all about you and you have to be your own boss. You have to know what it is you want in life and strive towards that. I would also tell myself to be ready for alot of studying and independence. College life is all about self-governance and having a ocus and a goal in mind. This is the advice I would tell myself.

If I could go back in time as a Senior I would have prepared more for my SATs test so that I could have gotten a better score. Also if I could go back I would have been more into it in deciding what major to chose and what school are perfect for me and not only that but I think that I could have done a better job i high school knowing how important this was as well. The advice that I can give to myself is that there's always a reason why things happen. Yes I could have done better if I were more into it on planning what school to go and picking out my major, but the truth is that is not always what you want but is what you can get. That's my adivce I would take.

I would tell myself to focus on going to college right away, and try to apply for a lot of scholarships and financial aid. I would also tell myself to stay focus and strive for the best you can do!

Hard work in high school transfers to an easier college experience. In many areas of my high school career I worked very dilligently while others I could have been much more successful. For instance, I stayed very involved in my church, and the Boy Scouts of America program. Both of these have already helped my college career and Boy Scouts will help me through my life career. Contrarily, I should have taken more time to lead in my school and to improve my SAT and ACT scores. Boy Scouts is a great leadership program, but exhibiting leadership in a more diverse society like school is additionally very helpful. Having this experience gives an enormous headstart to starting college off successfully and I believe I had a good start, but there was room for improvement. Furthermore, the SAT and ACT tests are much more important than high school grade point average. I only took the test once and did not do any specific study programs for the ACT. I could have greatly improved my score by taking it more times. A good high school career jumpstarts a good college career and these little tips would make a drastic difference.

Most people go to college to decide what they want to do. For me it was different, I knew what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it; my time in college wasn't going to be spent determining what I was going to do. To my surprise, college provided something unexpected: perspective. As I began to take challenging classes, to learn how I could apply concepts in mathematics and science to real-world problems, I saw how my education was more than a diploma to get a higher salary. For me, college brought responsibility to help others. The knowledge I have acquired almost forces me to put it to use and help make the world a better place, as cliché as it may sound. I no longer think about the day when I will graduate as the day I will start making money, but as the day I will begin to help others by tackling tough computer science problems. Everyone should get a chance to go to college to, not only to get a formal education, but also to learn something about themselves. For me it was perspective, for others it might be life’s calling.

During myy first semester of college, I have gained knowlege, realization of my future goals, and responsibility. College has prepared me for my future and has created many walls that I had to climb in order to succeed. The experience in itself has proven to be a value as I strive toward my goals. Thanks to Texas A&M University, I have grown socially and academically creating a well rounded human being.

I have learned a tremendous amount of crucial information and life skills by attending the institution of Texas A&M. It has taught me how to be more independent and work for my future more. I'm only a second semester freshman at the university so I dont feel like my learning stage is completely over but I realize I'm learning more and more about myself and who I want to be and growing in my faith by joining a Christian sorority. It has been such a valuable opportunity because I'm able to get a prestigious education so I can later follow my dreams of working in the medical field. I feel Texas A&M has been crucial and still will be as I go on in my education and graduate an Aggie.

College has so far being a great experience for me. First of all, i never believed myself in college after High school but since am glad I got in into college. Based on my college experience, I managed to maintain a grade point average of 4.000 out of 4.000, finally decided on what to do with my life and had a couple of career related friends. Additionally, the povided my independency in the sense that i can rely on my academy experience to hold a better position in the society. Independency in the sense that I can think critically and analytically to a problem at hand. Although it is hard to get college experience with the necessary resources but to say it all, it is a very unique investment.

These past 3 years have been an amazing experience for me not only as a student, but a person as well. All the falculty and staff here at A&M are so incredibly knowledgeable in their specific field of work, so the classes are alway so interesting and learning the material is worth remembering. The lessons I learn in the classroom are also pertinent to my future career goal of becoming an ER doctor. I feel well prepared for Medical School, and the professors here are very encouraging. I could not ask for a better experience academically. Texas A&M University has taught me many life lessons as well. Whether it be learning to do my own laundry that first month of freshman year or learning to communicate effectively with other students and my professors, I will definitely walk away from here feeling more prepared for life outside of my parent's home. Here at A&M, the professors not only prepare you for your future career goals, but they also prepare you for "real life." I have slowly become less dependent on my parents and others around me and have increasingly become more independent and sure of myself.
