I have gotten a lot out of this college experience. Going to college has been really fun and a great experience. No one should say money is a problem when going to college. There are so many way's to be able to attend college . I know if I can apply for a scholarship anyone can. It does take work, time and no one will do it for you . Especially if you want to make sure it's the way you want it ,you have to do it yourself. I have experienced that college is way more different than high school. You really want to graduate once you enroll and you really want to try your best in every subject. I have learned college is not only there for you to have something to do when you get out of high school but college is all about your future. You will be able to let your kids and your grand kids know how fun and important college is. Also from my experience you going to college encourages the younger ones in your family. It's a wonderful experience that everyone should take advantage of.

After High School all the signs pointed me toward my Junior College and understanding what is best for my life. About this time is when I realized a big change must occur. Topping out at 5?7? and 140 lbs. an athletic career was not probable; so I turned my competitive attitude in sports to a competitive attitude in the classroom. College has inspired me to learn and grow and realize the knowledge I attain will enhance my standard of living. I turned off the football game and picked up a book and it opened new doors that were unimaginable three years ago. College has inspired me to discover new possibilities and never be a closed window, but to accept knowledge and different perspectives in my life. My higher education has transformed my mindset from an entitlement attitude to a strong work ethic and individual empowerment. This won?t happen over night but the step by step process I will enjoy every minute of. I have nowhere else to go but up, because I am committed to being successful and making my mother, siblings, teachers and schools proud to say they were apart of my life.

I have found that my college experience has given me increased educational benefits and an enriching social experience. It has been valuable to attend because of my increase in knowledge of academic subjects, and of subjects concerning my future career in computers.

I definitly got a lot of beneficial input from my experience in college. To begin with college professor taught me to view the world from a different view point, especially, because most of the classes I have taken have to do with society and history, I learned in many cases not to repeat the mistakes from the past. In addition, I got to meet different people from all over the United States and the world by joining different clubs at the college, such as, the History and Political Science club, Phi Theta Kappa and Student Ambassadors. It has been a value to attend to college because now I view the world with greater knowledge and humility than before and in a small way it has made me a better person.

It's valuable to attend college because learning should be never ending. I believe that people take their education for granted and it puts a strain on my heart when people don't realize the biggest thing you can give to yourself is an education. When you are educated, you grow--you mature, you also learn so much more about yourself while attending college; it's all about the experience. Since I've been in college I've realized that there's always going to be obstacles that aren't necessarily bad, but good. Each obstacle teaches you a new lesson in regards to life, and once everything is said and done, a person can feel accomplished when reaching their goals. And not only is an education important, but experience is just as equal.

Through my college experience, I have gotten the opportunity to further discipline myself. In order to be a succsessful online student, I must be willing and able to schedule my time properly. At first, this was a little difficult for me. I was used to having a set time schedule with teachers who kept me on track. In contrast, taking classes online requires me to make time for learning, homework, and tests while rememeber when all of my assigments are due. It is molding me into a more organized, time contentious person. It is valuable for me to attend college because my husband and I would like to share a life enriched by many children. My income with certainly help us get to a level of financial comfort where this is be practical. In addition, my husband is an active duty pilot in the US Army. God forbit if something were to happen to him I would be solely responsible for the well-being of all our children. While it is a devastating thought, we must be realisitc and take the proper steps to ensure that our children have the things they need.

It has been over 10yrs since I have been in school so now that I am back in school I have gotten so much more knowledge in the areas I have been studying. I have also learned to have time management and good organizational skills . I have a 4.0 gpa. I have also learned to set goals and stick with them. I have determation to keep my grades at 4.0. I have gotten the determation to want to strive and succeed at everything I do. I have gotten better self esteem. I set a goal to get my associates degree in pharmacy then go work at a pharmacy while I continue school to get my doctorin so that I can open and own my own pharmacy and be the pharmacist at my pharmacy. Before I started at the University of Phoenix I would have never thought that this would be possible. I enjoy my classes alot and like being in class online daily. I also have more modavation then I ever have to meet all of my goals and finish school.

I have learned how to become more independent, how to solve problems when the administration is being unhelpful, and how to be organized and keep on track with everything I have to do to become a successful adult.

The value of the college experience has certainly transcended my expectations from when I applied and attended as soon as my senior year of high school was completed. The opportunities available to me were alien in comparison to the lifestyle during my years of high school; the liberation of an adult setting was a fruitful and well-received accomodation that contributed to my overall success over this two year period in community college. As a math major, I have frequently drifted far from my college's limited teachings in the various math subjects available and sought to teach myself these subjects without an instructor. In the inevitable times when I become stuck in a certain area of study, I have relied upon the time and memory of professors of mine to clear my confusions; certainly, without the inspiration of this handful of instructors, I would not be as knowledgeable in my field as I am to date. I am currently employed at my college for math and physics tutoring, which has rewarded me with an amateur understanding of teaching while simultaneously giving me a stricter understanding of the material. In summary, my college experience has been rich and utterly beneficial.

I have learned so much this year as a college freshmen. I have had the opportunity to be in the student body executive council as the activities coordinator, and next year as I finish my associates degree, I will be serving as student body vice president. By having these opportunities, it will show me a better perspective on how to be an effective leader. It will also greatly show me how to be a more ambitious individual, and overall student.

I have learned that it is possible to attend school while working, going to school, and being a single mom. Being able to do these things has made me see that it is possible to acheive anything despite the obstacles that you face. I was in foster care growing up and I never thought that college would be a choice that I had to make. But here I am doing all the things that I never thought were possible.

Out of my college experience I have obtain many valuable lessons. One of the most important is managing independence. As we go thought high school and we move to college we expect to be treated as adults and we don not know how to manage independence. In college you are on your own for example in high school the teacher prepares a lesson plan and uses it to tell students how to prepare for the next class period (e.g., ?Be sure to read Chapter 3 in your textbook.? or ?Don?t forget to study for tomorrow?s test.?) and in college the instructor prepares a syllabus, distributes and discusses it on the first day of the class, and then expects students to read and follow the syllabus without having to be reminded about what will be done or what assignment is due during the next class period. As we move from high school we also need to chage our way of thinking and be prepare for the real world. It has been valuable to attend college because I not only learn to be independent but also to be prepare for everthing.

What I have gotten out of my college experience, is the ability to better communicate with others. I have learned the importance of friendship and loyalty. It has also been a big step into the real world, as college has made me realize that I cant hold on to Mom and Dad forever I have to learn how to do things on my own. College has made me a better person, a stornger person and an even more sociable person.

I made the decision to return to college to obtain my bachelor's degree to improve my marketability as a nurse. The experiences I have had since returning to college have been priceless. It has afforded me an opportunity to see how my life experiences can augment my educational experiences. I have also gained confidence in my basic academic skills in areas such as writing and math.

From my educational experience with the online branch of the University of Phoenix I have learned the importance of technology in the advancing world. Attending school online has been valuable by opening my eyes to new opportunities in the world around me. The online availability of this school made it possible for me to attend an educational program; I am grateful to this university for this reason. This school has bettered my writing ability and taught me the importance of a schedule while demonstrating lessons and assignments through a thorough and timely manner. I enjoy the having the opportunity to get straight out of bed and work on my assignments without the hassle of calling a transportation service to drive me into town to attend the university in town that does not provide married housing. This school has given me the opportunity at a head start towards a better future for my husband and I and our future family. This school has helped to shape me into a better person by providing me with such high quality education and outstanding academic help. Each day I look forward to learning something new in my classes that will apply in my future.

I have gained so much knowledge of how to communicate in the business world. I know now I have to set a tone, know the audience and structure it correctly. Reading Comprehension and Retention has also taught a lot. I wasn't very good at comprehending the material I read. With all of the reading comprehension techniques, I found ways to read and comprehend any and all reading. We took Personality and Intelligence Assessments, these assessment taught me a lot about my and about my peer's learning styles. I wish these assessments would be given to all students so we would know which of their learning styles will partner with mine to make our learning and study more effective. I have also realized I can do this, I have a 3.4 average and I will continue to strive to keep that average.

I have discovered that it is possible for me to do the work. Joining in on discussions online, and doing the reading, and homework show me that at 58 I can do this. I didn't get all positive feedback from friends and family when I told them what I was planning on doing. I've always been interested the legal profession, whether it's police related, or maybe private detective, or corrections. I've been accused of not following through, except with my current profession, and I want to do this for myself and to show people my age that it is not too late to accomplish something like college. I am so proud of myself for having the guts to do this. I've never been a good student, have ADD, and a lot of stress, but I have added college to my plate, and the experience has been, so far, great, scary, nerve racking, intense, positive and has given me the feeling of future independence. I'm in the process of ending a 23 yr. marriage (27 yr. relationship) and on my own for the first time. I have a feeling of value now. It feels good!

To date, my college experience has been rewarding and enlightening. I have found that once you have a career focus and understand what and where your personal skill sets are, filling the need for education becomes more enjoyable and rewarding. I find that the school I am enrolled in has filled much of that void, even with some minor adjustments to my career path. I am still happy to say that I feel satisfied with the level of direction given and the level of direction attained. I am eager to continue my path of self discovery with the hope of helping others gain such a path in their lives. Seeking help through scholarship programs like this one is a wonderful added benefit that I hope to see fulfilled.

My college experience so far has been short, but great. I am learning so many new things. Although I am only attending a community college, I still feel like I am just as educated as a person who is attending a four-year college. The teachers and staff at West Valley college are so helpful and caring. When you need something, they are always right there. The first class I took at West Valley was a Careers and Lifestyles class. Once the class was over, I had succesfully chosen a major. Early Childhood Education. Before taking that class, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. It feels so valuable to me knowing that West Valley not only helped me choose my major, but is now helping me to follow through with it and succeed.

I have a sense of pride when talking about returning to school. I have been reminded of how hard work does pay off. It is not easy in anyway, but well worth the effort. I have not felt the pride of bettering myself in a long time, and going back to school has provided that to me again. There is a long road ahead, but I am confident that I will succeed. I take my classes online and I feel that my classmates are also feeling the same feeling of pride I do. We are all there to help each other succeed and to assist each other in any way possible using the format provided to us. My classmates and I are spread across the country yet we are still able to form bonds and friendships that are sure to last a lifetime. I am excited everyday that I log in to my classroom to read the input of my instructor as well as my classmates. I was very nervous to start classes again but with the support I receive those feelings are gone and replaced with pride.

I have increased my knowledge about every subject that I have taken thus far and I still use a lot of the materials that I learned to help me with other classes. Attending class was so important, because there was in class assignments almost every day that I went to class and the class work prepared you for what was going to be on the next test. On top of that I was only tested on information that was covered in class so if I did not attend class I would have been studying a lot more information then I needed to know. Attending my classes helped make the subject clearer for me to understand, and it helped me do good in my classes. By me attending class I learned more and passes all of my classes.

I am a late returning student (single Mom, Full time worker and care of a disabled person) This expierience has been hard but it will all be worth it. I have learned to apply myself and I can do it! When i was in high school i struggled with a learning disibility but now im in college i have learned how to use my disabillity to be successful. I enjoy the atmoshpear and the continued learning. i want to show my 16 year old daughter it is never to late to go to school, even though i should of went right out of high school.

I received my Associates Degree and was able to advance my salary. I have had a very good career and have many years of experience in the office enviornment as well as the accounting field. The most value I received was knowledge that has served me in all walks of life. I have been able to use my knowledge in helping others study for their GED, teach some computer skills, and consult on office procedure. In the workplace, I was able to teach co-workers computer skills to help them in their job. I was able to use my organizational skills to set up new programs for the corporation I worked for. The most important thing I have received from college is KNOWLEDGE.

I have gotten a certification out of my college experience. It is something I can mist definitely do, but not a job I can do enjoyably in the future. This is why im trying to go back to school for something that I can enjoy and can benefit my daughter and I financially. However, attending school for different majors has been very beneficial to me. It has showed me how to perform different taskes in different working enviroments, and has made my resume very lengthy.

Becoming a University of Phoenix student has completely turned my life around. The general quality of my life has steadily increased since I first enrolled. I feel more empowered and educated, and that is just the start. I now have goals, hopes, and dreams where I had nothing before, this college experience literally saved my life. Maybe someday I can help others realize their ultimate potential and use my real world experiences combined with my college education to help America?s troubled youths not have to go through the things I went through to get to where I am. This experience has forever changed my life for the better, and I feel as if I am blessed to have the opportunity to raise my status in life so that I may someday help other children who slipped through the cracks of society as I did as a youth. I have come a long way from street kid to college graduate, and I will use my story to inspire others like I was to greatness.

I have learned more of myself and that I do have the ability to be a wife, mother, employee and a full time student at the same time. The experience has been stressful but will soon be rewarding.

I have not started my classes yet so I really have not gotten any experience out of it yet.

In addition to receiving valuable knowledge, I have also gained confidence and the ability to help my children make sound decisions when making college choices. I have also gained maturity and tools from my course work that have enriched my life. The field of Psychology as a whole has given me more perspective and a brighter outlook on life. Regardless of career paths, I am confident that these tools will be beneficial for all walks of life.

My college experience has given me a purpose. It has also given me a clear goal of where I want to go in my life and how I will be able to provide my family with the things that they need. It has been valuable for me to attend college because I have been able to gain knowledge and skills that I need to progress in my profession as well as skills such as time management and following through on goals that will carry to all aspects of my life. It has been an invaluable experience.
