College Experience Essay

My Experience I believe that when it comes to experiences we all have had an experience where our choices and actions shape who we are and it creates a path. Whether the path is good or bad depends on what the experience is and what you do regarding it but in my life I’ve had some really rough experiences. One of these experiences is choosing the right college to help me with my first step on a journey of a thousand miles. I hope that my experience at the Rockingham Community College will be one…

off and on, for the past few years. Practice taught discipline, determination, it made me want to perform the airforce value "excellence in all we do". Being on the team really helped me get into focus, it was tough and I wasn't the best but the experiences were so worth the five a.m. wake up calls. It's been a journey, from then to now. I only wish I'd been friendlier sooner. Being in ROTC really does change you, even if it's only slightly, but I don't think you really get that until you…

I have been enrolled at Copiah-Lincoln Community College for less than four months and am the first in my family to go to college. While these circumstances may lead some to repudiate my authority on the matter, I can assure all that the time I've had has been more than enough to create a proper review. Campus life is one area that has defined my experience attending a college. Co-Lin does not have the most alluring campus I have ever visited and, unfortunately, becoming lost is in no way…

going to college but my parents convince me to attend in hopes of achieving a higher education and succeed in life. Ultimately, they told me of different accounts on how college helped my family and relatives get good jobs. For instance, through college, my Aunt Nonie was able become a pathologist, my mom and sister became a nurse and my dad as an electrical engineer. With this in mind, I was motivated to attend college and succeed. But going to college has its challenges. In my experience,…

My primary thoughts towards Gordon College were created during a prospective student day. It turned out to be a negative experience that created a pessimistic view of this school and carried on my cynical view of Christians. It’s important because had I continued with my previous bias I would have attended a secular college which may have been a positive experience but would have definitely lead to a drastically different life. During the prospective student day I was placed at a table with…

school. What happens next? Obviously, college because it’s basically expected as the next step in life. For me, it was my only option, but I had no idea where I wanted to further my education. Somehow I ended up at Wichita State University (WSU). There were many obstacles to overcome through my college search, such as: financial reasons, student life, and where I felt most at home. Some of these relate to WSU, but others do not. I am excited for my college experience, but often I question…

than a hope. Through my experience at junior college, I know I stand capable of competing academically with students who are keener than I am. Studying alongside students with more discipline than myself will improve my skills plus teach me more than I could learn myself. Concurrently, in today’s job market, having a college degree is considered a basic requirement for most employers. Additionally, my sister and I are the first in our family to ever be able to pursue a college education in hopes…

environment and campus life of the school. My biggest worry is getting to college and not being able to find people that I can fit in with, and the campus culture being very different than mine. Along with the culture, I also like a very small environment and class size. I feel like with a smaller student body and class size, students can connect better with one another and with professors, which I really want in a college. Environment can also include things like dorms, clubs, intramurals, and…

twinge uncomfortable in the presence of disabled individuals—not because I looked down upon or disliked them, but simply because I feared acting awkwardly or saying the wrong thing around them. When I applied for the job during my senior year of college, I figured it would be a glorified babysitting position; instead, I found myself facing one challenge after another: communication barriers (many autistic children are nonverbal), behavioral adversities (aggressive episodes where I was punched…
