Importance Of My Experience

From the beginning of the year till now, I have definitely grown not only as a student but as a human being. I have learned things about myself and others that has helped me understand who I am as a person. Through my experiences, I know there is much more for me to learn, and I can’t wait. The first assignment I did was the peer interview. For this, I found someone before class started and asked them if I could interview them. Little did I know, this person lived in my building and we would become friends. We now do homework together. I do believe that without this interview I would have probably never talked to him. In my learning team, I have definitely made lasting friendships. One of my friends I met was Ryley. We are now in Sigma Alpha, …show more content…
I learned that agricultural business is a hard major, but as long as I work at it, I will be able to conquer it.

At the beginning of the semester I wish I knew exactly how to study for and take college tests. I wasn’t very good at studying at the beginning of the semester because I never really had to study in high school. If I were to do it over again, I would focus on what I needed to know I study that a
