Decent Essays
That are many things I learned in college. I learned accounting, math, IT and much more. All of these is the knowledge that I learned. Through the experience in college, I learned something more important that cannot by learned in books. The most important thing I have learned in college is self-discipline.
Self-discipline is the most importance thing in college. College is different from high school. Class schedules is not a fixed schedule provide by the school. Students have to pick their own schedule. How many classes can a student take is determined by the student's choice. There are times that I am not a full-time student and I have to take more class later in the semester. Without self-discipline, I mess up my class schedule in college.

    What a student was identified as in high school is not who they are in college. There are opportunities to change ways and become a better, goal-oriented person. College students are more capable of finding their independence and the proper time management skills.

In college, the professors are not required to do any of this. They expect students to keep up with everything from homework due dates, to notes missed in class. Since students make their own schedule, they are required to make sure that they get to class on time, and on the right days. If a student misses class in college, ultimately they are only hurting themselves.…
