However, it is like that with many other students because making a transition is frightening and many of us find a way to run away from it. Everything in life is a challenge and it is scary as well, but for those who want to study it all starts of with college. It took me more than words to actually realize the reality that I am actually living right at this very…

Luther college Close nit community, supportive, and home are three adjectives I think of when I think of Luther College. When deciding on what college I was going to attend one of the ultimately helped me choose Luther was the community. From my freshman year experiences at Luther my peers on campus made Luther truly feel like I was at home. “Home” isn’t the house you grew up in, it is a place or places that make you truly feel yourself and complete. Luther, Spirit in the Pines, and my house I…

turning 16 years old and getting my driver’s license. This meant I was finally able to go out on my own and not rely on others to take me places anymore.

attending the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) for over five years and during my time here some of my skills improved. Many of the skills that improved are the ones that have helped me and will continue to help me through college. I do not think I would still be at CCRI if these did not improve. My skills that mostly improved are time management, note taking, and participation. Time management was a skill that I used to be horrible with, but got better with time. Going to college…

The early college program is a unique opportunity that allows “ students to extend high school by one year in order to earn both their diploma and up to 62 college credits from Muskegon Community College (MCC) at no cost to the student.” To me, the opportunity provided by mcc would help me achieve my goal of obtaining a phD in astrophysics. To be able to have earned an associate's degree will put me ahead of other students in both time, money, and college experience. Both in school and in my…
