How I have grown and what I have learned

     So far I have learned quit a few new things since I came to college.  For instance I now know that managing money is a huge factor.  I learned that I can no longer blow my money on random things but instead save it for only mandatory things.  I also know that when trying to live with someone you didn't know before college, adapting and making sacrafices is a huge factor in making it work.  One final thing is that I now realize that staying focused on what is important and not getting caught up in "the college life" will make a huge difference on how successful one will become.
     I feel that I have grown up about twenty years since coming to college.  Now that I am in charge of what I do and all the things I need to pay for I can finally see the stress one may incounter when having to juggle school, work,bills, and friend time.  I think that because of these things I have grown stronger as well.  I can see how many things I am actually capable of doing.  Knowing that I have gotten this far already shows that if I just keep working hard I CAN reach my goals.
     My experience so far has been a good one.  I have gained many things such as friends, knowledge, and courage.  I realize that college was a good choice for me and after changing my major I feel that I am on the right track to my life long goals.  I feel like, thanks to ISU, I have grown as a person and have learned many life lessons already.  I can not wait to see how much more I learn and grow after graduating in 3.5 years.
