How I've Grown, What I've Learned

               I believe I have grown a lot since the start of this class and my college experience. I believe I have grown in many different ways socially and academically. I have also learned a lot about this diverse world and how diverse college can be. I have also learned a lot of very important things from this class.

                I believe I have grown a lot socially and academically. Now that I am at college I feel like I can now talk to people more easily since I have started attending college. I can also relate to many different people due to my background and my experiences.  I have grown academically by being able to know when I must get things done and being able to get them done very early while not waiting until the last minute. A thing I must learn is to add more time on the weekends when I go home to complete homework and studying.

                I have gotten a lot out of this class. I learned that we all have styles of learning that differ in different ways and that we are also from different and diverse backgrounds. I learned about many helpful options on campus that are there to help me succeed during my college career. The entire Hixson staff is also very helpful and will be there for me anytime I need help.

                I have learned many lessons from my advisor and some instructors that will help me in the future of my career and life. They have taught me about the difference between ideals and realities. The peer mentor class was also very helpful to allow us to talk and ask questions to students who have already gone through our similar situation.

                So far I have loved going to ISU and many of the classes I have taken are not impossible to pass but yet they push me to my limits to get the GPA I want in the end. Iowa State has been great so far and I hope I continue to learn many things during my next four years.
