I am open, honest, truthful yet also insightful and understanding. I am a Strong woman with morals, belief, and character. I value life, myself and life of everything, everyone and all. I am mature, caring, giving, straight up and real!

I am not harsh, rude, or disrespectful but I am going to tell you the truth because you are asking for that. If you want a lie or support that you know is invalid because you question it yourself, please don't get mad at me for the truth because that is what sets us ALL free!! Peace, Venom



advice

For those of you who have gone to college and FINISHED, was it worth it? Truthfully?

How did you stay committed and motivated?

Was it really hard? Are community colleges hard?

What are the classes like.. because I'm not going to lie.. it makes me nervous. I dont want to be wandering around and get lost or whatever.

Better than highschool or worse..?

I'm just very anxious.

Yes, it was worth it for me -not because I make millions of dollars, but because it was a goal that I set for myself and reached it beyond the many obstacles I face. I was a teen age mother of two, and so I felt like I had to do it for myself but most importantly for them. It was hard as hell for me. I was a 4.0 student in High school and felt that college was going to be a breeze, it wasn't; however I did graduate with an accumulative of 3.9. It takes patience, maturity, determination and self motivation to stay committed. It takes being able to tell your friends that you will meet that you are studying when they feel like partying or skipping class.

How did I stay motivated - I thought of my future goals, what I wanted and what it would take to get it. I was determined that I wasn't going back where I came from and seeing my children everyday.

I attended a community college first before transferring to a HUGE college in Atlanta, where I knew no one. I was scared too and no, community college wasn't as hard for me as the university was. The Community College was smaller, I knew many people who attended, the teachers were much easier, I had a name and not just a number.

The classes were very different from high school. It combines what you learned in high school and advances it. The atmosphere to me was also different than high school at the University but at the community college.

I am able to find jobs and am considered faster than a non-degreed person, but there are other obstacles I face, beyond education or college with jobs. The pay isn't that great either. It's OK, but to be honest with you, I have seen people with NO college period advance, just as someone with a degree with has been discouraging for me, but again that's when I can internalize and be thankful that I reach that goal that I set out to reach. Better than High school or worse? I would say better because it's allowing you that opportunity to advance from a teenager to a young adult, and next an adult.

Good Luck and I hope you go, because I support obtaining as much education as you can! Some people aren't blessed to go and wish they could go. If you have that opportunity to go, be thankful for it, and go for it!
