Life Experiences by Andrea

Life Experiences by Andrea - November 2016 Scholarship Essay

If you had the chance to go back in time and change something would you? Maybe save yourself from that embarrassing hairdo or wrecking your new bike. Everyone has experiences whether they are little or small, good or bad. Without those experiences the human race would learn nothing. We need those experiences, they are what makes us who we are. Each and every person needs experiences through each and every day so we can learn. Both the bad and good experiences are to help us learn right from wrong and to have that knowledge of what to do in the future.

I am looking forward to experiencing college life and learning what its like to take care of your self and to live in the real world. Leaving high school and going to college is like a baby bird getting kicked out of the nest. We have to learn on our own, fend for ourselves, and learn how to be an adult. There are no classes on becoming an adult, you have to learn through experiences and these experiences will be in college. Whether the experiences are staying up twenty-four hours to finish an essay or learning how to cook soup in a coffee pot.

Those experiences in college will help me throughout the rest of my life and I will be thankful for every last one of them, because without them I would be nothing but helpless. So to answer the question, no i would not go back in time. I would not change a single thing because every single one of those experiences from the biggest to most minuscule have made me who I am today. Just like my college experiences will make me who I am in the future.
