Message to Future West 十分六合彩 Transfers
To future West 十分六合彩 transfers: don't be afraid to take those unrelated classes! They often narrow down what you want to do, and that makes it all the easier to pick a major and transfer. It's fun to experience different fields, but ultimately, checking in with a counselor will make it easier to ensure those same classes are going towards your needed GE requirements. While I think spending time on campus is fun and relaxing, make sure that you鈥檙e planning for the years rather than the semester alone, so that you don鈥檛 become too lax in planning your future. It helps to be prepared, and while we can鈥檛 hold control over the future, that preparation will make transferring a breeze. I wish you guys lots of social and academic luck!

Going into community college, I didn't know what to expect. However, I feel as though that's what made my experience at West 十分六合彩 College so memorable. I'm typically one to be on top of everything, oftentimes a bit uptight and anxious - but I soon realized that it's okay to thrive in my education and have a great time as well. Pushing myself to branch out and make friends, establish connections, and express myself on campus was something that I didn't think would make a difference in my time at college. But I was so wrong, it made all the difference! I'm proud of the person I've become because I have chosen to take steps out of my comfort zone over the past couple of years. Just be yourself, focus on yourself, and you'll thrive.

Meet with a guidance counselor early on and go over what classes you need to take, especially for the IGETC. Also, take the classes you want to take and be open to learning new things. Getting homework and studying done over the weekend to make the week less busy really helped me stay on top of my academic goals. Also, take advantage of West 十分六合彩's resources, like tutoring. Check in with professors as much as you can, even if it's just a question. Believe in yourself and do research about the universities you are excited about. You've got this!

I am an older student, returning to West 十分六合彩 after a 30 plus year semester break to complete my AA-T in music. I have learned to overcome (still learning) my past impatience which often prevented me from completing tasks and goals that would have greatly improved my life and in turn would have made me a greater help to those around me. In my journey I have discovered that having faith in God's ability bring about good outcomes in my life through perserverance is invaluable. Trust in God and you will find this to be true, "I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for good and not for bad, plans to give you a hope and a future". Take the first step and then the second. Faster than you think, you will have crossed the finish line. I did and so you can do it too!

Two pieces of advice that I cannot stress enough! First, if you鈥檙e having trouble finding friends, either get a job on campus, or join a PE class! Both of these options have a lot of face to face contact with people so friends will be easy to find. Secondly, if you are struggling in your classes, use the Math Resource Center (MRC) and the Success Center for their free tutoring.

Don't be afraid to ask questions! I had a million questions about a million different things because I was the first of my siblings to go through the college transfer process.

I navigated the first two years of my college career mostly on my own, but there were always resources for me at West 十分六合彩 when I needed help. From the counseling department, to the transfer center, to the professors, I always had someone to guide me on my journey.

Don't be afraid to take your time getting through community college. It's ok to drop classes and retake them later; go at the pace you're most comfortable with. I've definitely withdrawn from my fair share classes since I registered for West 十分六合彩. I honestly believe retaking these classes instead of accepting a mediocre performance has paid off for me in the long run. Both my GPA and my understanding of these classes are so much better than they would have been if I just accepted a C and focused on getting out as fast as I can.

Don't limit yourself, and don't give up! Attending community college was never part of my original plan, but looking back on it, it's definitely something that everyone should consider. For me, it was a second chance to get into the colleges I had dreamed of attending, but for others it may be a cheaper alternative, a time to figure out what major to study, or the only viable option to juggle all of life's responsibilities. Don't be discouraged that you may have to spend another two years at home while all your friend are having the "time of their life". Pretty soon, you'll be transferring to a college where you'll thrive and enjoy your stay. West 十分六合彩 is full of friendly people, small and interactive classrooms, and world-class breakfast burritos.

To all those who have thought that your dreans are out of reach and that you may not get around with anything - THINK AGAIN. There have been many students in history who have taken 4 years or even 5 years to get to where they want to be. I am one of those students - while I may have taken a long time, I'm still happy that I reached my goal and that my dream came true regardless of the circumstances that were thrown at me, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I fought through the dangers of failure all my life, including at West 十分六合彩, and managed to pass all of my classes. I never gave up on my dream, nor did all those students who have struggled throughout the years and will be graduating or transferring with me. For all of you out there, the words "give up" don't mean anything, not even to a group of athletes who have never even heard of winter sports before. Giving up is not who we are as students of West 十分六合彩; we are determined to make our dreams come true no matter the cost. As John Candy once said, "if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it." You then may ask yourselves - how would you know if you're enough? Well, the answer is, "when you cross the finish line, you'll know." And that is an unknown. As I have crossed the finish line at West 十分六合彩, I know that I won't be enough just yet, but I will still do great things at San Jose State and that includes getting a degree in Business with a concentration in accounting and then moving on to the real world.

When I started, I planned to only be here for two years and it turned into four. For those in a similar situation, it can seem discouraging to be at a community college for longer than planned. But in the end, if you stick to it and give yourself time and patience, you will achieve your goals.

Message to Future West 十分六合彩 Transfers
To all incoming West 十分六合彩 College students: every one of you has a unique story and life which has led you to this school to start your next chapter. First off, let me say that you are in a safe and beautiful place to discover who you want to be. There are many opportunities to get involved and if you choose to, you will gain something invaluable - memories that will last a life time. As I sit here typing this, I couldn't tell you what I learned three semesters ago with only a few short sentences (as I learned quite a bit), but what I can tell you simply is those sweet little moments of human connection that made this school into a community for me. So you might be a middle-college student, or an Au Pair student new in the area or you're just fresh out of high school, or you might be returning to school after decades of not attending school, or maybe you got a degree, but you need more school to figure yourself out regardless. West 十分六合彩 is the school of first, second and third chances. They will accept and welcome you regardless of who you are. Some of you might be here for two years, others it might take longer. It may even take 6 or 7 years to graduate or transfer. It doesn't matter because West 十分六合彩 will be here for you regardless because it is the school for people trying to find themselves and there is no timeline for that. So please, know you are going to be okay. Take a deep breath, as there is no timeline for when you need to be done. And for a few bonus tips: always pay attention for school announcements (you never know what they're giving away for free). Make sure to have a breakfast burrito too (they're pretty darn good). Oh, and if you ever find yourself in need of assistance, know that the school can help with food, finances and mental health (honestly, most everything you need, they really care about you here). So, in closing I wish you all the luck in the world and I hope you find the joy and knowledge you are looking for at this special school. P.S. If you're someone who doesn't like to get involved or be very social. West 十分六合彩 is also a school for you as well!

I would advise other students to reach out to a counselor when arriving at West 十分六合彩 College. It is good to have a plan set in place when figuring out what career path you want to take. During your classes, don't be afraid to reach out to your professors frequently - they give good advice and resources for future references. Balancing out your time diligently with studies and extracurricular activities is essential. Getting to know other people in your classes will help when forming a study group and making new friends. Feel free to check out the clubs offered on campus.

It鈥檚 okay to change your mind. I enrolled as a Business Administration major and graduated as a Biological Sciences major. It takes time to figure out what you want to do, so take the time to explore your options.

Message to Future West 十分六合彩 Transfers
I definitely recommend joining a program your first semester such as First Year Experience, Puente, TRiO, Umoja, etc. It helps you connect with peers that have similar goals and interests as you. These programs explain more in depth about transferring and help set you up for sucess early on. Being in First Year Experience helped set me up with a good support system that guided me through the rest of my 2.5 years at West 十分六合彩. It gave me counselors I was able to meet with and create an educational plan that got me through my time at West 十分六合彩. The biggest thing is don鈥檛 push yourself so hard. Only do what you can handle and you鈥檒l eventually get there. Don鈥檛 be discouraged if others graduate before you.

Don't give up! Use all the resources you can find and don't be afraid to ask questions. It's all going to be worth it in the end and you'll be so proud of yourself for pushing through it all.

Don't be afraid to take the next step. For over 10 years and 3 attempts to earn my degree, struggling with being a single mom, full time work, and at one point being homeless, I was finally able to do it. At one point this semester, I almost let my previous failures convince me I was not not ready and that I was not worthy, but I pushed past the fears and lies and realized that mountain of fear was nothing but a pebble. Keep pushing!

Hello future transfers! Don鈥檛 tell yourself you have to be in and out of community college. West 十分六合彩 has so much to offer and so many amazing teachers who are here to guide you on your path. This is merely a stepping stone to something greater. Take your time with classes, enjoy Drip coffee, try a breakfast burrito, laugh at Gary Fisher鈥檚 jokes, make some friends, and have a great time. Your experience here is what you make of it. If you want to get in and out, you can. I wanted to find myself and a degree path that was right for me, which took me a little longer but was well worth the wait. This is an amazing campus with so many incredible staff members and students, the only thing this campus is missing is you! Welcome to your new home, you鈥檙e going to love it here. Go Vikings!
