I want to hear from students: Briefly describe at least one way in which you have grown since beginning college: Academically, personally, spiritually, etc. What led to this experience? Did you meet someone, challenge your own thinking, have a disagreement, join a club, participate in volunteer work, find employment, go on a vacation that put things into perspective? It could be anything you don't mind sharing. Just respond in a few sentences. You can choose to remain anonymous. en-us 2021-04-05 16:47:11 UTC 2026-01-19 18:31:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384045435 something I have done while being in college on a personal level is learning how to grow up. Somethings in life I don’t give a lot of energy to anymore because I just feel as though I have developed an adult mindset to things. Things I would do while I was younger I wouldn’t do now if that makes sense. ]]> 2021-04-05 17:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384045435 amgentry https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384161159 Starting college it taught me to think more, learn more about myself, and explore new things. ]]> 2021-04-05 17:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384161159 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384169545 One thing that has grown for me, is my mindset and myself all around. I have learned to put my energy towards the more positive things in my life rather than the negative. I have came across many situations that has forced me to put myself first, but for the better. I have many moments where I may double take but I have become much more conscious of it. ]]> 2021-04-05 17:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384169545 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384177581 Since being in college, I have been able to find who I truly am. Once I got to college I was able to tap into my own thoughts and understand what I actually want for my life. One thing that I've gotten into since coming to college is fashion. It's a way for me to express myself through my clothes. I makes me happy when I create an outfit that expresses my emotion. I was ready for a new environment because I was tired of my same ole small town!!]]> 2021-04-05 17:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384177581 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384177781 One way I have grown is mentally. One thing I have learned from my transition from high school to college is involving myself more in self care. In high school I was so focused on school and only school that it started taking a toll on my mental well being but transitioning to college help me understand that my wellness is just as important. ]]> 2021-04-05 17:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384177781 dsmccutcheon https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384181838 Ever since starting college, I have been able to handle stress much more efficiently as well as develop good time management skills. ]]> 2021-04-05 18:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384181838 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384182287 One way I grew since college was self-awareness in the context of acknowledging who is a true friend and who isn't. I came into college calling a lot of people "friends" when they barely knew me. A few happenings since being here opened my eyes about knowing who is really there for me and learning how much the word "friend" actually means. ]]> 2021-04-05 18:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384182287 acmarable https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384189160 One way I've grown in college is socially.

My bestie introduced me to many spiritual disciplines that I had not believed in, prior to our relationship. Without her, i would have never got into astrology, affirmations, meditation and other practices. I am grateful for what she has introduced to me to, for it has helped significantly change my life.]]> 2021-04-05 18:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384191770 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384193001 One way I have grown is my mental endurance. Increasing my ability to stay focus and accomplish goals I set has been empowering. Even in the midst of temptations and thing pulling at me to go the other way I was able to keep the "main thing the main thing". I hold my self accountable by writing my goals down and evaluating them everyday.]]> 2021-04-05 18:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384193001 lddavis41 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384193170 Since being in college I’ve learned a great many things about myself. I’ve also had the time to figure life out. As a transfer student from a PWI, I’ve experienced both environments. I’ve also had the opportunity to become challenged by my surroundings in both areas, which has ultimately gave me a better view on life. ]]> 2021-04-05 18:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384193170 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384195526 I feel that I have grown academically, personally, and spiritually. I have grown more in some than others, but the fact that I am growing constantly is what matters to me most. Both good and bad experiences have allowed me to grow, and this is appreciated in every lesson learned.]]> 2021-04-05 18:04:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384195526 cjstrader2002 https://padlet.com/cdrichncat/cmm4gjlgrf3zbawl/wish/1384198102 I feel like I have grown up in more ways than one.
