I learned a lot by attending college , therefore I cannot complain about some of my instructors. I must admit I had a few who appearred to be there just for a pay check, but for the most part they were not that bad. My department advisor was a waste of my time. He truly did not support me or believe in me. There were other instructor?s who did believe in me and there was one in particiular that left a very strong impression on me; Dr. Lawrence. He could be tough, but he was fair. He challenged our mental capacity and force us to think outside the "box"?he did not ?blow smoke,? up our back ends. I appreciated Dr. Lawrence for being hard on us, not given us an inch, but making us earn it. He was always there for support and when you left his class, his office, or the lab following a project or exam; you knew that you came out a little more knowledgeable, regardless of the grade that was earned. So I cannot say that ECSU hurt me at all.

I think that I could have been better prepared if most instructors were on the same page in regards to preparing the students for the harsh reality of the real world. There could have been more lessions plans focusing on current job applications and practicies.

My recommendation to H.S or college students is to enjoy your time in college but take your time there seriously. Earn the best grades possible, go that extra mile to achieve the best that you can; other works maximize your education opportunities.
