Entering College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UCLABy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

The beginning of college was a great transition for me, knowing that I was moving to a completely new city. Not only because it was going to be a new and different environment but also because I was going to be seven hours away from my family, who have always supported me and cheered me…

Me Time, Difficult classes and History

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

That has not stopped me from looking at this as a lesson that will help me understand that you will always need to ask for help even though you think you know everything. Personally…

Loving College

Chico State, Class of 2018, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

I absolutely loved my first semester of college. I meet many new people and got involved in new activities. I actually never got home sick, which is a great thing. I enjoy living alone and cooking for myself. I eat so much healthier now! Another thing I enjoyed was able to manage my time. I…
