Officially a Blue Devil

The biggest thing I have learned from my first year of college is how to learn and teach myself. In my situation, I am thousands of miles away from my home and family. When you run into a stumbling block there is no time to get depressed and look around for help. I am on…

First Part of the Race Completed

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJuly 1, 2013

Throughout my first year of college, I learned several lessons. I would have to say that the most important lessons were the academic ones. The difference in the difficulty level from high school to college is quite noticeable, especially when transitioning into the fast-paced quarter system. At first, I believed that my studying habits were…

My Freshmen year at UC Davis finally came to an end. It was a very exciting but tiring experience. Throughout the course of a year, I feel like I learned much more than I did in four years of high school. College life was much more challenging than I expected. At first, I was blown…

First Year of College Completed

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffJuly 1, 2013

After completing my first year in college I can say I have learned a lot during my first year in college. I learned a lot by taking different courses that were interesting to me as well as how to manage my time. I was able to learn about my academic interests by taking classes that…

The End of my Freshman Year

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJune 20, 2013

One of the greatest things I learned at UC Davis was to seek help whenever I did not understand something. Looking back at Fall quarter, if I would have used all the academic resources that UC Davis offered, my grades would have been better. In my first year of college, I learned to take responsibility…

My First Year

Fall of 2012 is where it all began, new adventures, new people and new experiences. I experienced many achievements as well as failures, but never did I give up.  As my first year of college proceeded, I learned to organize myself. Organization was a struggle for me, not only was I procrastinating but I also…

Metamorphosis

Class of 2016, Mills College, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffMay 15, 2013

When people think of Oakland, they think of a city with a never ending plague of violence. Living in Oakland, I learned that it was much more than that. Although some people weigh the bad over the good, Oakland also has a beautiful, rich culture lurking in every different corner, and people full of life,…
