It's been only 3 months in my first college and already I am under tons of stress. It makes me realize that if you really don't have a goal or something to strive for when you come to college then you'll probably drop out quick.
As time goes by I'm learning more about my tiny school. The fact still remains that I never even heard of this place until I saw it for myself. Even though this school may look like any normal school, you can be quickly deceived as I was when I started attending. It turns out that my school has a huge reputation as a very successful school for engineering. Wikipedia stated that "currently, it is a leader in telecommunications, information science and technology management."
The job fair a few days ago also caught my attention as well. I was clearly wrong about my school when I saw the amount of people from places that came to my school just to recruit students to work for their company. Then I found out that the school has ways of working with students in setting up people with high class jobs as early as their sophmore year. It makes me wonder if I should even transfer despite the large tuition. In my freshman year I already stepped off on the right foot by joining the National Society for Black Engineers (NSBE) because those people work with you even more then my school and gives me the opportunity to meet alot of people. It's just a way of getting your face out there.
Quite a few people are trying to encourage me to enter an HBCU but it makes me wonder if my opportunities would be as broad there as they are now.
