This experience made me a better person, and will carry over into my undergraduate years of college. I am going into my freshman year bearing skills

My desire was to challenge myself and pursue my belief in life-long learning. And yes, the last eight weeks have definitely been a challenge intellectually in IDS 101. After the first two weeks of school, I seriously questioned why I would go back to school at fifty-one years of age for personal satisfaction.
