Picture myself four years from now. What do I have expected to learn from my years in college?

     Four years from now seems like a long way away however it’s just around the corner.  A lot can happen within four years that can change my career path and life as a whole.  While in college you could make fatal decisions that could affect you for the rest of your life.  However during this time span I believe I will have learned how to fight adversity, have broadened my knowledge of the many different types of people there are in the world, and most importantly how to become an owner of a business.
     I believe I can use my time in college as a tool to learn how to fight through adversity later in my life.  There are many obstacles that I will have to push through during my time at college in order to graduate.  These could include anything from getting up for an eight o’clock class to walking through inclimate weather to get to class. I have to be able to jump these hurdles in order to graduate.  Being able to fight through adversity I am sure is a quality that I will need to show when I am trying to get my first job after college.                                                                                                                     
     Four years into the future, I also expect to have broadened my knowledge of different types of people there are in the world. I have the opportunity to be living with roommates from different counties, states, and even countries during my time in college.  Sharing a dorm with these different types of people, will teach me how people other than me live and how I can cooperate with them.  As stated before this can be a quality that can be used while trying to get into the workforce after college.
     Finally, throughout my four years of college I expect to have learned how to become a savvy business owner.  I want to major in business, so hopefully the classes that I will have to take will prepare me best to become a great business owner. I have already learned the basics of becoming a business owner in my first semester of eight, but I hope to have learned so much throughout my years of college.
