University You need a more interesting title

I always thought that college is a place where efforts are a thing of every day, a place where responsibility is the main factor to consider; but since I have studied nearly four years I see that it is not entirely true. I thought that the attitude of those who study at a “university level” might reflect responsibility and effort; also, that the academic level would exceed the level of a school; moreover, that teachers would be more rigorous when enrage and qualify, opposing college.

I always thought that when a person goes to university is because he or she wants to exploit their potential, and absorb if possible, all the knowledge available. For that reason, I thought that the way that my classmates would face the responsibility of studying and homework would be the priority, but many do not give their best effort, in fact, lot of them will only seek to make the slightest effort; that's why I think a large group of students would regard this process as vague, and they had to react and concern to seize this opportunity to study, or they will regret it.

Since I was very little, I got the idea that the academic level of the universities was exceptionally high; and the only way to cross it might be with a lot of effort and dedication. So it doesn’t mater matter how many times does do some people had to repeat a class, because the priority would be to really get to know and assimilate the principles of the course. In contrast, I had found that the level actually required sometimes from university, is not the best in order to help develop the students' potential. I think that many of the projects demanded from us, fail on quality, “university quality”; because some average or even mediocre projects have being accepted by teachers, with low scores; and the sad thing is that very few are rejected. From my point of view, it is need to require more from students; as a way that we are trained to solve future problems and to achieve better professionals than previous generations; this can be done by developing on students the necessity of including quality on everything they do or try.

My father told me that the universities on his time, were very demanding and that the best teachers were the most rigorous to qualify; because for them, the fact that you strive to the extreme to get a good grade, will push you on your way to learn more. I thought that teachers on universities would be much more demanding than previous education levels, such as school; but never thought to find that each teacher has their own way to teach, and reach students (develop skills or train them) in unique ways; as an example, there are some methods such as games, to teach you by physical process as commonly happens in nature, while others immerse you past the Renaissance where artists lived and created their majestic paintings just by a perform; such methods, so efficiently applied, had prove that work as well.

Being at university is a facet that many people has to cross, the speculation of how it will be; how difficult it will be; which teachers will be rigorous, and which ones will be not; by the end it all will not matter, what will matter is how you take this experience to get the most benefit. Profit achieved will be yours if you focus the effort on your responsibilities and seek the positive opportunities that come your way.
