Aikau Personal Statement

no longer have to balance a job to pay living expenses, college fees, books, and other materials

The desire to reach a goal is certainly one of the most powerful feelings a human being can experience. Wanting something so badly that can taste it, so badly that it is the only thing on your mind, and desiring something so much that you feel you would do absolutely anything to get it. But wanting something just isn’t enough. People have to be persistent to get something they truly want. And Saba from Dust Lands-

As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career. Growing up, my father has always worked minimum paying jobs and living for paycheck to paycheck, while my mother has always been a housewife. Whenever it came to school, my parents encouraged me to do my best in my studies.

A college degree is important for a variety of reasons for both the young and the old, namely to develop or improve one’s trade skills, to experience different cultures and to increase one’s educational background in order to attain a higher paying job. For me, a college degree is important because it will help me to attain the educational background I need to make myself more marketable in the ever changing workforce. It will also provide me with the confidence and skills needed to apply for a better paying job or aid me in attaining the ever elusive promotion, if I so desire.

Further, a college graduate also has better options and opportunities to progress in their career.

So yes i want to go to college so I can have a better future for me and my family. I would have finished my goal set and life would get easier for me and it's possible if I put my mind itn it. I won't give up I won't drop out I would love to make my mother happy and i'll be able to support

By going to college I could conquer my dream of changing the world, whether by finding a new way of producing electricity in third world countries or finding a way to increase efficiency of factories here in the homeland.

given anything to just feel happy and content. Looking back, however, I would not trade in those emotionally taxing moments for

Another reason for why I think college will help me in my future is pursuing a career. I was so glad to be accepted into Thomas More because I knew that they had my major. Therefore, because of choosing

I would like to attend college to make a statement. When I was in middle school and my freshmen year of high school, I was not the most educated person. I want to go to college to make a career out of my self. I want to make an impact on this world when I grow up.

When I was maybe around 8 years old, I dreamed constantly of going to college. I wanted the entire experience; the dorms, the parties, the activities on the campus, and club. Never thought it would be something that actually helped me. Now, sitting here 20 years later I realize the frame of mind wasn't there. So if i could go back to then and change that "attitude" i had about school and what it could mean for not just me but my career, my family and my personal knowledge; I would.

In today’s world, I feel a college education is crucial and offers so much to a young person starting their next step in life. Education opens up doors by allowing more choices and opportunities by choosing what you are interested in and starting in that career path. Education exposes you to a variety of people and experiences you might not get otherwise. Education can expand your mind by allowing you to achieve better knowledge and skills to obtain in life. Education can also give you a great sense of security and respect throughout your entire life. These are all reasons why I want to go to college. My career goal is to attend a 4-year college and obtain my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I would then like to continue on in a Master’s

The benefits of a college degree are getting a good job. Also being able to support yourself, and maybe a family one day. When you put in as much time as you’re likely going to in building a career, it’s important that you choose something you can perform well and enjoy. By learning about each of your many options and making yourself aware of your choices, you will increase your chances of being more satisfied with your career later in life. The more formal education you have, the more confident you will be. But one of the key benefits of a college degree is the unique bonds which are developed in a person’s life.

The benefits of a college degree are not just for money, but also a college degree will also give a person more career options. A person with a college degree will have more career options than someone without a college degree because employers will see that one has a college degree and think that person knows what to do and can do the job well. Employers want the best person for the job and a college degree looks really good on a person’s resume (Ten Great…). In a survey that was casted to see what employers look for, those employers said that they wanted people that have dependability, reliability, a good attitude, the ability to read comfortably, the ability to think more consciously, computer skills, and the ability to communicate clearly whether it be spoken or in writing (Knowledge and…). Along the path of getting a college degree, one will also learn these skills and attributes.

<br>Christmas on 1997 my family and I went to The Banquet which is a local food provider for the less fortunate in Sioux Falls. Being thrilled about this certain project my mom decided we should do was not quiet my attitude. I didn't want to spend Christmas in a dusty old high school serving food to people. Why could we just be normal and stay home with family. But despite all my protest it was set and we were going.
