Aikau Personal Statement

As far as goals, I intend on graduating from college and fulfill my aspiration of having a professional career.

I am a disabled father of 6 children, attempting to discover a way to keep up with societies rapid pace. I am educated in several vocational skills, but the visual disability I live with deters me from practicing successful employment at the labor levels of my experiences.

A college education will take me many places and open up many career opportunities for me. Without a college education, I would not be prepared for the cruel world. Going to college will help me develop the skills that are essential to be successful in this world. The motto that pushes me to get through my day is “you only get out what you put in”.

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.

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.
