The pursuit of attending college has been a personal desire and goal for as long as I can remember. While maintaining a rigorous academic course load, I also had a passion for excelling in my music endeavors. My superior GPA and yearly testing scores broadened my career choices but made it difficult to discern whether I wanted to pursue something in the field of medicine, education, or music. The academics, experiences, and activities that I have been involved with throughout my life, definitely have shaped and encouraged me to think deeper about what it is that I would truly love to excel in on the college level and pursue as a life-long career.

The school in which I started my schooling was also in a refugee camp. We didn’t have enough financial help to have all the things that we needed. We had to depend upon the support we got from the agencies. When we arrived in the United States, we got a lot of assistance from different agencies. I also got chance to attend school again. But, my family is composed of five members. My parents have to look after the education of the three of us. They do not have a lot monetary resources to fulfill my desire to go to college. I had nagging feeling that college was a dream that won't come true

I know exactly what I want to be become. I want to become one of the greats, and discover things that could change someone’s entire life. I do not want to go into medicine for the money, or even the praise that would come along with being titled a neurosurgeon. I have decided to pursue medicine because I know that it will continually challenge me and push me past my limits.

In the eighth grade, I didn't really ever want to pay attention and to listen to a teacher who´s talking about atoms and molecular molecules. I was a teenage girl who was mostly focused on boys, clothes, and other stuff that would capture my attention. I didn't want to do math equations, I wanted to gossip about who was dating whom and when. I didn't want to study, I wanted to watch movies and tv shows. The only time I admired school was lunchtime because it was where my friends were and you didn´t have to do work.

Throughout my high school career, I had the goal to graduate and then attend college. For a large part of my four years in high school, I was unsure as to what type of undergraduate program I wanted to be in. Nevertheless, I continued to work hard in all my classes. My motivation to do well in school was not only fueled by my goal of achieving a respectable GPA, but also my thirst to gain a vast amount of knowledge. I took a wide variety of classes within my high school career, only narrowing my classes to gear towards my chosen college major during my senior year. I took what I learned in high school to springboard me into college.

College- the most wonderful place to be. They tell you college is where you meet the people you are going to spend the rest of your life with. It is also the place where you are driven insane with a load of school work, a sport, and a job. I am in college because both of my parent went to college. I never knew it was an option not to go to college, until I was already here. Now that I have been sucked in to four or eight more years of education, I have set several goals: to keep the highest GPA that I can manage, to have a full course load each semester, to graduate with a degree that I am both proud of and am interested in, and to make memories that will last me a lifetime.

The three things that initially motivated me to start college more than anything else were my children, myself, and my siblings. My children are my main motivation and reasons I decided to start college. They have been my driving force behind everything or goal I have set for myself. I myself love a challenge and, always try to convince myself that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. In addition I would say is my siblings. They have not always been helpful of me whenever it came to my goals. They never thought I could go any further than high school.

College for many young adults is a time of growth. Kids become adults, teenagers learn how to live on their own, and students pave their own path for the future by gaining precious knowledge. However, college for me has been not only a new chapter in my life but a new book, altogether. Before I was in college, I was wasting away at a part-time job, depressed and suicidal. College has given me a purpose and a future. At first, I was extremely nervous and ridged when I attended my first semester of college. Now, I look forward to attending class and working on assignments. Because of college, I’ve become aware of what I’ve been missing out on, what I can accomplish if I put my mind to it, and meeting new people.

At the start of junior my year of high school I suddenly realized that if I wanted to achieve my future goals, I was going to have to start working diligently immediately. I distinctly remember coming home after school on typical Wednesday and passing out on my bed exhausted from the demanding work load ahead. At that moment I decided to stop feeling complacent. I made a commitment to myself that I would finish the school year with straight As. Although, there were a lot of late nights where I pondered if my efforts were worthwhile, I pushed through knowing I could be successful.

A young man that I met a while ago is the reason I want to further my career. Before knowing that I truly had a purpose in life, I had absolutely no desire to go to college, but I realized something; I need to be able to keep the people I care about happy and healthy. The only way to really do that is love and money. The young man has helped me more than therapists ever have, and more than medicine ever could. I have many problems, depression and anxiety are the biggest ones though, I go day by day terrified that something awful is going to happen, and my life is going to fall apart. Now though? After all of my life experiences I finally have the courage to do what I never thought I could. Go to college. My family has had many struggles with

Neither my grandmother, nor any of my great aunts, went on to college.  It was too expensive for their family.  My great Aunt Nancy, however, did try to take night classes at the University Extension, which was held at her high school.  Unfortunately, she was unable to continue paying for these classes, so she left the University Extension program with only twelve credits earned. Aunt Nancy just continued to work at the job she acquired, right out of high school, and work her way up through the ranks at this job.  There was no push by her parents to continue her education, and therefore, there was no pressure on her to attend college.  Aunt Nancy had once told me, "There is great value in a college

College is something I have always been confused about, I’ve been told growing up that I HAVE to go to college but I never knew what I wanted to go for. Knowing that I was going to go to college no matter what actually made me not think about it as much. I've always had the mindset of just worrying about college when I actually get there. When it was time for me to go to college I was still confused on how I wanted to go about it, I didn't know what I wanted to do at all so I had very little expectations for it. Being so confused about something makes me not know what to expect and that's how I felt about college. However i've always had two main expectations that never went away and I still expect from attending college, no matter what I do or where I go. Those two expectations are to find out what career I want and graduate with a degree for that career, and secondly to gain a mass amount of knowledge by the time i'm done with it all and graduated.
