College has obstacles; however, I hear adults claiming our age group ought to enjoy this time of our lives, but the adults make me question “why?” I wonder “what makes this time so great.” Personally, I look forward to the time after college when I start my career. I know the “real world” has obstacles, but with a completed education I will not have to worry about classes, loads of homework, and work.

My goals for college is to graduate on the Dean’s List, and becoming active in my community; My goals after college is to be able to operate several small businesses, take care of my family, give back to my community, and buy my mom a house.
