A significant educational opportunity that was offered to me during my High School career is a job working at Warehouse Shoe Sale or WSS. My experience working there helped me to face responsibility and enabled me to realize that I have excellent skills in following directions and completing tasks. Prior to working, I didn't know if I was even going to be able finish high school, let alone get a job. My job experience, however, made me think differently. Being able to witness people at work, who were not as smart as I am, who were making more money than me, really opened my eyes. I realized that if I put my mind to it, I could be successful and earn a lot of money. The job experience influenced me to finish high school, as well as provided me the inspiration to continue on and attend college. Attending a University will provide me with the training I will need to eventually obtain my dream job. Additionally, I will have a degree and be able to ensure a better and brighter future for myself and my family. Luck surely shined upon me when I was offered this job experience in high school! Not only was I able to make a little money, I learned so much more than just being efficient at a job.

Whether you attend college or go immediately into the workforce, many recognize the amazing opportunities college has to offer its students. In high school, high school opens doors for college. In college, college unlocks opportunities for your future. Statics show that past graduates who obtain a college diploma can get a job, maintain their jobs, and they get paid more than someone who did not attend or finish school. Also, well paying jobs tend to take care of their employees. For example, higher paying jobs give their employees more benefits and vacation time: to stay healthy and well-rested. So they perform better on the job. Low paying jobs do not have to have many benefits because, they can replace employees at their leisure. Those who do not fulfill their education requirements, always have to settle for second place to someone who did spend the time to be experienced and qualified with a degree.

If there has been some obstacle or bump in the road in your academic or personal life, please explain the circumstances.
