Want To College

I would like to attend college because I want to be successful in life, I understand it is getting harder to get a job with only a high school diploma and it is sure to get worse. My goals for the future include getting into a college with a good teaching and mathematics program, this could give me a variety of jobs and I was speaking to someone and they told me that people are looking out for women who have a degree in mathematics which will help me to obtain a good paying job.

I am going to be the first in my family to go to college which is great, I want to take my opportunities and make my parents proud that I could go when they couldn't.They've been pushing me since I started middle school to go to college. Because of this I have been preparing, I have learned to be better at time management also organization.The quote that my father always tells me “education is happiness,” I live by it, always trying to learn more. My mom works at a college and I get many opportunities to speak to counselors and tuition handlers.

I am writing to express my interest in the Program Coordinator position at Breakthrough Central Texas. I am interested in this position because I strongly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to attend college and fulfill their dreams, but I also know that the playing field is not leveled for everyone. I want to work in an environment that empowers and supports the youth to reach their full potential and this position offers that incredible opportunity.

College is a chance to further the education of most teens and adults in the modern world. Many people have the choice to enter college after high school or go later in their lives. Both of my parents made separate choices but both turned out to be very successful in their lives. College is a really tough decisions that could be beneficial in most cases because you do happen to get paid more money with a college degree. My mom chose to go to high school to continue her education in the medical field and it eventually paid off, getting out of student loans and having a lot of money to get the needs and wants of my family. My father chose to use his skills and the trades he learned to work and make money to support him and my mom, and he still continues to work using the trades he learned growing up. Both had different opinions on college and made their decisions according to the way they have been raised and their environment. Everyone’s environment and ideas is one of the largest influences in going to college because they shape every decision that you have ever made and really effect your future. My decision had been made to go to college to make my future much better

There is also the aspect that I want to go to college because it is what is expected of me. Only my mom really completed college and got a degree. On my dad’s side completing college isn’t really a big thing. Despite that, everyone from both sides of the family expects me to complete college and I want too, for them and for me. In fact, I want to do more than just complete college, I want to go on to get my masters and my doctorates to prove to myself that I can. I want to live above and beyond the expectations set before me and college is what gives me that

Entering into college, I wanted to do public health, but I wanted to be a doctor to please my father and to satisfy his hunger to have a doctor in his family. My father made sure his children went to college, and if they didn’t, it was clear they couldn’t stay in his house anymore. My parents struggled to support all of my siblings and supply each of us with everything we needed. I never realized the struggle until I got older and understood the value of money and time. My parents never wanted my brothers and I to work while we were in school, they wanted us to focus on our grades and activities that would help us get into college. Overall, the support from my family and seeing how hard my

Every since I was a child my parents always spoke about college.A dream of theirs has now become a huge goal for me, to be the first in my family to attend and graduate college. In the third grade, after getting a good grade on my tests their faces would light up and would tell me how proud they were of the intelligent young lady I was becoming and how they wanted me to make something great out of myself, but most importantly impact and change something in the community. As a little third grade girl I smiled and noded without fully grasping the meaning of what they were talking about. By the age of ten I knew what they meant and that’s how I knew that pursuing law school and becoming a lawyer is what I wanted to do with my life,

Both of my parents believed in me, which made me want to work and try so hard. They made feel like I was capable of doing so much. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them. My mom never went to college and my dad never got the opportunity to have his “college years.” I have been fortunate enough to go to school four consecutive years and be able to have my fun “college years.” Unfortunately, not everyone gets the opportunity to go to school like I can or have parents to pay for my tuition so I won’t be in debt. My parents never want me to settle for any job but I job I will actually enjoy wanting to go to. My family may have pushed me to go to college and to never take a break, but they only did that so I could be a successful individual and not have to relay on anyone else.

As a first generation student, academic promise hasn’t always been a focus of mine until my high school years. Coming from a family where the only post-high school education is whatever training you receive at work, it is hard to relate when the possibility of university is so far away. Four years after high school, I have not only worked full time but also received my associates degree from my hometown community college. That is all great thanks to the family that have raised me, and taught me that hard work is the only work capable of doing. My parents never had the opportunity to attend college, so they taught me what they knew in life instead; where manners are always required, hard work is mandatory, and when finished with that work; you

If a high school wants to go to college, a high school diploma is needed. Also, if a person does not go to college after high school, he or she is still eligible to go to college later in life. A high school diploma will help a person make more than minimum wage as well as give opportunities for raises and promotions. Students are taught to write, figure out math equations, and discipline study habits. These method will help a person in the future when he or she is presented an opportunity. For example, a person who wants a job needs to write an essay about their personality. Graduates will have the basic training on how to write the perfect essay and nail their job interviews!

I was raised by my father until I was 13 years old, he was a school bus driver and always struggled to provide for us. At 13 I went into fostercare where I fell pregnant and droped out of highschool at the age of 16. I raised my daugher on my own, I decided to go back to school to work twards my grade 12 so I could apply for college. After reciving the needed credits to apply for college. Being the first person in my family to attend college, I had to figure everything out on mu own and Being a single parent and no finacial or moral support from any family, I struggled to even come up with the $90 to apply for the "Ontario Colleges". I did my reaserch and found that due to bein a crown ward I was eligible for certian things that helped me finally

Rachel Valdez Time has gone by so fast since the time I graduated high school. Four years ago last month I was walking the stage in my yellow gown. It was a proud moment for my family; being the second to graduate high school, and the first to graduate in the top ten percent with plans to attend college in the fall. I was also very proud of myself, relieved that all the testing and college applications were over. Although I must admit I was not sure at all what I wanted to pursue a career in. What would I major in? What do I really want to? From the time I discovered a relationship with God (about my sophomore year in high school) I wanted to know, what was I made for? I always asked, hoping I would find what I was made for soon! Especially during the frustration of

Ever since I was a little girl, I have wanted to attend North Dakota State University. Both my sister and dad are NDSU alumni, so furthering my education where they did gives us something special we can share. Additionally, not many of my relatives attended college, allowing me to see the difficulties in providing for yourself and family without a college degree. Although I know the next seven years are going to be challenging, strenuous, and will push me to the edge of my comfort zone, the satisfaction of administering medical services to those who need them will make it all worth it. Not only will I be able to care for others with a Pharm. D., but my own opportunities will grow. Whenever I get discouraged during the coming years, my mantra will be “college is an investment in myself,” a reminder to keep working hard.

When I was in my junior year of high school my dad have talk to me on what college I wanted to attend. At first I was bit skeptical where I wanted to go, however I had a passion to become an air pilot, so I chose to attend Middle Georgia State. When I looked at the cost to just attend one year of school I had to figure out how I was going to pay to attend because one thing I knew for sure was that my parents were not going to pay much for it. So as my junior and senior year was going by I was applying to all these big scholarships like the Coca Cola, Dell, and even Burger King it all landed to me with losing both years. In the middle of senior year I decided to apply for local organizations but still have not obtain a scholarship of any sort.

I want to go to college not to please my community or to get a specific job, my desire to go to college concerns who I want to be. I want to be well educated, to understand the world around me, to be someone who is alway learning and growing. As a lover of history, I am inspired by the people who have come before me, people who have worked hard, showed determination, and done great things. I aspire to fill even a portion of their shoes. I have struggled for years to discover what my purpose is and what I should strive for and so far the only thing I am sure of is that I want to learn and to be always intellectually curious. My hope is that along the way of learning and working I will hit upon the thing I am supposed to do. Once that spark is
