Having to decide rather or not if you are wanting to go to college can be a very hard decision. It takes time, Money and dedication from that person in order to achieve their goal. Sometimes it can be even more difficult if the person is an athlete or just even being far from home. Growing up I was never sure what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I thought about being a nurse and specializing in one of the fields. One for sure that I thought about a lot was becoming a pediatrician. The thought of getting to work with the tiny little babies all was made my face glow. One thing for sure though was I was going to play softball in college. I have been playing softball since the age of 4, that’s when my dad started me off in T-ball. While playing softball at a young age I had my moments where I didn’t want to play anymore, and my dad would ask me why and what was my thinking of the situation and my feeling. Then about an hour after the talk I was always out there playing again. When I started middle school I wanted to stop playing softball and just do strictly volleyball. My parents decided that I was not going to do it because they had invested too much time into my travel team now for softball. I decided that I would do volleyball in the fall and softball in the spring.
Going into high school it became the complete opposite, I no longer wanted to play volleyball and I wanted to become just a softball player. I realized that the sport was growing, and I wanted to
The long series of events started when I was seven years old and my parents signed me up for Bobby Sox softball. I soon grew to love the sport and came back to the organization every year until I turned ten. I stopped playing for the league and tried out for a local travel ball team and made it. I soon had a career out of playing travel ball, it was my whole life. I had been on many teams and created many memories. As I got older, I didn’t enjoy playing softball as much as I did before. I was scared to tell this my dad this because he had high hopes that I would play in college. When I told my dad that I wanted to quit softball, I learned that I need to do what makes me happy even if it disappoints people.
There are many options and paths someone can take in choosing to go to college or not but a question to ask is, is it worth it? If the decision is made to go to college then one of the first things to decide on is an area of study and then looking into where that topic of study is available, which can be a big undertaking. Some options that are out there are a four year college, community colleges and vocational or technical schools. Another option would be not going to college at all, but ask
Throughout my teenage years I loved to play baseball. I was in different clubs, organizations, and teams. My whole life was dedicated to playing ball. Then things started to change going into my freshmen year, I started to get into computers. I decided to enroll into a computer class at Franklin high school. I started to learn a lot stuff about computers and also I was pretty good at it. Also at the time I was still managing to be in baseball. Then going into my senior year I had to choses in between being in baseball or going into computers. I knew going into computers will help me get a head start in my carrier. So I chose to go into computers and quit baseball. I thought I will never have to quit baseball my whole life. It was a very big significant event in my life but good things have come with it. I got three CompTIA certifications, paid for half of my
Have you ever thought about the sport of softball? I finally did when I was right around the age of seven. I didn’t think to play right away, even my kindergarten reading buddy said that when she asked me if I would ever try softball I had a very quick response of “No”. When I was younger I had my heart set on soccer. We see how that changed quickly. Now I try and balance softball and school every night. Somehow even after 5 years of different teams I’m still balancing both.
I always loved to play softball. I was so good I skipped tee ball and when straight to the big leagues which was coach pitch. These ages were the six and seven year olds. I used to play every base and I could run like a firecracker. As I got older I picked a base to be my specialty which was second and my favorite jersey number was number one. I started softball at the age six and played all the way till I graduated from high school. Through all those years I have won many trophies and awards, for instance I made the All-County Teams and I got player of the year. When I got into high school I picked up the sports basketball and cheerleading. Once I started both it took me awhile to fall in love with basketball but cheerleading I instantly liked it. I liked cheerleading because it showed my girly side a little and I started when I was in the 10th grade. I started basketball when I was in the 7th grade and it was hard work just like softball but I had to have more self-discipline. It took me a while before I became a pro but by the 9th grade I was playing with varsity and balling like Candace Parker. Like softball by senior year I also made All-County, player of the year, and most valuable player. At every game I could always look up and my family would be there, either cheering me on or giving me tips on what to do better. Not only were sports important to me but my grades were more. I always wanted to be top of my class and have all A’s. I have always been on the honor roll ever since I could remember and wouldn’t dare miss getting my name put in the paper or getting paid by my family members, which still happens till this day. Also why in school I join the JROTC, not because I wanted to be in the Army but it was just something I was interested to do. There we went to the nursing home to sing to the elderly and we kept our campus cleaned. Also I served as
The career I had in mind to pursue throughout my life is Pediatrics. I have always wanted to work with kids and help them feel better, but what is a pediatrician you may ask? What is it that pediatricians do all day? Pediatricians Diagnose, treat, and help prevent children’s diseases and injuries. They examine children regularly to assess their growth and development and treat them with the proper medications, therapy, vaccinations, and other medical care. As well as collecting, recording, and maintaining patient information. Pediatricians can be employed anywhere from Physician’s offices to Hospitals and Clinics or even starting their own business as an
I started playing volleyball in 6th grade. My friend Abagail had wanted me to play for our school, so she would have one friend on the team. From there I wasn’t sure if I wanted to play volleyball. I had never watched volleyball and never played it either.
Many people go to college to get a further education to get the job they always dreamed of. However, deciding where to go can be tricky. Sometimes others' opinions may persuade you to decide to attend the college they want you to attend. Or the pressure of a loved one makes you decide to attend elsewhere. Perhaps though it’s the cost, but its possible to attend if you truly put your effort in. Regardless of the distance, pressure and cost, I believe you should go to the college you want.
Most high school students think about attending college at some point, but there are many factors that go into deciding that choice. Whether attending a community college or a university.

There are several health-related occupations, but the most interesting is the career of a Pediatrician. Pediatricians are the primary health care providers for infants and children . Other titles associated with this job includes, “Baby Doctor”, “Physician”, or “Pediatric”. Their main job is to treat children with illnesses, monitor their growth and health, and help prevent illnesses and diseases (General pediatrician).Additionally, pediatricians also have other job duties as well. This is an interesting career because there are other work opportunities besides being confined behind the walls of a local hospital. For example, Pediatricians can work in private offices, or travel around the world (General pediatrician).In order to pursue this career, being a Biology major will ensure that I am well-prepared for Medical School. In South Carolina, (MUSC) the Medical University of South Carolina is a distinguished Medical school for South Carolina residents to attend. After Medical School, I plan to do my residency for Mcleod hospital.

When and where to attend college is a personal decision; every one must decide what is right for him or her. Some people are quite happy to start college as soon as they finish high school. They don't waste time. Others choose to take some time off between high school and college.

A student’s decision to attend college is a personal choice that comes with personal recognition of their responsibility. Whether the student attends a two or four -year college this choice requires commitment. Commitment begins with the acceptance of personal responsibility for one’s actions, determination, and hard work. Gordon states in his article that “choosing a college is a daunting task for the graduating high school student. And considering that choices made in college shape the trajectory of the rest of your life, its significance can’t be underestimated” (Gordon Govier, 2010) College attendance is not a requirement but a gateway to a successful career if one is responsible enough to attend and complete course work to earn a degree. I feel as though being a college student is very time consuming, and I have never been so over whelmed with work in my life. There are a lot of things that you must put into view before you decide to come to any college. Everything should be sent to your school and done in a timely matter for when you get to the school of your choice you will not be lost. To be a full-time college student you must put into perspective what type of schedule you want to have and how much free time you have so you can learn to use your free time in a timely matter.
From the time I was able to walk I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I always fantasized it being game seven of the world series, with my team down three runs, the bases loaded with two outs, and I was up to bat. Of course every single time I fantasized about this, which was a lot I might add, I knocked a 400 foot home run in the left field bleachers to win the world series. I played in numerous amounts of wiffle ball games with my brother, sister, and my dad in backyard even when I was only two years old and would run the bases backwards. By the way, my family is super competitive, so there were some intense games in my backyard. Baseball has been my love since day one. The word “ball” was even my first word. I have played in probably a billion baseball games in my life and I have not regretted one second of it. I have had an amazing career playing and I am truly blessed for the ability I have been given, but I know I will never actually be able to
