Why I Chose To Go To College

Six years after graduating High School, I have finally decided to pursue a college education. Three, fairly common, factors played in to my decision to go back to school: learning new things, building confidence in myself and pursuing my desired career. I understand that graduating college is a difficult task, which is why I must make a plan for my success and stick to it. I must also rely on my personal strengths and my motivation to guide me through the tough times that I am sure to experience on my road to success to get my degree in Criminal Justice. I have always been a person who is eager to learn new things.

Why did I decide to attend college? I chose this path for my life when I was very young, both of my parents attended some form of higher education. They both ended up living fairly well, I decided that I wanted to be successful in life as well and that going to college would be an integral part of my future. I want to be able to live in comfort; be able to be a productive member of my community still, become an adult, and be able to understand things in a new light.

There was many reasons why I decide to attend college. I am extremely tired of applying for distinctive positions and being rejected for not having a degree. I'm a supervisor now over thirty employees when I see different positions opening in management or higher position. I apply on behalf of the job, gain being interviewed for my experience. Nevertheless, not having a college degree really afflicts me. As a result, I decided to attend college and further my education.

As my senior year began I was currently enrolling into different colleges, Canisius College being one of them. Alot of questions were asked while enrolling such as, why would I be a good fit to the college, what are my interest, and of course what would be my preference in major. I was undecided and overwhelmed. I constantly changed my choice and told individuals different majors I could be interested in. Each day I enrolled into a new school, my major would be different, one day I would be into law, the next day forensics, the next week psychology, and then dentistry. Two different motivations that pushed me towards my major in adolescent education was my National Honor Society advisor and my favorite movie “Freedom Writers.”

I graduated college in 2012 and have since adopted the city of Rochester as my home. My partner and I committed ourselves to this community last year when we bought a home downtown. I am intent on picking a career that is worth dedicating my life to and that will benefit others in my new community. The discipline in which I earned my Bachelor’s degree leads to a shallow career path that wouldn't benefit others in any fundamental way. I am only now redirecting my career and volunteering as a literacy tutor has been a rewarding first step. I became a tutor because of an awareness I gained while learning Italian as a second language and participating in a language immersion study abroad program where I lived and worked in Italy for six weeks and

I am Jhanine Senior. My family and I are two year migrants from Jamaica. Our American benefactor, my grandmother, is a forty year US resident and pre-eminent house keeper and child care giver. After a month assisting grandmother, I moved from a house worker and baby sitter to a Receptionist at a Management Consulting firm. The US immigration appointment dates are supreme; therefore, I left Moneague College in the mid spring semester for my new life in America with my highly coveted green card, social security number, a new Madison - New Jersey address. Getting enrolled in the County College of Morris (CCM) was my first American developmental move. I was determined for my re -start in America to bring success – an education, a business, and a life of social service.

One of the biggest decisions that I have made in my life has been where to go to college. Our counselors were telling us from the tenth grade to have our colleges picked out and start doing well on the SATs. I knew even from that age I wanted to go into engineering, I loved to work with my hands and always wanted to help build new things. I did not know at the time which type of engineering or which school that I wanted to go into.

I am still trying to figure out is how I will pay for college and therefore am not sure what I need the my financial aid package to look like in order for me to be able to attend Lycoming. While I hope to collect the money I have earned from working during high school, I do not know if I will have access to this when I move out.

As a child I have always wanted to go to college and make something of myself. One of the reasons for this, is I have the possibility to be the first person in my extended family to successfully finish college. While I’m here my main goal will be to keep a 4.0 and staying unstressed. This way I can come up with techniques to keep my GPA up and my stress levels down for the rest of my college career. Though I feel I’ll stay fairly relaxed due to many of my classes being focused around business, which is my major and one of my favorite subjects in school. I plan to pursue a business administration degree, which will take me 4 years to acquire. When I get this degree I want to use it so I can work in a finance bank or a regular bank, but as long as I am able to work with finances I’ll be happy. This is why I am here in college and my plan for the years to come.

There are some reasons why I have decided to go to college: first to develop myself, second to acquire new skills and experiences in my intellectual and educational level, third to get more job opportunities. As is known, education opens many prospects in the areas of work and life, in addition, my ambitions, my dreams and my goals which I seek in my life can only be achieved through college study.

Furthering my education is everything. College is scary for some and for others it’s the best time of their lives. I know that college will be a great experience in my life and the money spent there will pay off in the long run. There’s only one reason to go to college and that is for an education. The field of study I am looking to become educated in is involved in engineering. There are four major branches of engineering: civil, mechanical, chemical, and electrical. I, with the help of my mother, have decided that the branch that fits me the best is chemical engineering. The career path in chemical engineering that I am looking into is biomedical engineering (according to Wichita State University), or otherwise known as biological systems engineering (according to University Nebraska-Lincoln). This type of engineering deals with the designing of medical instruments, such as prosthetics, which I think

It's never to soon to start looking into colleges. I am only a freshman in highschool, and I already have my four main colleges I want to apply for in order. You have to be prepared for anything so you have your top choices and the next best. College is the time for you to finally leave home and grow up. You’ll need the perfect one for your job and the way you want to live you life.

When I graduate from St. Joseph high school I would like to go to college and attend Michigan State University to play football. After college, I would hope to go the NFL and play for a team even though my family wants me to go to the New Orleans Saints. When or if I make it to the NFL the first thing I am going to do when I get my first check I'm gonna buy a mansion. Second, buy my mom her own mansion somewhere private and probably her own island. Then I will hire people to make a complex for my whole family to live in. I want to have 1 son and one daughter and a beagle (dog). I want my son to be either an Nfl, NBA, or track star. And my daughter to be an actress, singer, dancer, WNBA, gymnast, or track star. If my dream as an NFL star doesn’t

I have many reasons for going to college, I’m going to college because I want to make my family proud and I want to be a leader for my younger siblings and cousins. Another reason is I want to be successful in life and go places, I also want to come back and help my people and culture. I’m taking on college because I want to travel the world and go places, maybe there could be people around the world who need help, the forest or environment and there could be a possibility I could help them. I’m the first person in my family to go to college and I plan on graduating and going to other colleges or Universities. My parents got as far as high school then got pregnant with me, my grandma dropped out in high school also, my grandpa and uncle were the only ones that completed high school. Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of pressure on me sometimes because I have a lot of people and family members watching me and looking up to me. Everyone tells kids “look at MacKayla if she can do it, you can” so I’m

Ever since I came up to middle school, I have forever dreamed of heading to college. My dad and sister would talk about their enjoyable and exciting experience, and I was intrigued by the stories they would tell me. My sister would share with me how she met all these new people and made tons of new friends that she still has relations with today. I wasn't to be able to meet all the vast cultures that are at a college and to learn different ways of thinking and living.
