Why I Want To Attend College

The answer to this question is challenging to me because having two diplomas in higher education quite challenging to answer “Why do you want to go to college?” Trying to apply this question to the UoPeople and paraphrasing it as “Why do you want to go to the UoPeople,” I meet another issue. I have already responded to this question in the Discussion Forum.

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.

Media surrounds us, from the graphic design on our morning cellophane coffee cups, to the carefully designed spreads in the magazines we religiously read. The world of Media and Film is beautifully complex, and something which I strongly want to be involved with. I have always immersed myself in the world of Media, and have only ever felt truly satisfied when I’ve been involved in broadening my knowledge and understanding of the industry.

The Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) is a very helpful program for me to become involved in, especially since I plan on going to college after high school to better my education and to shape my future. Since RAHI is at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and I am attending UAF in the fall this year, majoring in Geoscience, it will help me get the feel of college and give me the experience I need. This program is something that interests me a lot and I will get to meet new people who I might be going to college with.

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

I have committed myself to pursuing my undergraduate degree because I am completely aware of the importance of education. I am also a proud first generation college student determined to succeed, undeterred by my circumstances as an adolescent. I didn’t have a typical childhood. My mother was an alcoholic who also struggled severely with drug addiction. Unfortunately, her dependence led her into a cycle of domestic violence, jail, and many failed treatment attempts. Her choices preceded her absence for the majority of my life. From my knowledge, she didn’t even attain a high school diploma. My father was always present in my life. He raised my brother and me without the help of a significant other. He always emphasized education so he put me through private schooling.

I feel like everyone deserves the right to higher education, no matter their family’s economic standing. This is how we can help facilitate economic flourish in our country. Those who are hardworking, passionate, motivate, and driven should get equal chance to make a difference in the world. And I believe that I am one of those students. In high school, I spent the summers working two jobs to help my family pay bills and during the school year, I was given the great opportunity to be Editor in Chief of my school’s newspaper, star in numerous theatrical productions, be a part of three honor societies, and push myself in Advance Placement and honors classes. I knew what I wanted and I knew what needed to be done: I wanted to get a chance to learn at one of top

From a young age, I’ve always known I wanted to attend college. To pursue what intrigues me and to study what I’m passionate about sounds like an opportunity I just cannot pass up. I have always enjoyed going to school and learning new subjects year after year, each year, giving a deeper understanding of the topics given to me. College would assist in broadening my horizons, finding new experiences, and deepening my roots in education.

Education sits at the core of human existence; without it, we would not be able to accomplish our simplest goals, but with it, the options are limitless. My mother always told me that "education is the best gift you can give someone," which is where the foundation of my pursuit to give all individuals the gift of scholarship sprouted. Growing up as a female in America, I never understood the importance of education until I became aware of an organization known as She's the First (STF), which enables young, uneducated women from different countries to have the same opportunities that we take for granted. Though I am fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to attend exceptional schools throughout my life. Many women in different countries cannot say the same.

While I have been raised in an environment where all the resources I needed to attend college were available to me, I believe my greatest accomplishment is being accepted into a California University and doing well. After graduating high school, my parents informed me that they would not be able to afford a four year university, and that I would have to attend Junior College first. I was completely devastated. All of my peers were attending four year colleges right out of high school, and I was left behind. I developed an extreme depression that I didn't think I would be able to escape from. I realized though, that if I worked hard enough and did well, I would be attending a University in no time. I pushed through my depression, worked hard

What do I do? How do I know I won’t make the wrong decision? What if I hate it…? These questions are asked by every senior in high school contemplating where to attend college next fall. With so many options out there, what’s the right option for you? Big school, small school, liberal arts school, etc. How do I choose? How do you choose… Michigan State University or Central Michigan University, two amazing options, what do I choose.

First of all hello, I’m currently a high school senior planning to attend college in the fall. Goals are described as an aim or a desired result, but they're more than that, they can change a person's life. A goal gives a person hope for the future. Right now I’m going to graduate from high school and the next huge step I’ll take is go to college. Continuing my education and becoming successful in my profession. Being able to cross off my goals one by one

Why am I attending college? As a high school senior, I’m beginning to look at what life will be like outside of high school. Once I’m out of high school, I have two major choices that I can choose from; to continue to higher education, which means going to a college or university, or to start working and planning my life right away. Different people will have different choices of their own, but I believe attending a college or university is the best fit for me to pursue my choice of career, to experience new things, and to contribute to my future family.

In this essay I am going to take a look at what should be done in terms of getting ready for college as well as when and how. I will also look at when you should be getting ready for college. I mean like at what age they should decide whether they want to go to college or not. Another thing I will look at is whether a student wishes to go to college or not. What I mean by this is that if the student will decide whether he/she wants to enter college or just go straight to their dream job. I will examine also if the student wishes to go into the working field straight after high school or not. I mean that should he/she want to go to their dream job and apply after they get out of high school. I will also show how a student might want to go straight into the working field before going to college. I mean that maybe a student wants to save money by working so they can go to college. These are the thing that I will show how a student is affected by these things.

Imagine one day having it all, a big house, nice vehicle, savings toward college and suddenly, a tragedy hits and you lose it all. My mother became unemployed after 10 years on her job. We lost our home, and was forced to use my college funds in order to survive.
