Why I Want To Attend College

Dreams are shaped by ideals and families shape the beliefs we grasp so strongly. Someday I want to change lives through an engineering career. My family has taught me that change can be positive and that change is the law of life. I hope to improve my life as well as the lives of others around me by creating something wonderful.

I am not a traditional student applying for a chance to study at your college. I am not here right after graduation from high school nor am I trying to change careers. I am here to begin a career after more than 15 years out of high school, with life experiences in a country that has become my home, half way across the world from where I started my journey.

Without a doubt, I can truly say that the reason I want to go to college is because I will not only be challenged academically but intellectually as well. For the period of time you spend in college, you're exposed to many different ideas and people. Some of the things I hope to gain from college besides an excellent path to a career, is an unforgettable educational experience, memorable moments, and meeting new people. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries and live overseas. Travelling has opened my eyes to a whole new world of cultures, beliefs, ideas, and people. In college, I will have the opportunity to interact with people from all around the world that share the same interests as me, when going into the fascinating

When some students near the end of their high school career they know where they want to go to college in the future, unlike those students, I am not fully sure where I would like to attend after I graduate from high school. Although I have looked at a few different colleges in New York, as well as some in surrounding states, I have not narrowed it down to one specific college, however I know what my end goal will be. I want to become either a network administrator or a systems administrator, for a fairly large size company in a decently sized location. One college I have been looking into recently has been CUNY Brooklyn City Tech, like the name suggests this college is located in Brooklyn. At CUNY City Tech I want to go into the computer systems degree program with a specialization in Network and Security, this degree will greatly help advance me towards my

My father retired one year ago, and It has been difficult for my two other siblings In MED school. College tuition took a big part of my family’s usual conversation, I grew up knowing that there will be a problem with me attending college, and that my family could probably not afford it. My family gives me great support, and they are working hard to try and start paying for not only one or two but for three college tuitions.

Do more. As all do, I realized I was wrong, particularly about doing more in school. I thought I didn't need to do everything, or even a little, in school. Extracurricular activities outside of my immediate interests (which were limited) and abilities (which were nonexistent) seemed unnecessary for my future and outside my comfort zone. Now in my senior year, I have come to the realization that I should have gone above and beyond to not only improve myself but also my chances at more opportunities.

Anyone can go to college and get an education. But a Christian needs to be aware of the world’s influences. Where you go to college will influence how you will live your life.

I’m attending Dalton State College to increase my potential on my everyday life. I want better job opportunities for me to provide for my family and me. I want to earn more money because those who don’t go to college don't really earn a lot of money than an average college student. I want my knowledge skills to expand so I will make more wise decisions and think critically better. Also I want to really live a better lifestyle than my past. My motivations for coming here are to really make my mother proud. Also from being the first person in my family to go to college had really made my mother proud of me as well as my family.

My determination to graduate and be successful is inevitable, but financially, I need assistance. Day in and day out I strive to be perseverant. No matter if it's in academics, my relationships or hobbies, I'll keep working until I finish what I started. If I want to accomplish something, I don't quit until I'm done, even if it gets challenging. My family’s financial hardships have resulted in me having to work as soon as I was able to. My education and academic success are two of the most important things to me right now. I have traveled a bumpy road to get where I am today, but those obstacles gave me strength and helped me appreciate the truly important things in life.

Born in New York, but grown in the South, the city-life, full of culture, has been something I have sought after in each college I have attended. From Panama City Beach, Florida, to Mitchell, South Dakota and then to Atlanta, Georgia, each one of these cities have lacked the cultural and diverse environment that I so desperately seek to mesh with my Puerto Rican and Greek background. Each move was in pursuit of my collegiate soccer career, the dream I initially thought would carry me through my four years as an undergraduate. Inspired yet confused by so many transitions and new surroundings with each transfer, I made a year-long endeavor to Quito, Ecuador. It was here I opened my mind and truly found myself as well as what path my life was

What do you plan on going to college for? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? These questions suffocate me with the thoughts, questions and fears that I have for the future. Even in school, preparing for college and applying for school is talked about, when you walk in those doors for the first time freshman year. At this point in senior year, I focus on what is going to happen next too often. I neglect to stop and breathe for a second. Luckily, my best friend, Reagan took me on a spontaneous trip to Boston, where I was able to clear my head and be in the moment. As the shotgun rider it was my duty to be the disk jockey for the ride. From Frank Sinatra to Beyonce our playlist ranged from every genre of music. As we slowed down

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.

It is important to have an academic goal set before going into school. In fact, I already have set objectives for this course. One of my academic goals is to stay positive throughout this course. This will help me pass all of my classes, which will result in getting my degree. My daughter, Adelynn, has motivated me to accomplish many things in life, such as graduate high school and go to college to get my Associates Degree in Allied Health Science. At only two months of age, Addy is my main source of motivation, although, I have many people supporting me and motivating me. She is both my intrinsic motivation as well as my extrinsic motivation. By getting my degree, I will set a good example of success in hopes that she will follow. I will

Denver, Colorado, the mile high city. I was born and raised here along with most of my close and extended family. I love it here so I see no reason to go to college out of state or far away from the place I call my home. I guess you could say that I had a pretty average upbringing. My wonderful parents raised me and showered me with love and affection, and my older brother Jeffrey picked on me just as older brothers should. Growing up, religion was always a big part of what influenced me and the decisions that I made. I am a Christian, and the beliefs and lessons that are found in the Bible and in the religion itself was made known and taught to me starting from a very early age. It is also something that helped me very much later on when I went through a very difficult time.

In my senior years, I volunteered at an NGO called In Arms Reach, which focuses on kids whose parents are incarcerated. The program’s motto is, “Every child deserves a chance”. I tutored in the after-school program and conduct workshops on life skills. I assisted in piloting one program called “We are all going to college”. The aim of the program is to give the students a practical experience of what it feels like to walk through the doors of college and to educate them on the requirements that are needed in order to apply and be accepted to that college. As a mentor, I encourage them to set goals for a college of their choice, and I use it to push them to reach for the sky. Having stronger leadership skills will give me the ability to push
