Why I Want To Attend 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.

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.

Sunday comes again, and it's finally time to continue the weekly interviews with my grandpa. Before we began the interview, he showed me an in-depth family tree that a relative of ours had put together for our family. Being the tech savvy person that I am, I show him how to navigate around the application of our family tree. Then we began talking about our topic, fear.

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

After graduation, I want to attend either Bradley university, Lewis university, or University of Illinois at Chicago with intentions of receiving my bachelors degree in either mechanical or civil engineering. I have intentions to attend college for the sake of my future and my family. Being the first one from my clan to attend college would surely make the trials and tribulations both my parents undergo worthwhile. It would be helpful for me knowing that I would not have to live such a difficult live like my father, who lives paycheck to paycheck every week. I hope to make attending college possible by raising as much money dedicated towards my education so that my student debt does not overwhelm me. In order to do that, I must continue to

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.

Why Colorado Christian University In 1979 I enlisted in the US Navy. I was in college and wanted to complete my education. While in the Navy I always said to myself I will finish college someday. I got married and it seem that that goal will never happen. Years when by, then in 2000 I when back to school, worked hard and received my Associate degree in Accounting. Work at the County of Orangeburg as Purchasing Clerk for 9 years. The goal of getting a BS degree can up. But it was on the back burner again. I just did not had the time, coaching high school football, job, Church all was too much at that time. BY this time I had Kids in college, seem like the dream was over then. In 2011 I enroll at Colorado Technical College, for a year did not complete.

This year leading up to my first quarter at college has been filled with so much information, change, and learning. I believe the ultimate goal of going to college is to set yourself up for a bright future. Thanks to all the amazing seminars, presentations, and learning opportunities the Women Leader Forum provided to the Youth Women Leaders I believe I am on the right track. Thank you for allowing us to listen to such inspiring and successful women. As if that wasn't enough, you allowed us to learn firsthand from professional women leaders with a career that interests us. I was very fortunate to be given a mentor that was so willing to teach me and who worked in an office with other successful women who also served as mentors. Thank you for

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.

College has always been in my plan to success even before I knew what I wanted to be. My parents pushed me to do my best in school and attend a college with high standards. Neither of my parents attended college, but my father enrolled in a certification program to become a mechanic. My father enjoyed his job, but my mother felt as if she could have accomplished more if she furthered her education. Every time the topics of schools erupt so does my mother, emphasizing my education and the importance of college. She talks about how times change and it’s a “dog eat dog” world now, and I believe her. Saying jobs have changed over time is an understatement. Back then a select few would get the job they wanted, while the rest made a career out of

Going back to childhood, remember the times when parents and teachers would ask this particular question over and over again, “do you want to go to college?/ how many of you want to go to college?” It was a question that followed us throughout our lives as students. We live in a world right now where a collegee education isn’t precisely nothing, but has lost its value/worth. Some people will decide to work at a job that doesn’t require a college degree at all - military, janitorial jobs, movie star, etc. Many students don’t graduate and waste their money/ the government’s money. College is a choice rather than an action that determines your future and it can have downsides to it. College can definitely be a waste of time for those who want to work with a job of personal experience rather than intelligence. Some people don’t see themselves doing school anymore/ college isn’t meant for everyone, think of the non-post secondary occupations. Student loan debt is crippling towards college graduates'. It often forces college graduates to live with their parents and delay marriage, financial independence, and other adult milestones. Many people succeed without a college degree such as certain celebrities like the great Steven Jobs (world's richest person). Finally, college degrees don’t guarantee learning or job preparations. Still believe that a colleg

My high school experience hasn't been a success for me to get to college (Binus Univ) by taking all of the class I needed to get this far. Actually, i'm not graduate in 2016 but a year ago, I have came a long way during my high school because I really thought I wouldn’t have made it this far due to struggling to keep my grades up but as I started it’s really hard at all to keep them up.

Coming from a small family on the big Island, I was lucky enough to be given many opportunities to influence my future. I was given the opportunity of being able to understand the feeling of the aloha spirit, being humble and treating others with kindness as I grew up. Growing up I always wanted to be successful and make a positive impact due to the amazing things I have experienced. I plan to put those morals when I go to college and major in Psychology, with those stepping stones I will be able to fulfill my career goals.

For anyone, making the decision to go to college and enroll in a public university can be an overwhelming jump, therefore people generally have different expectations. I moved from San Antonio Texas to attend school in Palm Beach in hopes of forcing myself out of my comfort zone and to further explore who I am. As a college student of Palm Beach Atlantic, I expect to strengthen my relationship with Christ, be successful academically, and continue to work hard contribute to the universities woman’s soccer team. I have high expectations for myself considering this new way of life, and I believe being a student here at Palm Beach will help me grow as a person.

Upon one`s leave from high school comes the next stage in their life, if they choose to accept
