As Malcolm X once said: “education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” Thus, being in college is my desire since I was a kid. College is my first priority, goal, and target. First, I want to learn and have the enough knowledge as I can. Second, I will discover the diversity of things. Besides that, I will get myself satisfied when I achieve my dream. Then to let my family be proud of me. On the other hand, I am originally from Iraq, and I had raised in Syria. In fact, I had graduated from high school in 2006, but I did not have the chance to continue my education and attend college because of the expensive costs. Furthermore, attending college was my biggest dream ever as I mentioned that before. …show more content…
Then, I came to the United States of America, and I have been here for 3 years. Many opportunities opened the door for me to assume my dream or goal, and make it happen. Now, finally I have the chance to be in college. Of course, the most interesting things in college are studying, learning, and even preparing me to be able to get a good job, and to be able to make more money that I actually need it. In addition, this is my second semester in the college, and I love the environment that I entered. I explore everything, and every day I learn indispensable skills in college. Also, I will enhance my communication, talking, and thinking better, especially because of my English is a second language. Eventually, I will be taking advantages of the benefits of innovation technology that offered by
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.

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 writing to express my interest in the Program Coordinator position at Breakthrough Central Texas. I am interested in this position because I strongly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to attend college and fulfill their dreams, but I also know that the playing field is not leveled for everyone. I want to work in an environment that empowers and supports the youth to reach their full potential and this position offers that incredible opportunity.
In the near future, I expect to gain many important aspects from my college education. The first and most important thing I hope to gain from this experience is independence. In my opinion, having a successful career of your own is one of the best things you can accomplish. The best matter to never have to worry about, is depending on other people. You never know what will happen to you in the future. You always want something to fall back on something and a college diploma is the perfect answer. The last component that I hope to gain from college is a great life experience that I will never forget. This is only my first semester as a freshman, but I can already predict that college is going to give me all of these gifts.
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.
Since I was little I dreamed of going to college and become a nurse. Education is important to me because none of my family members had gone to college, and if I go it will be a family accomplishment and but also a personal one whereas helping people in need is one of the things I like the most. Besides, as a first generation going to college I will be an example to my younger siblings. I will be able to show them that if we work hard and commit to our dreams, we will accomplish them. I am planning to enroll full time in college and join clubs aligned with my degree. When I came to the United States the unknown of the English language was a challenge I had to overcome. However, it did not stop me to pursue my education, I started to create
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.
Everyone has different intentions for going to college, I chose to attend in order to advance and gain new skills, to experience the college life, and discover God’s plan for my life.
It seems that this day and age, college is becoming a very crucial part of today's society. Without college it is very difficult to get a job in a field that you want to be in, but at the same time it is difficult for people without a degree to maintain their job. This is why it is very important for a person to complete college. Hutchinson Community College, like many other colleges, is working to prepare their students for life after they have graduated. Although there are many ways to improve a college to make people want to stay and finish their degree, the college should be aware of the students’ desire to finish the degree before they are accepted.
As a first generation student, academic promise hasn’t always been a focus of mine until my high school years. Coming from a family where the only post-high school education is whatever training you receive at work, it is hard to relate when the possibility of university is so far away. Four years after high school, I have not only worked full time but also received my associates degree from my hometown community college. That is all great thanks to the family that have raised me, and taught me that hard work is the only work capable of doing. My parents never had the opportunity to attend college, so they taught me what they knew in life instead; where manners are always required, hard work is mandatory, and when finished with that work; you
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.

By going to college I could conquer my dream of changing the world, whether by finding a new way of producing electricity in third world countries or finding a way to increase efficiency of factories here in the homeland.
Ever since I was young, I have dreamed of going to college. Both my parents met at Indiana University Bloomington, so, they’ve always been extremely enthusiastic about the whole college experience. I am embarrassingly similar to my parents, and that, I believe, is the reason I have been looking forward to going to college so desperately. I knew it would be totally different from high school, but I think that’s the best part to me. I love new places and meeting new people.
