Why I Want To Go To College

I would like to attend college because I thoroughly enjoy learning. I take great pride in my education; as a women in the twenty-first century, I am going to take advantage of the opportunities I have and educate myself as much as possible. Obtaining a college degree is also essential to thrive in the industry I would like to be involved in after college, the fashion business industry. I selected my major, business administration because I have curated and ran an online store since I was thirteen. I enjoyed the experience so much that I made the decision to pursue it as a career and not just a hobby.

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.

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.

Making the decision to not attend the University of Massachusetts Amherst during the Fall of 2015 was one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make. When I came to the realization that I wanted to be a nurse I was too far along in the college process that It was too late for me to re-apply. I could not transfer into the program, as the Umass Nursing program only accepts Freshman Applicants. I had to bite the bullet, I was to attend college in the fall with my close friends and compatriots and study something I had no drive or passion for, or I was to withdraw my application and remove myself from the safety and certainty of a good education and future. This decision would mark the passage into adulthood, something I would not yet know until I had made the tough choice.

I dream of becoming the first person in my family to graduate from college and making my family proud. I dream of seeing myself as someone who loves their job as well as someone who is knowledgeable in their field.  I want to be someone who people look to for help or advice when it comes to College or the field of Forensic Sciences.

As a lover of basketball from a young age, what originally attracted me to Syracuse was it’s standings in college basketball. As college began to approach I decided to look into the school which holds my favorite college basketball team. While exploring Syracuse I realized that the university has qualities that I look for as I embark on my undergraduate years as a young adult.

Jani a schizophrenic girl and bodhi an autistic boy inspired my choice for wanting to go to college. I recall that day watching her and brother’s documentary on TLC “Born schizophrenic” , her dad said on TV during the documentary that Jani started having suicidal thoughts at around the age of 5 . I felt so much pity for her, her parents and her brother, I wished so much I could do something about her and her brother’s mental state. I decided to research about hers and her brother's condition and it led me to learning about other mental disorders. And soon enough I decided I wanted to be a psychologist. I want to go college and explore why people do the things they do, i want to go to college and learn why people have different opinions. Before

The strengths of the curriculum at RAHS is the variety. RAHS offers a variety of electives including anything from Family and Consumer Science classes to public speaking. With few requirements in terms of electives, RAHS allows the student to choose their own electives to match interest in hopes to balance with core classes. However, i wish RAHS offered more post-secondary classes at the school. For juniors and seniors, century courses are offered at Century college for classes such medical careers, education and even cosmetology. RAHS should offer more in school post-secondary related classes that don't require leaving RAHS as well as taking multiple electives within a trimester. RAHS should focus more on college and real life preparation

Here at Palo Alto College, I believe my new journey will begin. After finishing the path of stepping stones that were already laid out for me from elementary to high school, it is my turn to create my own path. I asked myself, "Where is it that I want to go from here?" College was my answer.

Prior to attending the University of Washington Bothell, I viewed college as a required transition to adulthood. I understood that four years of my life must be committed to reading textbooks, taking exams, conversing with others, and writing lengthy papers in order to begin to put value on my resume. It is because of this that I started my academic career with the intention of simply finishing, picking up as many good grades as I could along the way. The University of Washington Bothell, however, has altered my understanding of what it means to go to college. College nourishes intellectualism on the basis of creating lifelong learners, researchers, and question-developers. This means that my coursework in interdisciplinary research, writing and communication, critical and creative

After graduating high school from Northside College Prep in 2015, ranked the number one school in the state, I had high hopes of entering straight into a 4-year university and getting the typical college experience. Even though many of my classmates were still unsure of their desired program, I always knew. All throughout high school even, I knew I wanted to pursue criminal justice. What started as an obsession with over-exaggerated TV crime dramas turned into a passion for true crime documentaries and books. Once college admissions were revealed, I was eager to begin my new journey. Although I was lucky enough to be awarded some merit-based scholarships and offered loans, the aid was ultimately not enough for me to attend UIC like I was hoping, and it seemed my dream was just a little farther from my grasp. As much as I wanted to go to college and get a higher education, I knew I realistically could not afford a 4-year university at the time. I decided on registering at my nearby city college, Truman, in hopes of receiving my associates degree first and one day being able to transfer into UIC as I had been hoping. Lucky enough for me, I had someone at home who had gone through a

We all eventually are mature about making life decisions and want to also carry out the things that will help you get even an inch closer to what you want in reality. As a matter of fact, I like the quote, "Ask yourself if what you are doing today us getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow."

One of the many goals I had, since I was a kid, was to graduate high school. Growing up this goal had seemed so far away. Now that I am a senior in high school, I am already thinking about the next chapter in my life. It seems so surreal knowing that I have to pick the next milestone in my life.

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.

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.
