Why I Want To Go To College Essay

There are multiple reasons why someone may want to go to college. Whether it’s to pursue their dreams or prove people wrong. I want to go to college because I want to pursue my dream of majoring in mathematics, math is a passion of mine. I can not say fully what I want to do with my life or when I will find out, but I do know that math is something I want to continue studying. Being Hispanic does not give me a good advantage when it comes to colleges, I have to make sure my voice is heard. What is even more complicated is being a first generation college student, my family really can not help because my parents did not go to college. I have to set the example for my younger brother because he is also going to be a first generation college student

I come from a low-income family with a household of eight people. I have my dad, my six siblings, and my mother passed away a few years ago. As a first-generation college student I felt so many emotions. I came from a high school that didn’t prepare me for college courses and that became a problem. What made it worse was that my dad didn’t go to college, so I couldn’t go to him for help. I was scared, depressed, unprepared, I was doing everything on my own. I also felt like I didn’t belong because I believed I wasn’t as smart as the other students or “rich” enough. When I first arrived at UC Davis, I was immediately intimidated. All of the other students seemed so educated and professional and I just compared myself to them without even getting to know them. Let me tell you, getting here wasn’t easy and I know it wasn’t easy for you either, so feel accomplished. You made it! Now that you’re in UC Davis, you will be expected to work hard. Times may get rough, but just remember that help is out there. Take advantage and don’t be afraid or ashamed to seek help.

I figured out my calling when I started college. I entered as a biology major because I found it interesting. I also got accepted into the science honor program. Through the science honor program, I realized that I shouldn’t go into biology, I would be better in physics and engineering. Thinking back to that transition from biology to physics, I realized how well God planned this. I went to Houghton because it has a good biology program and because I could be in the science honor program. If I started with the interest in physics, I would ended up in RIT and I wouldn’t have the same experience. But I know God wants me to be in engineering because he keep pointing it out to me. Now I know what my next step into master for engineering, but why would God want me to be an engineering.

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.

Throughout my entire life, I always strived to do what God has planned for me, even if it means still searching for what I have to do in the following years. I feel my entire life and experiences that accompanied it along the way have guided me towards the direction I am headed towards to serve God to the best of my abilities. The analysis of these experiences has given me the insight into what I can exactly take away from these experiences and what God calls me to do to serve the world and others resulting from this process of introspection. I have learned through myself, that God is extremely active in everything I am involved in. He made me strong enough to endure the experiences I needed to get to my current point in life. I recognize God's sacrifice for us to

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.

Growing up I was always told by my parents and other adults’ in my church that I worked well with kids. Then during my sophomore year of college it became evident to me that I had a passion for working with children. But more specifically I felt as though I was being called to work with children who had special needs. I realized I had this passion while sitting in one of my education courses when I wanted to study to be a Special Education teacher. Then while taking the math portion of a test that I needed to take in order to get into the education program at Huntington University I began to realize that teaching was not the field of work God had planned for my life.

When a human being enters this world, God already has a plan or purpose for them. Doctors and firemen save lives, presidents lead a nation and policemen protect communities. Whatever role a person has, it has been written as their purpose in life. It was simply a matter of time for me to realize teaching was my purpose.

As I have reflected on my calling and how I have become the person I am today, it has become apparent to me that there is no explanation for how I could have ended up here. For me, that shows that God has been orchestrating every step of my life so that I would end up here, at Huntington University, as a Missions major. I am a journaler, so I was reading through my old journals to try to get a sense of my calling. I think that my calling to ministry began my freshman year, even though I was not aware that was what was happening. In my journal, I wrote, “I really feel like I’m being called to help the poor and the lost, the needy, the hurting, but also children.” After writing this though, I forgot about it. Throughout my freshman and
