Why I Want To Pursue A Degree In 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.

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.

You ask, why do I want to attend college? , probably expecting the most common response of a heart to heart sob story coming from a not so fortunate young lady residing in Sanford, Florida. I am not taking that option I like to call the “easy toll” paying everyone a feeling that results in a sign of sympathy. I don’t need sympathy; I wish to just impress anyone just by my intellect ways and showing that I am headstrong. There are a numerous amount of reasons why I would love to attend college but the main three is that it really is the only possible way to become comfortably successful, my ancestors fought for me to even go to school and further my education, and to make the woman that raised me proud.

I was raised by my father until I was 13 years old, he was a school bus driver and always struggled to provide for us. At 13 I went into fostercare where I fell pregnant and droped out of highschool at the age of 16. I raised my daugher on my own, I decided to go back to school to work twards my grade 12 so I could apply for college. After reciving the needed credits to apply for college.

While I researched different colleges, I found that there were a lot of differences between them. Some colleges are are 4-year commitments and some are only 2 years. While one college may only offer a masters and bachelors degree in one major, another college may only offer an associate's. College is very expensive and tuition is rising dramatically each year which is why I would also like to join the Navy and get a free education. Although I would have to go to a college that offers NROTC in order to get tuition assistance, it will be well worth it. After I retire from the Navy, I will use my major and become a registered nurse. My goal in this paper is to inform the reader on what my plans are for after I graduate high school.

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.

Education sits at the core of human existence; without it, we would not be able to accomplish our simplest goals, but with it, the options are limitless. My mother always told me that "education is the best gift you can give someone," which is where the foundation of my pursuit to give all individuals the gift of scholarship sprouted. Growing up as a female in America, I never understood the importance of education until I became aware of an organization known as She's the First (STF), which enables young, uneducated women from different countries to have the same opportunities that we take for granted. Though I am fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to attend exceptional schools throughout my life. Many women in different countries cannot say the same.

I want to go to college so I can learn and be prepared for the real world. College is a place where I can get a fresh start. I can be a better person by how I matured in high school and becoming the man I am. I can break out and be who I want to be because of some peer pressure I had in high school. I want to meet people that will be my friends for a long time. My Mom had a college friend over this weekend and they shared some stories with me and I want to be able to tell my kids stories with my best friend. College education will give me the opportunity to pursue and learn something that I love. College gives me the chance to have my own responsibilities. I want to show my parents that they raised a smart

After graduating from high school, I had a 14 year gap in my education. When I first graduated high school, I inherited a house that I needed to pay for and maintain. In order to do this I got a full-time job immediately upon graduating. For the next several years I worked first in a deli and then doing direct care for developmentally challenged adults. None of these jobs were very fulfilling for me so when I found a job that I really enjoyed, I stuck with it. I have been with my current employer for the past 12 years.

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.

The decision to pursue secondary education has always been a goal throughout high school. As a successful high school student and a potential first-generation college student, the idea of successfully obtaining a degree not only would fulfill personal satisfaction, but also expectations held by my parents. Within my senior year of high school in South Carolina, I was greatly interested in becoming an aerospace engineer; a very admirable profession in the eyes of my parents. After carefully considering Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, I ultimately settled for Blacksburg to become a Hokie. Unfortunately, the college lifestyle was too overwhelming and I had to withdraw after my first year. This moment was very disappointing for myself and parents. However, I knew I couldn't give up the possibility of a college education, so I entered the workforce with the thought of going back to school when I was ready and prepared. Initially, the motivation was within myself, but later in life I learned that the significant people to build on that motivation was going to be my family and employer.

My entire life I have seen my family, including my parents, struggle to pay bills and provide for their families. Not one person in my family went to college because their parents simply could not afford to send them. This, along with wanting to inspire others, make my parents proud, and to be self-reliant is why I am pursuing a higher education. I want to be successful, so much so that I will be able to help my family and future children with living and financial problems. I will make it more than possible to send my children and their children to college so that they may follow their dreams and inspire others. In addition, I want to inspire my students to excel in school so that they may be able to pursue all of their hopes and dreams as

My son Justin seeing me going to school makes Him excited because we both are going to school and we both will have home work.

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

Every person has a story to tell according to their lifetime experience which can motivate himself to do something better. Growing up as a boy, nothing was more vital than having my mother dressed me up nicely every day to go to school. In addition, I was very delighted because I had friends whom I became along with. It was exciting, even though it was not enough. After I graduated middle school, I decided to go to high school. Two years after I started high school, I felt high school was not the right place for me. I dropped out and I started a job where I got paid the minimum wage. However, my situation became worse. I knew there was more than what I was looking for as a teenage man; However, it was not easy to understand. I decided to go back to high school to further my education. My modest earlier lifestyle, my new friends from different culture in high school, and my success from high school led me to start college.
