I Want To Go To College

Why go to college? That’s a usual question asked by anyone. In Robert S. Feldman’s article “Why go to College”, Feldman uses a survey taken by college students nationwide to find the reason why they attend college. In the article, Feldman titles his essay with a question because he wants to make the reader reflect upon themselves, as well to focus on the question. I believe the author does this to try and get the reader involved with the reading. Feldman’s topic in his article is why a person wants to go to college. His thesis the specific reason why college freshmen choose to attend college and what they want to get out of it. Feldman’s main points in the article that supports the thesis include receiving training for a specific career, land

After four years of high school, there is only one goal I have in mind. That goal is to attend college. This is the next big step in my life. All the late nights I stayed up to complete school assignment was for this moment. All my hard work was has lead me to this point in life. College will open a whole new to me. A world where I can meet new people while working to improve my future. Why do I want to attend college though? Well I have three specific reasons for this decision.

Why? This is the question that is before me right now. Why am I attending college? What degree is it that I am pursuing, and why? The expected answers to the question, “Why are you attending college?” is, to make better money, or to provide for myself and my family. With me, the answer to this question is different.

For people who have already attended and finished high school, one of the choices that they will have to make is to whether to continue with a higher education, or start walking and planning life right away. I decided to continue my education and try to get a degree in some field that I was interested in. Why did I decide to go to college? I decided to go to college for many reasons; therefore, I wanted to become successful, have an education, and I wanted to make sure that in the future I had a degree in a field that I really liked.

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.

One day in 2011, I had an epiphany that I wanted to become the CEO of a hospital one day. The CEO of Rose Medical Center became aware of this and informed me that I could certainly have his job one day, but I must first go back to school and get my Master's degree. He is not the only person that has hounded me about going back to school. Many other managers, administrators and even family members have said the same. Clearly they see something in me that I had not quite yet see in myself. I think I am finally coming to the realization that if they think I can obtain a Master's degree, then I certainly possess the skills, knowledge and motivation to go back to school. It is time for me to shake up my content, routine life and take the step to bettering myself and fulfilling the commitment I made to myself on December 31,

In 5 years I want to go to college and get my degree in engineering and maybe work on cars for a living or I am going to be a state cop and chase people down and catch them. It depends on the way I want to go. I am sure I will find a job that suits me fine. I can’t wait till I get to college and get my own car to drive around in but until 5 years are over looks like I’m sticking to my bike.

If I had to name important characters I learned from my parents, I would say they are being a hardworker and humble individual. Both of my parents do not have a post-secondary education making me the first to attend college, which is a privilege. I have an immense respect towards my parents for being fieldworkers because even though it is not a “high statues” ideal career they do what they can to provide for our family. They have worked blazing summers and frigid winters to give us the chance to educate ourselves. These sacrifices have become ultimate motivation factors that push me forward when I feel frustrated with school.

The reason I want to go to college is because it would be the final obstacle between me and my goals. In my family going to college is an extreme challenge due to the financial problems and the hard work it takes to make it. For me to actually go to college and to finish would mean that a “Thompson” from my family has succeeded in something other than failing. Going to college would me that I would be the very first “Thompson” to finish school and start a career for his/her self.

I want to go to college to fight my boredom while doing something productive for my future. I need to start fresh since I’ve graduated my Diploma in Business Management and I was really lost after graduating. So it’s time to start my energy again to figure out who do I want to be in my future instead of

From a very young age I was aware of the importance of education and the amount of hard work it entailed. My mother decided to go back to school for nursing when I was six years old. Looking back, I remember her studying late into the night and attending study groups on weekends to facilitate her dream. It took her four years to complete her degree, a task that wasn’t easy for her since she was also raising four children, but this set a remarkable example for me. Watching my mother complete her goal taught me that you are in control of your own circumstances. Since the age of 18, I have been financially independent. I paid for (and continue to pay for) my undergraduate degree, as well as my post-baccalaureate studies, predominantly by working. As I continue in pursuit of my doctorate, working may not be a possibility and has forced me to explore other options. If awarded this financial need scholarship the additional money would help me; focus on my studies, decrease my loan amount and increase my overall quality of life.

Fashion has always been my outlet. As a soft-spoken southern girl, my style has always been my way to break free and boldly show a part of myself that was hidden behind my shy demeanor. Giving me a new perspective of the world from a young age fashion encouraged me to try new things and market myself. Freshmen year of high school I turned those new skills and courage into actions by working with my school’s JROTC program to sell candy and other treats to the other students. I took this as an opportunity to meet and talk to new people, it was also a way to make a little money. Unexpectedly, I gained so much knowledge about people what they like don’t like, how presentation can directly affect if a potential customer makes a purchase, as well as how important it is to keep up with customers buying patterns. With that information, I was able to sell an astonishing nine hundred and fifty-seven treats in just four months.Through this minor achievement I proved to myself that I could do anything that I wanted to do with a lot of hard and consistency.

“Why did I come to College?” Although I am returning to school later in life than most traditional college students I hope to demonstrate the value and importance to my children. Not having the proper education prohibits growth personally as well as professionally. I hope that as my children

When kids are growing up they always dream about what they want to become when they are older. Some will say astronaut, president, or professional athlete etc. and I was very much one of those kids and just being a professional athlete wasn’t one of them. That’s because I would always dream about what college I would go to and my brother and I would always have conversations like these. We would always talk about the college or professional team we would want to go to and we were never on the same wavelength when it came to these teams. I would always be a Georgia Bulldog, Colts, St. Louis Cardinals, or even Carolina Panthers player. He would be the Fighting Irish (Notre Dame), Braves, Or a Dolphins player.

If I were to be asked the question of “Will, you live in ND after you graduate college or high school?” I wouldn't really know how to answer it. I would be able to say I want to go to college for sure, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what my plans after college were. Where you decide to live is a very important and hard decision to make. For me, there are a lot of factors that will go to my decision making when I choose my destination to buy a house and start my career. There are a lot of great destinations around the world that are intriguing to me. The options of where to live are limitless. You can live in a large town, a small town, or even a different country. Each place has its own advantages and disadvantages. This makes it much harder to make up your mind on where you want to live. You want to do what is right for you and live where you want, but sometimes that is hard, especially if you still want to be close to family. So obsessed there are some difficult decisions to make. For me, my decisions will be based on what I go to college for. If I would like to live in a larger town or an average size town if I want to see different parts of the world, and on where my family is relative to my potential living location.
