Important Of College

As a senior in high school, questions regarding college and my plans for the years following graduation are asked to me on a day-to-day basis. College is definitely the most important thing I am focused on this year, and although a college degree is highly valued in the job field today, many argue that not everyone should attend college due to the fact that it brings a new level of responsibility that many cannot handle, many careers now do not require a four-year degree, and because students no longer have the desire to learn.

Coming to college has shown me information and knowledge I never thought I was capable of learning and it will be knowledge I will use for the rest of my life. I came to college last year for my own personal growth and to expand my horizons. I thought about what I wanted to do after high school and continuing my education was number one on my list. I’m here simply to better my future, expand my knowledge, increase my potential, and learn more about myself. I want to make my family and myself proud by completing college and getting a degree. Bettering my future and making sure I have the information to be able to do my future career is my top priority because it’s the only thing I have continually been working for since the 9th grade. Expanding my knowledge in these courses that will soon get me to the school I need to be at is a compelling reason for me to stay motivated enough to wake up in the morning and push myself to come to school. I hope to increase my potential and develop into

Ever since I started to seriously think about my future, I had aspirations of getting a degree and becoming a professional. Specific careers have changed constantly, ranging from becoming a teacher to an engineer. As I got older, I began to assess my strengths and weaknesses as well as my likes and dislikes. I know a college education is essential in today’s economy and society. Doors are opened to those with college degrees and a better lifestyle is guaranteed. A college education is not only economically beneficial but intellectually as well, for it provides a unique learning experience as it caters to an individual’s interests

From being raised by parents who have not exceeded their education standards, to now developing the first generation of my family to graduate high school and attend college, I have come a long way. Years ago I couldn't imagine myself being thrilled to apply for colleges. I am a 18 year old female, who was born and raised in New Jersey. Growing up I always thought about succeeding my life term goal, which is, to be able to support my family and myself, financially and emotionally. My parent’s struggles motivated me to stay in school and learn from their mistakes.

People go to college for many different reasons, some go to prepare themselves for a job there seeking. Others because they’re doing what their parents are telling them, or their going to just explore their options. I think at some point and time though, everyone going to college has at least wondered whether going to college is worth it or not. We worry whether we’ll find a job, or if we’re going to have severe financial problems in the future due to debt. This question is important to me, because I’m one of the many that don’t really know what I want to do with my life. I sometimes wonder whether college is worth my time, and that maybe I should just start joining the workforce now. I think this question is very meaningful to current, and

In my earlier high school years I did not plan to go to college. I wanted to join the workforce immediately. I felt like college was not going to benefit me in many ways, but after careful consideration I decided I would be missing out on excellent opportunities if I did not go. I want to attend college not only to obtain a career, but also for all of the opportunities college life will offer me. I am eager to be involved with the college community and to make friends with my peers. I plan to better myself by learning things I never knew or learned in highschool about who I am. I know I have a lot of potential to be someone valuable to the community. Whether it be to a business, the sciences, or medical fields, I know in order to become that

Tuition numbers and student debt for college students has increased significantly. In today's civilization, college is a touchy subject to most. Most young adults have an idea that college is this alternate universe that they have to wrap their heads around. College is not for everyone and it should not be forced down people's throats. While it may be true that college education may help someone grow intellectually, the real points to consider opportunities and personal interest.

I have grown up in a low income, single-parent family, and am the first person in my immediate family to attend college. I always knew growing up that I wanted more for myself; I wanted to be something more, something bigger. I didn’t know what exactly I wanted, or how I was going to make this a reality, all I had were all these dreams and aspirations of becoming so much more than what I came from. My parents were both high school dropouts, as I eventually came to be. I didn’t get the start that I had imagined, but I soon made the decision that it had come time for me to do whatever it would take to make my dreams come true.

Many people aspire to receive a college degree, including myself, but not because they want to but because it is the societal norm. Throughout years of schooling adults preach to students that a college degree is essential, and because of this students go to college because they have to. This was the epitome of myself since I was in middle school, but recently I have realized that receiving a college degree is much more than a piece of paper indicating a completed program. A college degree is important, and it will impact me in a sense that I will work hard, overcome struggles, and learn about my passion. Receiving college degree and a college experience will sculpt me into the person I am meant to be and will put the aspirations and goals

Heading off to college is a big ordeal and it’s important that I’m prepared for all the things I’ll have to face without the help of prior preparation and research. I would like to be prepared for all the financial and time restraints that I’ll have to deal with. The stress of studying for all my classes will be enough to deal with, without the stress of finding ways to pay for all the things that are associated with growing up and going off to college. I would like to be successful and I don’t find college to be a necessity to be successful but I do appreciate learning and I’d like to learn all I can, because knowledge is power, plus it’s what my family would expect from me. And if I’d like to keep receiving health insurance,

In society today, education and pursuing a college education is stressed to kids today like never before. It’s almost impossible to escape the idea that college is the best option, from commercials, parents, and teachers it’s drilled into their minds constantly. It’s now a common belief that the American dream is unattainable without the completion of college. The truth is, these days it almost is unattainable without a degree, trying to get a job interview or a high paying salary in this job market without higher education is nearly impossible. A college degree is now more important than ever.

Since I was little I have known I wanted to end up at a college. I knew I was meant for “something great” and college was the gateway to the “something great” I strived for. But college means more to me than a desire I had a child, it means escaping my parents’ fate. They both hold respectable credentials; my dad has an MBA and my mom is a licensed math teacher, and yet they are in positions that are technically underworking them. Due to their predicament, I was raised in a low socioeconomic bracket. However, college is my take off point for my goals of not having to live like my parents do for the rest of my life.

Attending college for the first time is an important, rewarding decision that I made for a good reason. I learned a lot about myself that will help me in my future. Setting goals, having expectations, and reflecting why I am in college is incredible to think about.

Since my father never bothered to pay for my child support and my mother could scarcely afford to pay the bills, I thought college was out of my league. I cried myself to sleep every night because my aspirations of attending college were shattered. However, it was during my freshman year of high school that I realized that my financial difficulties were not an impediment to fulfilling my goal and obtaining a higher education. My counselors helped clear away that gray cloud that had tormented me for many years by assuring me that if I were assiduous with my education I would be able to acquire scholarships to help pay for my college tuition. Henceforth, I decided to make my education a priority in order to achieve my dreams. I intend to surpass myself every day to avoid my current economical state in the future and to allow for numerous job opportunities to emerge much more easily in my future. My objective is to obtain a college degree and major in Chemistry so I can provide for my mother the same way she has sustained me through the

Upon completion of the traditional education system, every student is laden with the decision of either to continue their personal, educational growth or to enter directly into the field for which they have the utmost interest. I, personally, fall into the preceding category. My desire is to attend college in order to allow myself to channel my passions into the workforce. Additionally, I seek the ability to dependably provide for myself and, should the occasion arise, a family. With the two of these notions in mind, it is undeniably apparent that pursuing a college education is imperative to my future, and, as such, is something which I desire to do.
