College has always been in my plan to success even before I knew what I wanted to be. My parents pushed me to do my best in school and attend a college with high standards. Neither of my parents attended college, but my father enrolled in a certification program to become a mechanic. My father enjoyed his job, but my mother felt as if she could have accomplished more if she furthered her education. Every time the topics of schools erupt so does my mother, emphasizing my education and the importance of college. She talks about how times change and it’s a “dog eat dog” world now, and I believe her. Saying jobs have changed over time is an understatement. Back then a select few would get the job they wanted, while the rest made a career out of

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.
Media surrounds us, from the graphic design on our morning cellophane coffee cups, to the carefully designed spreads in the magazines we religiously read. The world of Media and Film is beautifully complex, and something which I strongly want to be involved with. I have always immersed myself in the world of Media, and have only ever felt truly satisfied when I’ve been involved in broadening my knowledge and understanding of the industry.

Living in America I am given many opportunities to pursue my education such as being surrounded by fantastic colleges and being the first person in my family to graduate high school and attend college.I am determined to have a great profession and make my parents proud. An important short-term goal is attending Mercer University for both undergraduate and graduate school with the most financial aid as possible My parents emigrated from India and came here with nothing. They have suffered through many hardships financially and personally to provide for my sister and I. Due to my dad’s health issues he is forced to retire and stay home. Our expenses solely rely on my mother’s income and the income I receive from my part time job. Since my family’s funds are limited, applying for financial aid is critical in order for me to attend college.
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.

It seems that this day and age, college is becoming a very crucial part of today's society. Without college it is very difficult to get a job in a field that you want to be in, but at the same time it is difficult for people without a degree to maintain their job. This is why it is very important for a person to complete college. Hutchinson Community College, like many other colleges, is working to prepare their students for life after they have graduated. Although there are many ways to improve a college to make people want to stay and finish their degree, the college should be aware of the students’ desire to finish the degree before they are accepted.
As a first generation student, academic promise hasn’t always been a focus of mine until my high school years. Coming from a family where the only post-high school education is whatever training you receive at work, it is hard to relate when the possibility of university is so far away. Four years after high school, I have not only worked full time but also received my associates degree from my hometown community college. That is all great thanks to the family that have raised me, and taught me that hard work is the only work capable of doing. My parents never had the opportunity to attend college, so they taught me what they knew in life instead; where manners are always required, hard work is mandatory, and when finished with that work; you

The Rural Alaska Honors Institute (RAHI) is a very helpful program for me to become involved in, especially since I plan on going to college after high school to better my education and to shape my future. Since RAHI is at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), and I am attending UAF in the fall this year, majoring in Geoscience, it will help me get the feel of college and give me the experience I need. This program is something that interests me a lot and I will get to meet new people who I might be going to college with.
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
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.
After graduation, I want to attend either Bradley university, Lewis university, or University of Illinois at Chicago with intentions of receiving my bachelors degree in either mechanical or civil engineering. I have intentions to attend college for the sake of my future and my family. Being the first one from my clan to attend college would surely make the trials and tribulations both my parents undergo worthwhile. It would be helpful for me knowing that I would not have to live such a difficult live like my father, who lives paycheck to paycheck every week. I hope to make attending college possible by raising as much money dedicated towards my education so that my student debt does not overwhelm me. In order to do that, I must continue to
Rachel Valdez Time has gone by so fast since the time I graduated high school. Four years ago last month I was walking the stage in my yellow gown. It was a proud moment for my family; being the second to graduate high school, and the first to graduate in the top ten percent with plans to attend college in the fall. I was also very proud of myself, relieved that all the testing and college applications were over. Although I must admit I was not sure at all what I wanted to pursue a career in. What would I major in? What do I really want to? From the time I discovered a relationship with God (about my sophomore year in high school) I wanted to know, what was I made for? I always asked, hoping I would find what I was made for soon! Especially during the frustration of
You have never heard the expression used, but life is like a box full of rocks. Such as the rocks fill the box, decisions, and actions fill your life. First off, you must know what your large stones are; these are the important aspects of your life. They are life's pillars: your family, your friends, your education. Next, come life’s pebbles, commitments, hobbies, walking the dog, calling your mother. Gravel represents the smaller moments in life, moments such as waking up, walking to school, or greeting a friend. Sand fills up the box, it represents necessities, the unnoticeable happenings that bring life together: sleeping, breathing, and eating. With life, like this box full of rocks, what you add, its size, and its shape is up to you, only remember, it can’t hold everything.
