Why I Want To Attend College

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.

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.

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. 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.

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 have explicit reasons as to why I want to go to college and why I want to study as an applications software developer, but they both share the same catalyst. Once I set my mind on something or take initiative towards any target of mine, I will accommodate all aspects of my life to achieve that accomplishment. To go to college and to study software development are two goals of mine that are no different. There are other reasons as to why I want to go to college, but goals mean a lot to me and I do anything I can to make sure my dreams become a reality.

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

I was raised in a very negative household, filled with alcoholism, mental abuse, and financial turbulence. As a child I did very poorly in school, and often failed classes because I was so angry and withdrawn. To my knowledge, my teachers did not know about my home life.

This year leading up to my first quarter at college has been filled with so much information, change, and learning. I believe the ultimate goal of going to college is to set yourself up for a bright future. Thanks to all the amazing seminars, presentations, and learning opportunities the Women Leader Forum provided to the Youth Women Leaders I believe I am on the right track. Thank you for allowing us to listen to such inspiring and successful women. As if that wasn't enough, you allowed us to learn firsthand from professional women leaders with a career that interests us. I was very fortunate to be given a mentor that was so willing to teach me and who worked in an office with other successful women who also served as mentors. Thank you for

I have always been fascinated by the complex relationship between humanity and their environment. Our home, planet earth, faces future consequences because of our actions, or lack thereof. After discovering my passion for environmental stewardship, I have decided to commit to a conscious lifestyle. Because of this decision, I plan to study environmental science in college where I hope to develop my knowledge of our planet and catalyze my passion into action for the environmental movement. At college, I hope to gain a distinguished education and catalyzed passion. The most important reason why I wish to attend college is to gain a greater understanding of our home and how human activities affect it. Therefore, I can achieve a strong foundation to support my efforts towards a sustainable environment. Additionally, I hope to catalyze my passion for the environment through student organizations and events. One of the

The reason why I want to go to college is that I want to be able to have a successful job or career. Also because someday I want to become a crime scene investigator and a criminal defense attorney to help others in need. Another reason is because I want to become someone important or successful someday because there's a lot of people who say that I'm not going to be good enough or I'm not going to be good at what I want to become and I want to prove them wrong anything is possible as long as you put your all into it. A good way to start fresh in life and leave the old habits behind to become a person I’ve always wanted to be. Make my parents proud since they didn't go to college to get the education they needed and wanted.

James Mason once said, “Education today, more than ever before, must see clearly the dual objectives, education for living and education for living and education for making a living.” For me to be successful in high school and before I go to college, this quote makes me think and realize that I can do it no matter what challenges come.

Every since I was a little boy growing up all I’ve been hearing from my teachers, parents, and people older than me is you must go to college, without college you will not get a job, if you're living in my house you must go to college. College really wasn't really a big thing in my mind. In middle school until my junior year of high school, I really didn't think much about college I just went with the flow of everyday life. When the thought of college went into my mind was my senior year of high school it was September or October of 2015 I was in my English class and I thought to myself, “ What am I going to do for the rest of my life after high school”. I didn't want to look like a bum and graduate high school doing nothing. So I got serious

For me, high school was a time of self discovery. Prodded with questions about what I wanted to do and where I was going to go to college, I took a wide variety of classes, all at the highest level. I tried computer programming, world history, spanish, and many others. In the end, the first class that kept me endlessly entertained while also posing a significant challenge was Chemistry. After taking Chemistry junior year, I knew my future was in science. So, I took as many science and math classes as I could. I took both Honors Pre-Calc and AP Statistics junior year, and this year along with taking AP Calculus BC I am taking AP Chemistry and Physics.
