Why did I decide to attend college? I chose this path for my life when I was very young, both of my parents attended some form of higher education. They both ended up living fairly well, I decided that I wanted to be successful in life as well and that going to college would be an integral part of my future. I want to be able to live in comfort; be able to be a productive member of my community still, become an adult, and be able to understand things in a new light. College to me is a step into adulthood, a crucial point between the days of youth and the era of maturity. It would introduce me to new ways of thinking about problems and ideas that I thought only had one way to view or solve. Higher education not only gives me new ways to view
Six years after graduating High School, I have finally decided to pursue a college education. Three, fairly common, factors played in to my decision to go back to school: learning new things, building confidence in myself and pursuing my desired career. I understand that graduating college is a difficult task, which is why I must make a plan for my success and stick to it. I must also rely on my personal strengths and my motivation to guide me through the tough times that I am sure to experience on my road to success to get my degree in Criminal Justice. I have always been a person who is eager to learn new things.
Choosing to attend college was a difficult choice, my mother is the only person in all of my family to ever attend and graduate college. My father and the rest of my family have all gone into trade work, some of them attending a trade school and some not. While all of my family does well and live a comfortable lifestyle. I have noticed through the years that my mother has always been employed even when others in my family have not and she always seems to have an easier time finding work. This is the main reasons I decided to attend college, with higher education often times comes more job security and stability. I decided to attend CU boulder specifically due to the fact that it is very close to home, as well as the fact that it is a very
There was many reasons why I decide to attend college. I am extremely tired of applying for distinctive positions and being rejected for not having a degree. I'm a supervisor now over thirty employees when I see different positions opening in management or higher position. I apply on behalf of the job, gain being interviewed for my experience. Nevertheless, not having a college degree really afflicts me. As a result, I decided to attend college and further my education.
I have chosen to spend the next four years of my life in college simply because I want to have a steady job and be successful throughout the course of my life. By going to college I can refine my skills in the area of work in which I would like to pursue. College is a good experience because you can meet people from a large variety of places and cultures. You also learn life lessons about living under a roof where your parents aren’t there to do everything for you.
Since I’m the first person in my family to attend a university, it always appeared important to my family that I receive an exceptional education. The reason why I decided to go to college is because I believe it would help me obtain connections. I chose the W.P Carey School of Business because it is one of the best business schools in the nation and I believe that it would help further improve my education.

Recently, after I decided to join the military I decided it was time to begin attending school again. Many reasons influenced my decision. The biggest reason I could come up with is the fact that while utilizing tuition assistance I do not entail any financial obligations as long as I receive a passing grade in all my courses. Being in the military has also made me realize the importance of achieving a higher level of education. In order to be set apart among your peers you need to prove you are attempting to better yourself at every turn. Education is a great way to prove that. Not only that, education is one thing no one can ever take away from you. I'm applying to Colorado Christian University to see what amount of transfer credits I will
As my senior year began I was currently enrolling into different colleges, Canisius College being one of them. Alot of questions were asked while enrolling such as, why would I be a good fit to the college, what are my interest, and of course what would be my preference in major. I was undecided and overwhelmed. I constantly changed my choice and told individuals different majors I could be interested in. Each day I enrolled into a new school, my major would be different, one day I would be into law, the next day forensics, the next week psychology, and then dentistry. Two different motivations that pushed me towards my major in adolescent education was my National Honor Society advisor and my favorite movie “Freedom Writers.”
They say that college is what you make of it. It's a place of freedom. You can do whatever you want. Wanna go bowling? Sure. Wanna workout? You can. Wanna learn about the arts and humanities? Go for it. This is where my problems began. I stopped paying attention to my education and got caught up in other activities. To tell you the truth, I wasn't properly motivated to do well in college. Yes, there was the general rule of getting good grades to get a good job, but was that all that there is in college? Because of not having a drive, I didn't get straight A's, nor did I ever realize what would happen because of this. I regretted my mistakes when I started to apply for internships. Companies would look at my resume with disappointment. I had the experience, just not the GPA. I saw my friends and family getting internships and opportunities. That was when I decided to get back up on my feet, and start doing something, anything, just to try and get out of this hole I made for myself.
This would be a difficult decision for me to make. Would I admit or would I deny? I already lied to get a perfect score on the SATs, so I thought I could get a perfect life. I think I would choose to confess for stealing the money. The reason behind of why I would confess is because if you don’t graduate from high school, you won’t be able to get a job to be able to earn money. My life would be over if I didn’t graduate or be able to go to college. Three similarities I see with this is the Crucible if you were accused of witchcraft you would have to admit to it in order to get away from death, admitting to taking the money will allow you graduate and not lose the chance for college. Another similarity is this situation is based on accusations.
Attending college was never an option for me according to the Los Angeles Unified School district. The only reason I even attended junior College was because I wanted more for my life that did not include endless work in retail or fast food jobs. I got myself through a few units on my own at East Los Angeles Community College. Doubted my ability to learn every step of the way, due to many years of Special education program in the LAUSD system.

I am Jhanine Senior. My family and I are two year migrants from Jamaica. Our American benefactor, my grandmother, is a forty year US resident and pre-eminent house keeper and child care giver. After a month assisting grandmother, I moved from a house worker and baby sitter to a Receptionist at a Management Consulting firm. The US immigration appointment dates are supreme; therefore, I left Moneague College in the mid spring semester for my new life in America with my highly coveted green card, social security number, a new Madison - New Jersey address. Getting enrolled in the County College of Morris (CCM) was my first American developmental move. I was determined for my re -start in America to bring success – an education, a business, and a life of social service.
In today’s society, high remunerating jobs are hard to find without some sort of degree. That’s why I myself decided to go to college. Most of the time It’s infrequent to discover a really noble job without a degree of some sort. Most corporations will not employ people deprived of experience or adequate training. Ruthless to excel in college will help me ensure that I don’t get a mediocre job. Consuming a minimum wage profession wouldn’t be so pleasant once I have children to feed and clothe.

I chose to attend Xavier University, quite honestly, because Xavier offered to pay my way through school. The full-ride offer and being rejected by my top-choice university was what landed me at Xavier. I honestly thought that Xavier was one of the last places that I'd end up; nonetheless, I accepted it as my next school and was eager to get work on furthering my education. Once I realized that I would not be able to go to my top school, University of California at Berkeley, I realized that Xavier was going to be my stepping stone. My mentality was and still is that if I stay focused, work hard, and handle my business, that I will be able to get into Berkeley. I don't look at my position in a negative light at all; I've made relationships with
