Why did you choose to enroll in college and pursue your particular program of study?

I decided to return to college to pursue my career as a dental assistant and have an improvement in my education. It seemed to be a step closer to achieving my professional and personal goals. Another reason was that I wanted to have a better education than just a high school diploma. My ultimate goal is to be a provider and role model for my daughter Isabella. My next goal is to be dependent and to help my family financially. I know that when I finish my career I will have many more job opportunities that I have now.
My main reason for wanting to go to college is that I wanted to have a better life. I wasted alot of time without studying anything, it was time for a major change. Not only made the decision to return to college for myself but also for my daughter Isabella, she deserves a better life. I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck, just making the minimum. Not everyone can go to college to better themselves, I am fortunate to have this opportunity to be a better person.
Another reason why I decided to study in college is because my recent experience of finding a good job, they only take seriously people, who have a college degree. I do not want to be working in restaurants as a waitress or other similar work, and barely having enough money to help my family financially. Getting my degree in Dental Assistant would greatly help to get a job that I really like and have the desire to go every day.
This decision to return to college was the best decision I have made in all time. I know it's a hard work to achieve my goal, but with dedication I’ll make it. So far, I like college. At the end of everything really will be worth it and I will become the person who I want to be.

    I decided to return to school for personal reasons. Returning to school is something that I have thought of doing for a very long time. I guess you could just say that I have been very lazy and procrastinated for a long time. I tried to go to college right out of high school but it did not work out. I thought it was all fun and games and ended up flunking out. I was headed down the wrong path and working in a dead end job. I decided it was time to do something with my life. I wanted to get out of my dead end job. I am now ready to take this important step in my life. I knew it would help me to grow as a person. Most of all I want to better me as a person.

    I feel the most important reasons for me to go to college is making my whole family proud of me and becoming a better role model for my daughter. After I graduated high school I made the decision to not go to college, and get straight to working. My family was disappointed that I made that decision. I went to work for my family’s business and thought that I would have a good and stable career for life. I know that once I get my degree that I will make them proud. My daughter is now 6 months old and hopefully she will realize it is easier to attend college earlier in life. I think that trying to attend college at the age of 31, is twice the struggle than going to college right after graduating high school. It is twice the struggle because you have to relearn the basic school concepts that you already have fresh in your…

I’ve heard that in average, if you get a college education you earn nearly twice as much as those with only a highschool diploma. Another reason i would like to go to college is because it will help you learn skills before employment, this is because many college programs allow students to explore and industry before they are even employed.…

    Returning to school was a big decision for me, although it was a rather hasty one. I have wanted to return for many years to seek an actual degree; however I just didn’t have the motivation. Being turned down for a promotion gave me the motivation I needed. There are obstacles and lifestyle changes for anyone returning to school. The issue is how you handle them and looking toward the benefits of finishing school. Obstacles and lifestyle changes are hard to make when returning to school, but the benefits are so rewarding.…

    Returning to school is hard, but returning at age 43 is the hardest decision that I have ever made in my life. Growing up I always felt that I was never smart enough to advance myself in anything, yet alone school. After working many jobs and not climbing fast enough or having the required qualifications for opportunities; I have decided to return to school because I want to make a better life not only for myself, but also for my family. I do not want to have any regrets about not finishing school or “ I should have done this “ while I was younger. I want to be able to provide for my present and future family, and not being able to give them the things they need and want is a big concern of mine.…

    The reason why I'm in college is because I want a better future for myself and to show my family that I can become somebody one day. Sometimes I would say to myself like “why am I even here? This place is not the place for me “. In other words college is not for everybody because not everyone who lives with their parents who can afford for tuition for college. But for me I realize that staying alone and not doing nothing for me was the biggest mistake I ever made as young adult at the age of nineteen. Soon as I turn 20 I decided that it was time for me to do something that’s going to be right for myself which was working and going to college. The first day of me attending college was amazing meeting new people and getting to know others such as colleagues.…

    I have many goals that I have set for myself over the course of my life. Most of these goals I have set for myself, I have achieved with hard work and dedication. One of my many goals I had set for myself before coming into the military was to further my education. I probably would have never made it through the first semester of college, lacking the proper discipline and being immature I decided to join the United States Air Force. I thought it was a good idea to get the Air Force to pay for my education and I would be able to see the world. Though I joined the Military to further my education it took my 10 long years to start on my goal. I would always put college off till next year or later. With the help of a couple of friends I decided to return to school this year and chose the University of Phoenix as my decision.…
