College Struggles

Throughout my life, I have done several different things in my life that I am not proud of. If I could take back one of those actions, it would probably be when I almost decided not to go to college. I planned on going throughout my entire high school career, but when I graduated, I kept putting it off. I had my mind set that I wanted to wait a year before I went. I was planning on going to Ohio University, but then when my senior year finally got here, I decided I wanted to go to Hocking College. I knew that Hocking had the subject that I wanted to major in, and I also knew that it would be a lot cheaper. I figured if I could go to school and not be piled up in student loans, I would be much better off in the future. I’m glad that I motivated myself to go because I feel like if I would have held off, then I would have never gone. The main reason that I hesitated to go to college was the fact that I did not get along with my dad. My dad has been extremely hard on me throughout my childhood. I thought that maybe it would be better if I would just get a job and move out so I could go on with my life. I ended up getting a job over the summer at Kroger so I could make a little money, but after working there for a couple months and only making minimum wage, I knew I had to go to college so that I could get a good job that paid good money. I have always wanted to make good money to get a nice car and a nice house. I am so excited to see what my future holds after college. I know that if I keep working hard and keep up with my work, then I will end up successful. I never really got good grades throughout high school, but I told myself when I started college that I would keep up on my work and get the best grades possible. I think the reason I struggled so much in high school was because my classes did not really interest me. I could not pay very good attention because the subjects bored me. I was not interested in history
