What are the reasons why you are attending college?
Attending college doesn’t means that you are smart. Not smart as in smart but smart as you choose the right way. The way you want to be successful in the future or to be a breadwinner of the family. You come to school because you believe that you can make a difference in your community. This essay examines or analyzes the cause and effects of learning new cultures, class assessments, and experience college life.
The first reason is learning new culture. This is a great example of our own college here at the national campus. There are over 750 students from the four FSM states attending the college every semester and these students came from bi-lingual and multi-lingual backgrounds. These students come together not just to graduate but to learn different cultures of all the states. A best way to capture all these things is during the cultural day. All states including the outer islands of Pohnpei come together to perform their culture. Culture is a very important thing to us Micronesians. For example in Pohnpei, Sakau is used to solve problems between families or traditional leaders.
The second reason of going to college is class assessments. At home, we have many things to do. We do farming, taking care of family, fishing, etc. But it is also important to go to college to learn things other things like Math, English and Computer because we cannot depend or the land itself at least we know something else. For example, if we want to conduct a research about our breadfruit we need math (statistics), English and computer skills. We need math or statistics to keep our data correct and neat. We also need English and computer skills to keep the record. And it is shame when other foreign people tell us the news about our breadfruit. This is the time we need to stand up lead our people. Doing this might help increase our gross domestic
