Personal Statement: I Am Ready For College

I am ready for college. This is because readiness is not about age or intelligence. Readiness is about desire and maturity. Maturity can come in all forms, whether it’s turning in your schoolwork in time, feeding animals, or even thinking about long term consequences of a situation or decision. You can be 85 or haver an IQ of 400 but if you don't desire something enough you will fail; or if your not mature enough you could potentially not know how to work for your goals or work for success. which is often necessary for not only high school and college but simple in the day to day life. instead, you might sit back and feel you have no need to study or work hard, resulting in failure like I mentioned earlier. An example of
that would be my father. He was very intelligent, but he didn't have enough desire or maturity to work hard or even turn in work. In result, he ended up failing his classes. I, however, have the desire and maturity to be called "ready". I want to have this education under my belt. This, in turn, will help raise my chances for a field, in my desired subject; science. I also have the maturity to establish a good work ethic and healthy study habits, in which will allow me to succeed. I do believe I am ready for college and the Westgate high school program. I am ready because readiness is about desire and maturity. I undergo both these traits. Therefore I believe I am ready for college.
