Why College Is Important
I attend college for various reasons; college education is important to me because I want to become an educated person, develop a career, increase my personal satisfaction, to meet new people and experience the culture. My interest in psychology led me to a quote by Abraham Lincoln, “I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have." This inspires my passion for psychology because I want to help other people be the best they can be. Also, receiving a college education will make my husband and family proud.
First of all, I would love to be an educated person because I want to learn about the world around me. One of my friends who studies chemistry told me that green tea reduces a stomach infection. Like that example, I want to have knowledge about psychology. I want to learn in depth about one subject and contribute to society. One day I might discover something new in psychology. Before I came to America, I worked at pharmacy for three years. I had many patients who had psychological problems. I was really curious about the illnesses: why do they have dysthymia, paranoia, schizoid or panic attacks. I would love to research about their reasons and find a solution besides the medication. For the future, I can be an educated mother. I want to be aware of everything about my kids. Help them for social life, school, and religious things.
Secondly, developing my career is a really important thing in my life. I want to able to help people through my profession as a psychologist. When I came to the United States, I was alone. My husband was so busy and I did not have friends. I stayed at home for a long time and I felt depressed. I ate too much, slept hours and hours, and gained too much weight. If a professional helped me I might not have those problems. Also, I would love to have a well-paid profession. Having a good career brings you so many opportunities in your life. That is why I am taking psychology classes to be a valuable

    The pursuit of a higher education has never been high on my priority list. Armed with barely an eighth grade education and tremendous ambition, I was able to achieve professional success in the absence of a college education. My heroes have always been men who have achieved great success with out an education; Henry Ford, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson. With the recent downturn in the economy and I found my self seeking employment I realized that not only was I was missing many opportunities due to my lack of a degree, but if I had a degree it is highly possible that I might have been retained from a previous employer as opposed to being laid off. Obtaining a college degree will allow me to be more competitive in the market place, provide me with a great sense of achievement and personal fulfillment, gain more knowledge, and challenge me intellectually.…

    Do you have dreams? Well, I certainly do! I always had dreams of becoming a successful person in life, wealthy, working in a plush corner office, with all the trappings enjoyed by a senior executive! Now, dreams are good, provided we work on them, plan our goals accordingly, work towards those goals in a focused manner, and last but not the least, be passionate, motivated and persistent, in doing all it takes to achieve them. I would like to give below one of my favorite quotes by Mr. Paul J Meyer, which goes as follows. Quote: “Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.” – Late Paul J Meyer, Founder and owner of Leadership Management International. Unquote. One of the most important goals in my mission to achieve my dreams is to undergo formal college education. In fact, it is one of my most important goals. The ongoing paragraphs shall elucidate my thoughts on this. I shall first start with basic education, and its importance, before moving on to college education, and its importance to me.…
