Why I M Going To College
I am going to college optimistically to pursue a career in Nursing. But why? I am going to college to explore myself and find out who I really am; Also to develop the skills I need to compete in a tough academic job market so I can pursue my passion particularly for the rest of my life. My college education will help me prepare for and ultimately obtain my dream job. I am going to college to pursue my education doing what I love; learning. There is nothing better than learning something new every single day. Most people do not enjoy going to school and could care less about how they do in school; However, I am one of the few people who loves going to school and finding more things out about the world that are going to help me further my education to be successful. I have a profound passion for the subjects I want to study. Science and Math are my two favorite subjects. It's my greatest motive, so college is like utopia to me in that respect, more so than high school. Also college does increase your earning power. I don't care much about money as much as I do about having a certain kind of life. …show more content…

I am one of the people who needs the financial help, so it is important to me that I do what I can to be able to afford tuition and fees. I will use the money from this scholarship to help pay for my tuition so that I will be less in debt later in

    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.

    Throughout my time in high school I had never really given much thought into what I wanted to do once I graduated. I knew I was going to be going to some university to pursue a degree, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go. It wasn’t until I took AP Computer Science in 11th grade that I decided that pursing a degree in Computer Science was the right thing for me. This type of work was something that I greatly enjoyed and through computer science I would be able to solve problems in creative ways. When applying for colleges I didn’t get into the University of Florida. This was my top pick and for months I was looking forward to the possibility of attending there. I didn’t let that get me down because I still had plenty…

    College is one of the periods of life where there is most growth, both personally and academically. Going to college is a very challenging yet rewarding experience. It brings people out of their comfort zones personally, whereas academically, people get to focus more on what they are good at.
