Why I Want To Pursue My First Year In College

Entering my first year of college in the fall of 2016 was very stressful, but I believed I found a home for myself for the next four years at Rosemont College. While applying to colleges my senior year of high school, I always thought that I would work better in a smaller environment. I believed that if there was a lower facility to student ratio, I would exceed my full potential. When I arrived at college, I started to notice that my views about school had changed. I no longer wanted a small school and I realized that at a small school, there are very little options for classes. Currently, I feel as though I still have a high school schedule and that the opportunity to plan my classes how I would like is nonexistent. I would also like to be closer to home; I believe I need more support from my family. Also, I am looking for a school with an active residential-life presence, so if a problem were to arise, those who work within the position would be quickly alerted.
I want to graduate with a biology major, and from there, start a dental hygienist program to become a hygienist. Many may ask why I instead plan on pursuing an undergraduate degree when I could alternatively obtain an associate degree in order to reach the dental hygienist requirement. I have also thought of that reasoning myself as I knew that it would be the quickest way to achieve my goal. However, I believe that becoming a hygienist is a short-term goal of mine, as my long-term goals require further education. I want to have experience in the dental office at all the positions; eventually, I want to go back to school for my doctorate in dentistry. Attending college is a huge accomplishment for me because I am the first person in my family to attend college. This is the reason why I believe that if I should experience college, I would like to do it the way I feel most
