Why i choose Southwest
As a graduating senior I was under a lot of pressure trying to decide which college was best for me. I didn’t know where I wanted to attend mainly because I didn’t know what I wanted to major in. I chose Southwest Tennessee Community College for a few reasons; not knowing what I wanted to major in, flexible schedules, support services, and being able to transfer credits over to any four year University. Not knowing what I wanted to major in had held me back from going to a University. I wanted to transition into college from high school by going to Southwest. Along with the transition I wanted some time to figure out what it is I want to do in the future. Going to Southwest allows me to do just that and further my education next year at a four year University. Also financially, choosing Southwest for my first year is more affordable for me and allows me to explore my interests of study. While being a full time student, I also have many responsibilities. Having responsibilities takes up a lot of time. Southwest provides many flexible schedules and numerous support services to allow me to balance my school work with my job and my family obligations. The teachers primary focus and attention is on the students to help them achieve and get to know them better with smaller class sizes.

There are many paths and plans you can follow to get to where you want to be. Once I know what I want to major in, Southwest will let me transfer my credits over to a four year University. It’s easy to further your education anywhere after Southwest. It also allows me a chance to higher my grade point average for scholarships. The counselors are here for the students for guidance and help to make sure we get where we want to be. I’m glad I chose Southwest Tennessee Community College for my first year. Southwest allows me to do everything that I need to do. I’m perusing a higher education at a fraction of the cost, while exploring my options and interests to find

    Peaceful resistance to rules and regulations among society goes down historically as something so inevitably iconic as an occurrence known as civil disobedience. It is no doubt that civil disobedience, the act of opposing a law deemed unjust and peacefully disobeying it henceforth, spurs such great controversy in our society. Civil disobedience impacts society in a positive manner that does not hinder nor deteriorate the good name of the just nation that is home, but moreover poses as an influence for what is better accepted by humans as lawful.…

    Maybe you don't know what you want from life, but we all know we want to be successful. As I oscillated between a few high schools I knew I wanted to leave a mark on the world, because being known is amazing. I know how to get it, I know what I have to do to get it, and I know where I needed to be to get it. I decided to attend BCTHS after my amble tour through the building. At that point I believed it would make me successful, and I knew I could endure this challenge on my own. I knew that there will be competition, but I also knew that I will still be successful. Success to me means going to a great college, and one day be well known for the creativity in my art and photography. I wanted to start ahead of the competition, and I knew I couldn't do this unless I attend BCTHS, especially when my two favorite career classes are dovetailed as one.…

What really made me think my decision and choice over was because my older brothers and sister, who graduated high school before me and took early college classes, were very successful in the courses they took. As a result, they had great success in college too, graduating earlier than the average of most people…
