The Importance of a College Education You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give" (Winston Churchill‚ circa 1940) Learning the importance of getting a good college education did not come to me until I was 31 years old. Many of my friends‚ and colleagues and I were of the same age‚ however they were far beyond me in educational levels.

In middle school‚ I never really had any friends that I could share my experiences with. We were all divided and had our own groups. For example‚ there was the popular group‚ the sports group‚ the leaders‚ childhood friends‚ and then there was me all alone at lunch. As weird as it was‚ my close friends at the time were my teachers‚ cafeteria staff‚ and custodians as they were always there for me. Often feeling lonely‚ secluded and shy‚ when I

Going through life‚ we as humans face many obstacles and conflicts. Some thing change a person’s perspective and some things don’t. This something changed my life so suddenly‚ it wasn’t until recently that I realized how big of an impact it had made on my life.

In 2014 while coming to this school I wasn’t in a good place mentally. I had been struggling with depressive tendencies for a number years prior to my freshman year. However‚ 9th grade was essentially my breaking point. Overall‚ the year isn’t something I’m proud of but it has and will continue to influence who I am today. My best friend at the time wasn’t a good person either but for different reasons. She did everything in her power to bring me down in order to feel better about herself and I allowed

Ever since elementary school I have been very dedicated to my school work and as I grew up I always had my mind set on college. My family has never really been the role model type which always made me push myself even harder to make a better name for myself and not end up how most of my family has. I’m not going to lie‚ I have let a few things slip because I piled a lot on myself which is no excuse. Whether or not my grades have always been perfect or if I have the highest GPA or class rank I have

With tears running down my face in a sloppy manner I asked “Will I ever be able to have kids‚” a question no sixth grade girl should ever have to ask. When I was twelve I had a cyst that flipped my ovary around with its weight‚ the doctor said she may need to remove my entire ovary. Being a silly pre-teen at the time‚ with no formal sexual education class‚ I had no idea one ovary was all you needed.

makes sense. Based on this learning style my most productive way to process information about college is to visit their website and take in as much information as I can. Then as I have that information I will contact the school by phone or by email to talk about the little things that I did not see on the website‚ and what would be the best way to approach the goal I want to reach in my life. In college I am mostly worried about having a good relationship with my professors‚ and knowing the things they

As the time for my new journey in college arrives‚ I plan to participate in as many activities as possible.

I also wasn’t pushed by anyone to get better; my biological parents never took the time to sit down and help me with my reading. Throughout my younger years I was reluctant to go to school because I would get teased by my classmates. Reading was not always one of my favorite things to do‚ but one book changed it all.
