Why College?

After high school is over and done with, here comes everyone with their opinions and suggestions. Some people might say "Just get a job!", while others might say "Go to college!". Personally, I had my mind set on going to college. There was no excuses for me. I knew that without some college education, I wasn't set on the things I really wanted to do. After graduating from high school, I knew obtaining a degree from college was the next achievement. So, the big question is WHY COLLEGE? College is the most important expect of life. To do great things in life, you have to go! No exceptions! Yes, there is some people with great jobs that hasn't had any college education. But, this is the REAL world. You either work your way to the top or you start at the top. Unfortunately, most of us work our way to the top. How can you do that? Ding! Ding! College! The reason I chose college is simply because I have no other choice. Either it's college or it's working, doing something I don't want to. I know that with college education, I can do anything in this world. The more college education you get, you're liable to have a job. College is here to prepare you. Life is so much different now, then years ago. You have to have that degree, to get that "good job". Just like high school is to prepare you for college. Life works in cycles. You're always working to better yourself. What better way, than to get more education? Most people think they'll struggle a whole lot in college. When really, college is fun! You meet all sorts of people. You get to learn more about each other's cultures. You get to participate in things you never thought you could. They see other people failing, and sometimes just getting thrown out. I learnt that you should never let someone's life experiences keep you from doing the things you really want to do. If so, you'll be doing nothing your whole life. I'm ready for this journey, even if it takes everything to make it through this "college life". I want to be able to make my parents happy after I finish college. My mom had some college education. She did some of the things she wanted to do, but didn't quite get to her main purpose. My grandparents couldn't even finish high school. They would love to see me earn my degree. After all I'm responsible for my life, my decisions, and my education. WHY COLLEGE? I want a career! I want money! I want to take care of my family! And I definitely want to take care of myself!
