Within my community, no one has graduated from college since they usually follow the wrong path. Being surround by drug dealers, alcoholics, and gang members has motivated me to follow a different path. A path that will guarantee success in my future. In fact, the reason why I’m planning on attending college is so that I can get a career that will offer me a decent job. I want a better future for myself; I do not want to end up like the people who surround my community since they basically fell into the wrong addictions because of financial needs. I do not want that to become an obstacle throughout my future. Therefore, I'm planning to attend college to have a better future.
