College Expectations
Ever since I was a child, I’ve always known that I was going to get a college education. Though I unsure of what I wanted to do with my life as a kid, my parents always encouraged me to become more aware of the different things I could do if I were to get a college education. My parents, along with other family members and friends, helped me look over various professions throughout my teen years to try and help me figure out what it was, or is, that I want to major in college. Growing up with parents that didn’t have the chance to go to high school, I was determined to make them proud, and make the journey and all the sacrifices they made worth it.

I look forward to learning how to be a better student, and improving my social skills to create unbreakable bonds with my classmates and roommates. I’m looking to better myself as an employee to learn and understand different tasks and be able to assist when needed. I am concerned about losing people in my life that have always been there for me, I don’t want to lose contact and not talk to them anymore. Because I know that I am going to get really busy in the upcoming years and won’t have time to talk to any of them the way I did before. I’m scared of failing, of failing my parents and others. I feel that my family and friends back home have such high expectations for me, and I fear I will not meet those expectations. I’m concerned that I won’t get the hang of living on campus and being away from my family. If there is one thing I really hate, is being disappointed or disappointing someone that cares for me, I am scared that I won’t be able to meet what is expected of me education wise. The overwhelming feeling of being apart from my family and the feeling of having so many things to do will be very difficult to do and I am concerned that I won’t become used to the environment. Also, I fear being in debt for a while after I graduate and not being financially stable. I have both good and bad expectations for the upcoming four years as a student at MSMU, from growing as a student, to losing friends and contact with loved
