Going To College

Decent Essays
Honestly I didn't want to go to college nor was I a fan of the idea of it but with a need to go these days, I have committed to getting my general studies done at Chemeketa community college. The idea of going to college for me isn't the brightest but it is one of the best as it can help me figure out what I want along with actually getting a sense of what I should study. Having no idea of what to do for a living is why college will help me in figuring it out as many of the people I've talked to have said to not worry about it now and go on with college as it would be a eye opener. I am faithful that college will have the atmosphere I need to find a career that can be better of me and my family as they are the biggest contributor to why I have

    Are you sure the reason for not going to college is because it’s a waste of time and money or because it’s to challenging for you. Going to college is a great opportunity to succeed in life. Not saying you can’t succeed in the future without college, I’m saying it would be a lot easier than not going and trying to start a career. At least that’s what I think, I’m only 14 in high school and obviously I haven’t been college or had paying job, but I conversate with a lot of teachers and family members to know how life without college would be. College might be difficult, time consuming and a lot of money, but it’s worth it.…

    I’ve always been a firm believer that college is what you make out of it. Me being 18 and just starting college I finally see how the world really is, it’s as if a cup of hot water had been thrown in my direction randomly, in other words I wasn’t ready. High school was a cake walk for everyone including myself simply because there wasn’t a huge amount of money over your head after you got your diploma. Just the thought of having a debt makes me cringe and it pushes me to use the time and the opportunity I have much smarter. College is one big investment in yourself and it makes me believe that I can accomplish more than I thought I could just a few months ago.…

    A lot of people debate over whether college is beneficial or not. Well in a honest sense the answer to that is what do you want out of life? A highly placed job, lowly placed job? That is what decides whether college is for you or not. I honestly don’t feel the want for a high placed job, a job as a CEO, a job as a scientist, or an engineer.…

    Everyone should not be forced to attend college because it is expensive for some students and they might be neither motivated nor interested in it. Do something that is affordable and also interests and motivates you to do. Do not do something because you are told you or you are supposed to; do something that excites you. Every person is unique. If a college type career does not present your happiness, then find a career that does because “higher education is not the key to happiness and success for every person.”…

    I cannot wait to experience college. As a child, my favorite video game was The Sims 2 University Life, and I constantly created new Sims to replay the college experience. My Sims always stayed up studying, and I thought that was an accurate depiction of college. But as I grew up, I realized that there is more to college than studying in hopes of getting a high paying job. College is where I hope to have fun and experience many unique opportunities.…

    I talked to one of the people giving a talk, and he said, ”School is very important. You should go to college because it will help you succeed in life and make your life better.” At that time I thought I never wanted to go to college because I thought it would be pointless, but I understand now that he was right. As I grew older, I gradually realized that college can help me in so many ways. I would love to experience college and learn new things and be in a new environment.…
