One of the reasons was for what they can offer to you, how much they can help you out within and after you have completed the program. I mean this school has so much to offer to its students, it’s just awesome. The trade I am interested in is computer technology.

This is understandable because nowadays computers are all around us and we need people to fix their problems more than we have ever had to in the past.…

    My Motivation: What motivates me the most to pursue a college degree is that I will be the first person in my family to receive one. My grandmother is the backbone behind this motivation because she was always making sure that academics came first in my life. There was rarely a day that I would come home and she would not ask me questions about my homework, asking what I learned in school, or even looked over my homework. As I got older, she made sure I was a part of a college prep program called AVID from 6th-12th grade and that definitely made a difference for me. It helped me understand the importance of continuing your education and how beneficial it can be to succeeding in life.…
