    For the majority of my life before coming to Texas A&M, I knew that I had to figure out a way to get here. Getting a college education would be my escape route to deviate away from becoming a low income family like my mother and her previous generations. My mother did the best she could to take of her three children by herself, but like many single parent households she struggled to do so. Due to my mom being the sole bread winner, there was often not enough money to maintain our household. I remember many days when we were only able to eat one meal a day that consisted either of half a chicken sandwich shared between my sister and I, or just a pack of saltine crackers.…

    Many sociological causes influenced my decision to attend college and more importantly, Clemson University. Factors such as family, class, gender, culture, race and age all played major and minor roles in why I am here today.

As I entered my senior year of high school, this played a major role as I only applied to two colleges, Mississippi State University being the other. Upon receiving my acceptance letter to Clemson, the choice was abundantly clear…

    I now know ultimately helping my family in the long run means I need to do what makes me happy; and helping people that are less fortunate than I was is what motivates me to become better. When I started taking classes again to prepare for graduate school, I have already been graduated for a while and I knew the challenges that would come with competing with a younger, intellectual, driven crowd. It was definitely a challenge, but overall rewarding experience, because I met professors who not only stimulated my mind to think out of the box, but have taught me to believe in myself, and that hard work does pay off. Anytime my family runs into a situation I felt like I had to pick up all the pieces and fix it, but this past year my mom has been my backbone. She has encouraged and supported me to stop focusing on everything and everyone else and to pursue my goals and dreams.…

    The future lies in the hands of those currently in school. Arguably, the most important time is college when one has to choose which career path to pursue. As a junior in high school, I can say that I am definitely feeling the societal pressures to build up a good résumé for colleges to see my full potential. With all the standardized tests, workshops, and advice from teachers and peers since elementary school, it has been instilled in our minds that the standard way of life is to attend elementary school, then high school, then a postsecondary education. While higher education does come with an expensive price tag, I have always been told that those with a college degree make more money than those with just a high school diploma.…
