Opportunity To Go To College

Decent Essays
All through life most people just I cannot wait for the chance to go to college. Awaiting the chance to have more fun and more opportunities to do things that were always looked upon as being mature and cool.

I look back at a time of being 5 years old and dressing up in my dads' shirt to stand out among my friends. The many years of playing house and hopscotch, I never knew that my childhood would end so quickly.

Looking back on the last couple of years of my life I realized that with growing up comes a lot of responsibilities and things that I would have never imagined as a young child. But as I grew into my teen years I learned that TV does not always show what is actually coming.I am not a child anymore, but I miss my childhood

    Ryne Garrison Suddenly I Became Me Looking back now, it is easy to see that I was a very different sort of kid growing up.

    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.…
