Decent Essays
Achieving Goals to Succeed Choosing whether or not to go onto college is a daunting question that many people face; I juggled the thought around in my mind and ultimately decided it was the best choice. I chose to go onto college and work on getting a degree after I had my first child. Looking at him, I knew he deserved the best life possible and getting a degree will help make that possible. It will give my children a higher chance of graduating high school and as well go onto college.
