Why Is College Important To Me

Improved Essays
Dave Carson’s talk to my public relations class really inspired me and gave me a different perspective on my life and what I 'm doing with it. What really caught my attention was how he talked about how Coe is a business and how that it’s preparing us for the rest of our lives. I have had some doubts about Coe this year, but him coming and speaking to us about how well Coe prepares you for the future and all the amazing opportunities Coe has really made me come to a conclusion that Coe is the right place for me. I loved how he talked about how most majors don 't determine what job you could have after college. There are so many possibilities and different directions you can go in with the different majors available here at Coe. That is one thing that scared me about choosing a major, because I felt like it determined the rest of my life. From Dave Carson’s talk, I realized that there are endless of possibilities and jobs out there and it doesn 't necessarily matter what specific major you 're in, you can do anything and everything if you believe in yourself and take all the opportunities Coe has given you. The quote “You will miss 100% of the shots you don 't take” is a quote that I also really like. He talked about how this quote is an essential part of being in college taking risks, and …show more content…
There are no specific changes I have towards Coe College as a whole that I can think of that have really stuck out to me. I think Coe is amazing academically, socially, and just an all around great school to go to and graduate from. I really don 't have any complaints besides something as small as the food. That’s literally all I would like to see change. Having more healthy options, and more of a variety would be a good thing to see implemented, but other than that I really do love it here. I’m happy my decision to come here and I can’t wait for the next couple years here and taking all the opportunities Coe has to offer

    As a high school senior, the question I am most used to hearing is, “where do you want to go to college,” and my habitual response is the Wharton Undergraduate School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. But I think that the more apt question is “why do you want to go to college?” Personally, I want to learn. The Wharton motto of “knowledge for action” embodies this desire to learn and use this knowledge to pursue a career in something that engages and interests me. I am an aspiring investment banker and international business executive and am intrigued by mergers and acquisitions, investment banking from an international perspective, and the effect of international events on the global economy and the ensuing effect on corporations.…

    Advice Dated as College Itself Let’s retire the exhausted mantra, “You need to go to college to be successful.” For many incoming freshman, four years of meticulous studying in high school have fallen short in helping to pick a major. While the world opens its arms to hard working high school graduates, many students have given little thought to a career path, while some are simply burnt out by school. Liz Freedman is the author of “The Developmental Disconnect in Choosing a Major”, an online article published on Penn State’s academic advisory journal “The Mentor.” In her article, Freedman cites a number of statistics such as the 20%-50% of students entering college as “undecided”, and the 75% of students who change their major at least once.…
