College. What an important word. A word that so many people say. A word I have heard so many times. A word that I have always known will be a part of my future. A perpetual goal of mine. Now, I’m thrilled to be getting a chance to start earlier than I had imagined.
I have excellent attendance at school. I have never missed the day of a test, never turned in late homework, and I make sure to get all of my homework done even if I am sick. I put a deep emphasis on school. I realize the importance of exceptional grades, but not only that. I feel that the knowledge I am learning now will help guide me through the rest of my life.
