Why College Is Important To Me

Improved Essays
Our English teacher Mrs. Parker was given 50,000 to split between two students, to

decide who will get the money we had to write why we deserve the money. Although only two

will get the money this why I deserve it the most. Getting 25,000 will help me out in life more

than the other students. Growing up I had great things happen, yet I also had not so great things

happen. Things were at a point where my brother and I didn’t have to worry about anything, we

just had to live life to the fullest and plan a bright future for ourselves. That mind set is still with

us at a certain extent after things started to change. My parents started to be more helpful to

family, which backed fired on them and us. Those family members stared to be very

Blaming what they done wrong on us. As years

went by the deeper we got in to this hole, which we still haven’t got out of. Seeing the stress my

parents go through is tough many people doesn’t see it but I do. 25,000 will help my life more

then you realize. Just to get my parents stress free and my life where it use to be will make me

pleased. Even though I love my life the way it is, I just want to change a couple of things and o

plus college is around the corner I need the money to help me on my way.

Since I get drove by my parents everywhere, I decided to go to a used car lot to get me a

2009 Acura TL Base. The car is silver with four doors and it has on 33,000 miles on it. With all

that I spent 16,000 no tax needed, because I came in with good credit and a good down payment

amount I got a good deal on the car. Since I’m starting college soon a car was needed. To go

along with my new car I got a beautiful apartment for $2,170 in Austin, Texas. I mean Austin is

the place to be with all the beauty. It comes with everything I need like a nice view, a walk-in

closet, a spacious kitchen, and Wi-Fi. I also bought a laptop for $299, food for $321, a

Knowing that the apartment

comes with the furniture already, I just wanted to put a little spin on things for my home won’t

look like everybody else’s. With the items I bought it gave a little more flare. Yet, I can’t move

nowhere and not get a clean, new wardrobe to add on to the wardrobe that I have already. I spent

2955.07 on clothes and shoes to spread out in my closets. With a new lifestyle change hopefully

going to college down here will be a satisfying adventure. To go along with my home I had to

buy furry friends to accompany me on this journey. I bought three dogs a Feist and two Boxer

for $240.75 from the animal shelter. They names are Snooky, Jersey, and Cherry Berry. Animals,

which I love, just make everything a breeze. I mean three dogs are a hand full, but I think I can

handle it. To take a break from my busy new chapter my family and I will be going on vacation

to Barbados. A warm September evening with a cold drink while looking nice on the warm

Barbados sand it’s a dream that I can imagine. For the hotels rooms plus flight was $1239.06 and

I can’t forget the $6.95 that I will spend on junk food on the way to the airport. A stress free

    When my husband and I were dating, as well as in our first few years of marriage, we used to travel often.

For someone like myself who uses the pivot transfer and is only 5' tall, if that, this can be a real challenge. Now, we have another challenge that has made traveling almost impossible and extremely frustrating for both of us.…
