    Robert Tew once said, “Challenge yourself every day to do better and be better. Remember, growth starts with a decision to move beyond your present circumstances.” I have enjoyed my past three years at Guilford Technical Community College, but I believe it is time to move on to bigger and better things. Although, I will miss the comfort of being at home, I would like to move on to an institution that challenges me like GTCC has not. GTCC has offered me so much, but I cannot obtain a bachelor’s diploma from a two-year institution.…

    Applying to college as a transfer student is something I never would have thought was a possibility if one we to ask my high school freshman self. That is because I never would have been able to identify the potential positive outcomes that arise from going to a community college and then attempting to transfer out to a four year. Transferring has allowed me to become a much more competitive applicant than I would’ve been as a freshman applicant. In turn this has allowed me to consider more prestigious universities throughout the application process. Another major factor in my decision to transfer is that I have immigrant parents who have to get three kids through college.…

    Well, honestly believe it or not the main reason is because I love to learn. Since I was a little kid I always wanted to expand my knowledge so I could jump into any type of conversation and express my opinion, therefore books and encyclopedias were my best friends. But besides personal satisfaction and becoming well educated there is also a second reason for me to go to college and that is to acquire the necessary knowledge to find a good job and be financially successful in life. Having a degree I think is really the only way to move up, I have seen very knowledgeable people get stuck and not being able to climb the corporate ladder just because they do not have a degree. College is definitely the place to achieve personal goals as well as…
