Why I Chose College

Improved Essays
Education has been a tremendous part of providing me the knowledge necessary to continue everyday goals. Growing up in a household whose first language is not English, I was determined to be successful to represent my family. Others would be able to impress their parents with talents such as playing sports, singing, drawing, etc., but I was not given a vocal like an angel nor the skills to compete on the field with other teams. Given those skills, they were granted scholarships and offers to represent their choice college. I was not born in a wealthy family, or else I would've started an investment. Lacking those skills gave me nothing to pass time nor make connections with others, therefore I spent my times with books and games. In high school,

    I decided to apply to this University because I wanted to be a student of a college that would not only give me the information that I need to be successful in my future career, but would also give me life experiences and prepare me for living in the world as an adult. I grew up in a small town and I want a change of scenery. I want to have more opportunities to meet and work with a variety of people and I believe that this college can give me these opportunities because it is a large, public college. I like that this college is in a more urban setting instead of a city and that it is not too far away from home. Although this is a larger school, the class sizes are not too big, so I would still be able to have one-on-one time with the teacher…

    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.…

    It has always been a shared dream of both my parents and I for me to attend a prestigious college and acquire an education well beyond theirs. Neither of my parents received the opportunity to attend a four-year university due to financial reasons.

    In these nineteen years of my life and being a college student for about two years, the one thing that I have come to realize is that getting a higher education from a good college is the key to success. I was raised mostly by my grandparents and my single mother while growing up. My grandma continued her education at Central Arizona College for her certificate in education, while my grandpa only obtained his high school diploma. My parents and grandparents come from poor families and not many college graduates. Even though they didn’t have any sort of college fund set aside for me they always tried to help me with my homework and give me words of wisdom and encouragement.…
