But the decision to go back to college can be extremely difficult. Raising a family and working full-time while going to school makes for a relatively chaotic lifestyle. That’s why nursing programs are an excellent choice. Once you’ve completed the program, passed the necessary exams and earned your certifications, you’re ready to begin…
I want to be the second son in my family to attend and graduate college so I won’t have to get a job that can barely help me get through life. AVID was something I’ve wanted to do, but only got to do for a semester, since I wanted to try other things with limited amount of elective slots that I had, but once I get three electives, I’ll make sure that picking AVID won’t be a semester long for me and instantly regret it when I finally have to start to think about college in my senior year. All I want is to do the best for me if it means that I can learn everything I need to know so I use my full potential once I get accepted and start attending the college I have to choose yet. Going along with the college statement, I’ll know which college I should take if I attend college than hoping that a college one of my older siblings took will have a course that will help me pursue my dream of being a…
Once people graduate from high school, they face one of the biggest decisions in their lives. Whether they want to risk spending money and furthering their education and going to college or a trade school or looking for a medium income job, there is no right or wrong answer. The essay "Should Everyone go to College?" is constantly stressing the point that people with a bachelor's degree statistically are shown to make more money than people with only a high school degree or an associate's degree. Owen and Sawhill says, "When we look at the life time earnings-the sum of earnings over a career-the total premium is $570,000 for a bachelor's degree and $170,000 for an associate's degree" (They Say I Say, pg 211).…
Why are you in College? “You must go to college to succeed in life.” This quote is something my parents would regularly say to me as a kid growing up. I grew up thinking every other person in the room with me at school would also graduate with me because I didn’t think there was another route. When I got to high school and realized some people actually did not intend on going to high school it blew my mind.…
Many things in life can be taken from you, but one thing you have total control over is your education. College is important to me because having an education will give me the opportunity to learn new skills that will not only help me excel in my career field but also in my daily life. Being able to provide for my son means everything to me, and in order to be a good leader and provider I HAVE TO be able to support him. I want him to grow up and be proud of who his mom is. I want him to be able to live in a good community, attend good schools (including college) and also play in sports if he chooses to do so.…
The film entitled “How do I decide?” mainly surrounds the subject of how humans make decisions and how the brain manages this task inside our heads. The narrator explores the journey we take through life making multiple decisions daily which allows us to become more aware of who we really are. When we make even the simplest decision, the many tiny electrical impulses that are located in our brains called neurons are lit up and activated to compete in a “powerful struggle” that helps us to make the best choice. This is a very important conflict that is responsible for all the decisions we make every single day. The brain is a large web of electrical connections and when making a choice, rival networks fight against one another in a war over…
My education has always been important to me. I always try to do the best I can possibly do in everything I do. I have always wanted to go to college. I actual started thinking about all the colleges in the United States and what how reaching a higher level of education could positively affect my future when I was in middle school. Out of all the schools in the United States, why did I, Jessyka Spivey, choose to attend the University of Memphis?…
“Do you plan on going to college?” Is a question commonly asked. The answer depends on the person being asked and if they understand the significance of a college education. The importance of college is increasing more each year; therefore, most people today do not hesitate to answer the question with a definite “of course i am.” For me, the answer is always yes.…
As a young person, choosing what to study is one of the hardest decision you have to make. According to a Washington Post article, “What’s the purpose of college: A job or an education?” by Jeffrey J. Selingo, learning and getting more knowledge about the world used to be a purpose of higher education, but nowadays it switched to getting a job after graduation rather than gaining more knowledge. Education is the most important factor in order to be successful, but lots of people are in college because their parents want them to, while others think that college is the next destination they have to go through after high school. To me, college is the place that teaches us how to think, how to analyze things thoroughly and to pursue a good career…
Before I started college i was fully convinced that you major in college would determine the rest of your life. I was the classic freshman, stressing over what i wanted to major in and if i would be successful in that major. Here I am two years later and I think more differently.…

Education is one of my main values, so choosing the right major is critical. I want to study something that interests me and also something I can apply to society to benefit others. Throughout high school, I have excelled in my science courses and enjoyed doing so. They always made me think harder and encouraged me to dive deeper into the information. I really believe I could make a lifestyle out of learning the sciences and one day have a career based upon this information.…
My chosen major is Computer Science with a business concentration. I have always had an affinity for computers. It seems like on some level they speak to me and I wanted to learn how to speak back in their language. I also am a pretty big gamer and learning how to write and design games is something I have wanted to learn since I was about thirteen years old. Another reason I want to major in computer science is the ongoing proliferation of Internet connected devices and devices with single chip computers in them [1].…
AGE is not a barrier to learn. I chose this topic as there are many people who think that after certain age they cannot study and so they give up. It spoils their career and constraint them from growing. It is human psychology that after age of 25 one cannot study as a person has many household responsibilities and he need to do well in that.…
Many times, I have looked through the mirror, and said “I need to become more.” These words are not because of lack of confidence, but because with my background, I have learned that there is a need to love oneself to love others. I want to be the type of person people look up to, a person of action and a keeper of words. I have analyzed who I am, and how much work I need to do. “It is too late to change my past; therefore, I will strive to become a better individual by not committing the same mistakes and do my best to fight for justice at the given moment.”…
