Why I Went Back To College

Decent Essays
I went back to college for a couple of reasons. First of all, is my kids inspired me to be the best man I could ever be.
My kids are the best things that have happened in my life, and in return I want them to feel that I am the best thing that has happened to them, so I want to be a good inspiration to them.
Another reason is I want to financially support my relatives who stick with us through the bad times. When my mother was pregnant with me, my father passed away leaving her a big hole to fill. But we have relatives who stick with us through the hard times. If I get a degree in college, I can be financially stable and by that I could financially support my relatives.
And last but not the least I want to become an accountant.
Now that I know
