A New Chapter
In order to lean more and enhance employment opportunities, then college is a must. Also, College will help students build knowledge, build self-confidence, improve communication skills, gain independence, explore more options, and learn more about themselves. My mother is the reason why I attend college. My mother did not go to college. She does not have many options about jobs, so she does nails, and having to do something that she does not like makes her life awful. She has been through a lot of difficulty of finding a new job because she does not have a college degree. She always told me that if time could go back she would continue her education, and I should study and go to college. As time past, that idea stuck in my head. Knowledge is the key to success.

Also, my grammar and writing have improved a lot because I took a grammar class and an English 101 class.

I have heard many stories about people who had a hard time finding a job without a college degree or they could not make enough money. For an example, one of my best friends named Skylar. Her mother did not have a college degree. She worked a CVS for a couple years, but she quitted because of some dramas. Then it was so hard for her to find a job. Fortunately, one of the gas station in Troy hired her but not as a full time employee. Skylar’s family also struggled with money since her mom could not find a fulltime well paying job. Almost every job required a degree nowadays. One of my distant cousins named John. He graduated at Southern Illinois University of Edwardsville two years ago. John major was information technology.
