Being the first child in my immediate family to actually attend college, I plan on a rewarding and prosperous future with no limits. My future consist of attending Georgia Tech, and experience what college is like while receiving my bachelor's as well as master's degree in Aerospace Engineering. I will take internships at some Aerospace Engineering companies to be exposed to what to expect in my career field. I also plan on attaining my pilots license while at Georgia Tech through the YJFC to help me in my career field. After I complete my academic career and am satisfied I will apply for jobs at esteemed companies such as, Boeing, Space X, and NASA.…
A reason why I would want to go to college would because it would help get me to places I want to be in life such as helping me get a good paying job or th position I would want. Another reason why I want to go to college would also be because I want to see what it is like to attend a college and at least try it out. While in college I hope to work part time to earn some sort of income as well but if I am going to be working it is only going to be a short term job till I earn the degree I would need and land a job as either a preschool or daycare assistant. I chose to become a preschool teacher/ daycare assistant because I love working with kids and feel like I would have the things I would need to qualify me in becoming those things such…
For this reason, is why I need to attend college. To render the immense sacrifices my parents endured in order to come to this country, signify something. Enrolling in college and graduating with a degree is one of the best ways I can repay everything they did for me. Today, I stand close to realizing one of the goals I set so long ago: being recognized as the Valedictorian of my class and graduating under the Distinguished…
Additionally, I hope by becoming a college student I can create a positive impact on my family and make a genuine difference within my career. My first reason for attending college is to become the first-generation in my family to receive a college degree. Unfortunately, nobody in my family has ever attended college. As a result, it has caused both emotional and…
I have chosen to apply to the University of Central Florida because it will provide great opportunities out of school and while I’m still in school. Another reason I have chosen to apply is because it is far enough away from home to where I can gain my independence and find who I am without my parents around and because it is close enough to where in the event of an emergency I can still be home fairly quickly. In my life there has been multiple obstacles/bumps in the road in both my academic and personal life. Staring with my academic obstacles, both my elementary and middle school were not the best and left me with many gaps in my education, such as in math and science.…
As a high school senior, the question I am most used to hearing is, “where do you want to go to college,” and my habitual response is the Wharton Undergraduate School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. But I think that the more apt question is “why do you want to go to college?” Personally, I want to learn. The Wharton motto of “knowledge for action” embodies this desire to learn and use this knowledge to pursue a career in something that engages and interests me. I am an aspiring investment banker and international business executive and am intrigued by mergers and acquisitions, investment banking from an international perspective, and the effect of international events on the global economy and the ensuing effect on corporations.…
I always wanted a positive life so finding an outstanding school was a priority for me.

For many years, I had an interest in math in which I chose finance.…

In my admittedly vague future plans, there was never a question mark next to college. Every career choice idea that intrigued me required a degree, so college was a given. However, I never thought about why I wanted to attend college. The obvious answer is that I need a degree. More than that, however, I want to learn and grow in the knowledge that I obtain at college.…

Which college are you attending? What degree are you going to be majoring in? What do you mean you're not going to college? These are questions all high school students are asked constantly. American society focuses on college like it’s a plague.…
“Why attending College?” “If you aspire to become an exceptional human being and accomplish your dreams, you need to conclude your education,” my mother repeats constantly. Certainly, it is impossible to accomplish the most substantial goals in our lives without making significant efforts. On my personal experience, when I was a child my family educated me on how important college was in order to fulfill my expectations. The reasons that led me to begin my College career were my mother’s example and the values that can be acquired through an education, particularly being more qualified, building confidence, and securing the future.…
Choosing to Further My Education There are many individuals who graduate high school who feel that college may not be the right decision for them to make. I, on the other hand, made the choice to further my education in order for me to have a successful future. With an advanced education, I will be able to have a career that will provide everything I need and want for my unborn child and I. Stating the fact that I will have a degree on my resume is a major factor when it comes to competing for a higher paying job. Watching my mom go back to school for her master’s degree encouraged me to attend college after progressing from Mansfield Timberview High School.…
My mother instilled in me my desire to learn, be independent, and to take care of my family. Although she passed away last year after a long battle with cancer, she taught me going to college is how I will be able to achieve my aspirations. I want to go to college to further learn more about life choices and how to sustain myself as an adult in the future, and further my education. I want to be able to support myself and family. This is important to be me because my mother was my family’s support system and the head of household.…

With a father who comes from a third-world country, Belize, education is no joke in our family. For me, going to college and furthering my education will give me the opportunity to give back to my second home. With a college education, I will be able to empower others.…
