Why I’m here continued…..
For today’s blog I wanted to
continue on the free write from earlier because well I liked the topic or
point!
I choose to come to college
because I want to want to better myself in every way possible. Of course my mom
played a big role in pushing me in this direction but it was ultimately my
decision. Not many people in my family have graduated from college and I would
be one of my grandmother’s first grandchildren to graduate. My parents would be
beyond proud of me especially since my mom’s still in school furthering her degree
and it’s inspirational to me. My dad never finished high school actually I think
he dropped out his freshman year and I know me graduating from college would
make him feel like he’s done something right. My closest friend just graduated
last year from UNC Charlotte with superb grades and seeing the pressure he took
on makes me have ten times more respect for him even if I’ve never told him
that. I know I can do it and there’s no reason that I cannot. I have more than
enough support.
College is suppose to help you
get the better jobs and make more money and experience things you can only
experience in college. I came to college to get all of that. I came to college not
only for myself but for my family too. To make them and myself proud. I’m
hoping that college will help me get far in life to where I won’t have to struggle
as much. This should be an interesting couple of years.
I too will be one of the few in my family to graduate from college. I'm doing this for the same reasons as you. I hope it's a great experience for you.
ReplyDeleteYou take on a lot when you want to do something not only for yourself but also for others, especially when the "others" are family. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself.
