Grades are very crucial for getting acceptance to college. They are one of the major things that colleges look at to accept you (or so I have been told). So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now. College is the main goal of my life. It is a life dream to go to college to get a degree and get a successful job.
I will not only get the knowledge and information I need for my major, Accounting, but by taking other courses I will also learn new things that I do not already know now. I am the type of person that loves to learn new things and going to college offers a huge variety of subjects to be learned. That is the case with this course, Introduction to University Studies, I have learned several tools and assessments that will not only help me with college, but also with my career as well. I have learned by creating S.M.A.R.T goals, for both my short term and long term goals, it will help me gain the skills, knowledge, and values that is needed to become successful both academically and professionally. By making sure my goals are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely it will help me keep me on

Repeating two years of high school would be hard for me to take in. Thoughts ran haywire through my head. I was already seventeen years old. How old will I be when I graduate? Motivated to earn a degree, I did not let that stop me from achieving my dreams.
A two- or four- year college degree is becoming more and more important to unlocking doors to economic and educational opportunity in America today. But in order for college to become an reality, a student and his parents must have a plan that will lead the student to success in High School and any other schools before hand. Having a plan, knowing how much you must and can do to get to your goal of going to college will make it much easier and will give you the knowledge and skills required to get to college. Since the world is quickly advancing college is becoming more and more of an requirement or necessity to get where you want in life. During the years of college a student will learn a profession(s) that will help them choose a career that will keep them financially stable like everyone would like to be.
As students we often hear phrases such as: “Education is the “number one” most important thing in your life.” We are often under great pressure from parents, teachers and even also from the government. In recent years, the Danish government has completed new initiatives, which benefit the smart and hard-working student. With grade bonuses for taking several high-level classes and another grade bonus for starting on a higher education within the first two years after graduating high school, the government puts a pressure on the students to educate fast and do it well. This is also the point President Barack Obama wants to make in his “Back to School Event” on Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. In this speech, he tells the students to take responsibility for their education, no matter which social background they have, to give all they can to acquire the necessary skills that can help developing the United States in the future, but does Obama manage to address this message in a way that fits his audience?
Megan O’Donnell 9/09/12 Paper Assignment 1: College Gillett 6 I am planning on attending college in the fall of 2013. For me, the main reason for attending college is because I have a clear idea of what I want to do in the future. I would ideally like to major in music education with a minor in jazz studies so I can pursue a career teaching middle school wind and jazz ensembles. Taking a year off would result in a mad scramble for letters of recommendation from teachers you haven’t seen in a year and in my case, scrambling to relearn the music you learn junior and senior year for auditions. I strongly believe that students should not take a gap year.
My Reflection of Speech 100: Foundations of Oral Communications University of Maryland University College SPCH100/ Spring 2015 Semester Professor Ennis Allen Submitted: May 8, 2015 My Reflections: Foundations of Oral Communications It seems like yesterday that day 1 of Speech 100 class started. My how time goes by to so fast. I choose to take this course for several of reasons. The first being, it was required for my core course requirements for my major in Public Safety Administration. Although I could have taken other courses that fell under speech, I chose this one because I thought it to be more beneficial in my personal and career development, which comes to my second reason.
A College education means that my daughter will have a good example to follow. A college education also means that I can finally make my dreams come true and have a better quality of life. As I desire to return to the workforce and one day have my own business a degree will be necessary for me to succeed. (Nelson Mandela quote) Upon graduating from high school in 2000 it has been an ongoing struggle to get a job that fits my career path. Obtaining a college degree is important to me because it would enable me have many opportunities to provide a secure future for my family.
So no, I don’t know why I’m in college. I just figured college is what comes after high school and that’s what I’m supposed to do. But what I have learned the past few weeks while being here is that even though I didn’t know why I was here initially, I hope it will impact my life for the better. My future is important to me and I only expect the best for myself. So if attending college is what I have to do in order to be stress free that’s fine.
