Why I am Attending College I decided to go back to college to get further education. I wanted to set a good example for my kids and show them that their education is very important. My life has been an up and down hill battle until I went back to school. I have been out of school for eleven years now, so just imagine how I feel sitting back in a classroom. When I told my mom that I had decided to go back to school she was very proud of me and told me that I can do it as long as I tried hard enough.
My family had little money troubles and I was always well looked after. Although my mother was a tad strict at times, I believe that this helped me with my education and outlook on life. I believe I’m mature for my age, and look at life differently than my peers. I know live in shared accommodation, which has improved my mental state as this means I’m more able to do what I want when I want, without having to please anyone else. * Due to all this I believe that I that at work I am a reliable, hard working person.
I have always had various interests in different things. And this work was rewarding in a way that at the end of the day it brought me inner satisfaction of steering peoples beliefs into something better, hence the reward made me excel in it. I do (in my personal life and work) use my resources very well and don’t let negative situations get me. The reason I didn’t score well in Humanistic Encouraging section is maybe because I learned how to talk about leadership and what leadership but I didn’t pay much attention to people who were actually around me or maybe to myself first. I can recall situations where I was friendly and was being able to sustain a healthy relationship with friends and coordinates; I wasn’t able to support them fully.
I always need to sit alone with soft music to think about what I have done each day in order to get myself ready to do other things. As the result shows, I make decisions mostly based on the feelings. In my life, I always want to see people I love with a big grin on their faces. Thus I would not decide anything to hurt or harm them even though I am being unbiased. In relationship and conflicts, I often try not to hurt anyone, but let it be the past and thanks for what they have done for
My Story I have always wanted to return to school but never got around to it until recently. There are so many reasons why I returned to school but this essay would become a book and I would be typing for weeks. There were many reasons I decided to go back to school. One main reason is the fact that getting my degree is one of the major personal goals I set for myself and not accomplishing this goal would mean failure to me. The second reason I felt returning to school to be so essential was so my family may become more financially stable.
Like most high school seniors, I felt I knew everything I needed to pass by life. The thought of college very rarely crossed my mind so after high school all I was thinking of was all I need to do now is find a job. I quickly found out finding a job isn’t as easy as everyone who tells you. When I did think of college, I kept telling myself “I think I should take a few years off from school to find work.” Boy was that the worse idea I ever had, and now I wish I could take it all back. Unlike most high school students I didn’t attend a normal class, I felt the teacher was going too slowly at times and there was never any stress from other Students.
With the money being tight and the bills being due my mother was never able to actually save for my college fund. I truly have a dream to be able to help others and the only way to achieve this dream is through a college education. I have always planned on attending college and although I know that it will not be easy it will pay off in the end. I believe that I deserve this scholarship because I know that I would make a very caring nurse. I want to be able to be in the NICU and actually have the opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life and possibly save the lives of many children.
Returning to School Sylvia Todd English 121 Stephanie Derisi November 18, 2012 To accomplish great things , we must dream as well as act. –Anatole France Here I am 7 years later and I am writing a paper for one of my college classes. Little did I know it would take me so long to finish what I started back then. I am going to share with you why returning to school is important to me, the benefits of getting a college degree and what motivates me to make this choice and continue to stick with it. Like everyone who decides to return to school I would like a better job, better pay and of course a college degree.
This will be hard for me because I am the type of person that likes staying with what I know and staying within my comfort zone. I don’t particularly like challenging myself with “hard” courses I like taking classes that I know I can handle and won’t take too much stress and hard work to complete others see this as taking the easy way out I see it as staying within my comfort zone. But after reading this article I now realize that different courses I take make me stand out as an employee makes me look determined compared to a student who took entry level courses their whole college career. 3.) I believe college will change my interactions with my parents and professors because college will open new doors for me and make me look at topics differently college will make me a better critical thinker and prepare me for the “real world” in many different ways college experience will broaden my outlook and knowledge on culture, politics, religion, and language.
Whatever it takes to get there By: Brandi Gaymon Living in North Philadelphia is already a challenge in itself when attending a public school. There are always the students who do not care, do not want to learn, and expect everyone else to feel the same way about their education. But not me, I have always been interested in school studies and incorporating what I know into higher learning. Ever since I can remember I’ve wanted to attend college after high school in order to better myself and be a good role model for my two younger brothers. In the future I hope to one day become a Cardiovascular Perfusionist and I am trying my best to make my career goal a reality.
