    The only person in my family that went to college after high school was my grandmother. I do not want to be just another family member to not go to college; I do not want to give up my dreams, because I do not have the education for them. I want to be able to say I did it for me, for my dreams. In the paragraph above I explained a little about my life when I was little and what that taught me was that life doesn 't always go as you might want it to; with that in mind college would be my choice, it would be what I want. The reasons I want to go to college may not seem significant enough to you, but too me they mean so much more than what you will understand.

    Have you ever had a dream to go to college? All of my life I’ve listened to people talk about how college can change your life for the better. Growing up I would constantly tell myself that I wasn’t good enough, always surrounding myself with negative people who didn’t believe in me.

  • Free Public College Research Paper

    122 Words  | 1 Pages

    Free public college is a problem because it maximizes the amount of people that exert oneself for an occupation that does not require a college degree. Rick Santorum said, “Most Americans—nearly 70 percent—don't have a bachelor's degree.” A large number of Americans do not have a college degree; therefore, they come by jobs that do not require one, like a taxi driver. If college became free, the demand for occupations that require a college degree would get larger. In addition, there would not be an inflated demand for the jobs that do not require one. There would be a need of employees for jobs that do not require a college degree, and that may lead the establishment to go out of business.

    As I checked the boxes for my senior year schedule, I decided to choose a first period class I never would’ve gone toward in my freshman year. I envisioned the benefits that a first period study hall would entail-the ability to complete last-minute homework or get iced mochas with my friends before class. Two nights before the first day of school, I checked my schedule and was met with an alarming slew of sentences and pieced them together in panic: first period...student aide….sixth-grade Spanish teacher? This was All Wrong. I wasn’t going to get my study hall, and I was also going to have to cut out flashcards and grade quizzes in the very place that was the source of my Pulitzer in dramatic diary entries a few years prior?

    Journaling is a past-time long forgotten. Finding time to write everyday presents a challenge for many, and so does finding a topic to write about when a mundane day passes. Because of this, most people choose to bypass journaling; however, I have recently rediscovered the purpose of recording my every day shenanigans. Just a week ago I noticed a small notebook hiding behind a few unread books while I was cleaning my bookshelves. As I pulled it from its little nook, it registered in my brain what its contents held. Opening the book was like time-travelling back to my first day at the high school. The words made me cringe consistently, and I began to comprehend how much I have changed since freshman year. I have grown a tremendous amount physically and emotionally, and I can only expect the same to happen in the following four years at college.

Due to this, my expectations and responsibilities are set higher for being the oldest child. Being the older sibling, I take these responsibilities and accept my expectations, while my younger sister has much less than I did as a child.
