My Positive And Key Factors To Attend College

Growing up I always felt aloof from my peers because in comparison to them, I knew nothing about college and they had the idea of attending college marked on their head. As time went on certain factors influenced me to attend a 4 year institution and these factors were both internal and external. Aside from having factors influence my decision to attend a university, there were barriers that I had to surpass in order to fully enroll in what is UCLA.
