I want to go to college. Now, what are the reasons that I want to go to college, you ask? Well that’s a little harder to explain. But, I can do my best and make an attempt. I want to go to college because I want to make myself into a more important person. I want to become a person that others look to in envy. But, let me make this very clear. I do not want this because I want the attention. I do not want it because I want others to envy me.
I want this because when I am lying on my death bed in, hopefully, many, many years, I want to be able to know that I honestly did everything to the best of my abilities in my life, and that all my efforts benefited those that I love. In my family (overall), nearly, everyone works very hard to support their immediate family. Whether man or woman, nearly all of them work very hard. And, honestly, they don’t all have “good” jobs. Some work for insurance agencies, working at a desk or even going to talk to other businesses, and others work in industrial shops, doing things such as welding and inspections.
My point is this; many people work very hard to do their job, sometimes even harder than others in their exact same position and getting the same outcome as the other, and I don’t want to be this way. I want to be able to do my work proudly, happily, and honestly. At a young age such as my own, and the same as every single one of my peers, I literally hold my future in my own two hands. What I do now is what affects my future, the future of my family, and the outcome of my life. Without a good start in life, I don’t see any possible way for me to succeed.
It can be compared to constructing a building. If you build a foundation out of sand and sticks, then a mighty skyscraper will topple. If I make something of myself while I am young and become that of what it usually takes others even longer to achieve, then I have pleased myself, and done well in my eyes. I want to go to college to learn. Knowledge is one of the most unappreciated privileges in life. Having knowledge of how things work, why they work, and what they work for are all things that I want to do.
I want to learn. Learning is a passion for me. Even though I do not completely understand everything I learn, I, usually, enjoy learning it none the less. I want to be wealthy in life. I want things to be abundant. I’m not greedy; I just want to be secure and safe. I want my family to be able to be provided for. I want to have many true friends. I want to be able to call myself a happy person. These are the reasons that I want to go to college. These are that of which you ask. I want to succeed, happily, in life.
