Many of us will be the first in our
families to go to college. We might think that since they didn't go and were
living alright i don't need to go. NOOOO. If we ask our parent I can promise
you that they will say if they had the chance or opportunity to do it all over
they would go to college. Plus, why not be the first? Be the person that
younger siblings or cousins look up to, they will want to be like you and go to
college too.
College is difficult, I will admit
that. If you are willing to work college won't be that hard. Colleges also have
student resources, such as study labs and tutoring programs. You can even join
study groups or get tutoring from professors.
All of us just want to make a lot of
money and have a good job. Studies have shown that college graduates make
several hundred thousand more dollars than someone who has only graduated high
school. A couple hundred thousand
dollars is a lot of money that you can use to buy things you want, (a BMW).
These are a couple excuses of the many
excuses we make on why we shouldn't go to college. There is no significant
reason on why you shouldn't go. Just think in the long run when you making
hundreds of thousands of dollars you will be elated that you went to college.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree that there are no excuses for not going to college. It doesn't matter if you are the first, or if you don't think you are good enough. Going to college may be scary especially if you are the first to go, but once you do it, you are going to be glad that you did. Also, everyone isn't perfect, so you shouldn't use perfection to get into college. Four year universities aren't the only choice for going to college, so if you mess up in high school you always have community colleges. Although it might not sound good to go to community colleges it is. In fact there are areas in which community colleges are better, for example the time you spend to get your degree is shorter than if you were to go to a university. Stop making excuses for not going to college because you’re going to regret it in the end.
ReplyDeleteExactly college is not a bad thing. Even if you go to a community college first and then transfer to a university, at least you went to school. Four to six more years of school will not hurt especially when your making lots of money later. You’re right college isn't about perfection; college is about bettering your education and your life. Like you said nothing’s wrong with being the first that way you can show your younger family members that college is a good thing.
