So, Why College?

Throughout high school, college was always the next step. Not attending college was definitely an option I never allowed myself to have. It is a necessary part of life. Well, it is a necessary part of my life anyway. One of the dreams that I hold dearest in my heart is, to eventually support a mentally and physically, happy and healthy family.

I feel that supporting a family takes a good education and financial stability. Financial stability cannot be had without a good academic foundation; which can act as a gateway to well paying, financially stable jobs. Going away to college is also a great way for a young adult to take more control of their lives and learn the decision making skills that can help in all of their future endeavors. Making these decisions are a vital part of moving into adulthood and the job community at large.

Right now, I'm undecided as to how I want to achieve that academic foundation or job stability. So, I'm taking my general education courses and hopefully, slowly narrowing down my career options. Within the two weeks I've been here, college has already proven that it's going to be the most crucial and confusing time of my life. Hopefully, soon, all the pieces of the large convoluted puzzle called my life, will start to fit.
