I'm in college for a lot of different reasons. Firstly I've grown up in a family who don't have much education or money. Because of my situation growing up, I've always striven to be my best and do really well in school, because my parents never did. I knew I wanted to go further and actually do something with my life. By being in college I'm working towards a successful future. My education has always been the most important thing in my life, and in college I'm learning something new everyday. I know with a degree, I'll be able to get a good job and broaden my knowledge. I'm also in college for the experience of being on campus and around other people my age, who want the same things.
