I'm In College Now Witches!!!! :))

My High School days are gone!!! (Wipes Forehead) Throughout my years of elementary, middle, and high school I often asked myself, Why college? Why would I choose college over the Military or a Good paying Job? It's because of success.  My family has a variety of ways of making money and also has different inputs on success. Such as mechanics, college, and the Military. My family is also strict on having an education and accomplishing your goals in life. So  throughout my high school career I was involved in JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps) in which I developed leadership skills. While being involved in JROTC I met different people from different parts of the military, had my own recruiters, won awards, was on an award winning unarmed drill team, academic team, and excelled as a leader over many companies throughout my years in high school. I was involved so much in JROTC that the military was my main focus until my first week in JROTC camp. The different tasks we had to accomplish in a day was not something I wanted to do throughout my life or even for a short period of time. So I started to think about a career choice and different Universities.Throughout my years in high school I went on college tours and meet different people from different universities. My choices consisted of a school that had a good medical program, nice campus, friendly advisers, and great opportunities. After visiting a couple of colleges my senior year I choose three schools, Tuskegee University , University of South Alabama , and Jacksonville State University in which I made my home. I started thinking about becoming a nurse because of my mom. My mother is a Cardiac Nurse so I've always sat and talk to her about her day at work and her patients. So, one day I decided to do some research about nursing and the different benefits and programs available.  So my only way to become a nurse was to go to college and achieve my Divine potential in my studies. After I had some time to think about choosing the right career for me, I started to look at different nursing programs in the state of Alabama and their student ratios. Jacksonville wasn't my first choice but it was the best decision I've made so far. :)

Another reason I feel like I should attend college is so I can support my family. I feel as if I never want my children to need for anything and anything they ask for they will get.  Many of my brothers and sisters haven't finish college or went to college because of the decisions they have  made. To me college is as important as waking up in the morning. Now a days you cannot get a great job without having a college degree. Also why wouldn't you go to college? COLLEGE IS FUN!!!But College is not just about getting you education but learning how to be responsible and still have fun. In high school you had your family and teachers to really push you but in college you have to push yourself. It's your choice to wake up, go to class, and study.

To me college is a big part of life. It teaches you leadership skills, education, and how to be a responsible adult.
