The Journey has just Begun by Alexondra - December 2015 Scholarship Essay

In ten years I see myself as a college graduate going out and pursuing what all my years of education prepared me for, to become the amazing yet humble lawyer I dreamed of being since my childhood. But while I’m figuring things out for myself I will take a moment to look back on my education and see how far it has token me in life. My education would not have only helped me improve my intelligence but it also would’ve helped me with making decisions, wise decisions at that. My education would’ve also served a purpose in assisting me in daily life from forming a conversation with someone to making fast decisions if I ever happen to be caught in a predicament. But it would’ve helped me furthermore learn to juggle school and work.
My education will have prepared me for life because at college I would’ve learned so many things from social skills to life lessons. The environment alone helps you decide if you’re going to be the person to enjoy the freedom you’re given or treat it with caution. Some people can easily lose their way in college and stray away from their dreams or goals but this will not be me. Education is a beautiful thing that needs to be cherished instead of taken for granted. Education will serve its purpose for me because it will test me to my limits. Such as there will be long study sessions, homework sessions, etc. But this will only strengthen me because in the future I will most likely experience the same thing in my work career.
