Mindful not Purposeful by Feven - April 2020 Scholarship Essay

Dedication and Hard Work
Nowadays it is better to not attend college. Colleges are the ones who gave me the answer to this question by their action. They start to mention the number of scholarships they have and To be honest, they make students be hopeless. It is not fair to say every college but the majority of colleges play a mind game on students like me who are limited in financial status. They will say they have a number of scholarships, so students will be very eager to apply there. And at last the scholarship will be not available for everybody even if students are fully eligible. The students seek hope at first and when they are told they did not get the scholarship, it will be the end of the world for them. This is because colleges are very expensive without scholarships. Why are colleges so expensive? This question is common for all of us. But no one knows why this is happening. Generally, a school in America is very expensive. Starting from daycare to colleges. Is this a good reason for not attending college?
I want to go to college but how? Money makes the decision instead of dreams and goals these days. Most colleges prioritize their money before everything else. Their money to pay for fees and tuition is very high to reach on. I could not even decide if I have to go to college or not, what decides whether I go to college or not is money. So I could not even decide, if I am going to college. You can see the power of money here. Nevertheless, many students try to get into college. I want to go to college if you are just asking me on my side. But this will not make it less easy to get into.
Attending college is very important. It will give you the level of education that the world is right now. Knowledge is power if we know how to use it. Not only knowledge, but the life we are going to spend on campus also will never come again. It will be a good experience to see our future life when we have our own career. College teaches how to be sociable, how to manage time properly and gives us a glimpse of the full world. In college it is not only about classroom lessons that we are going to get, it is also a real-world life. Handling roommate behavior, finding the right friends, working in groups with harmony and lots of things.
It is definitely a change if one attends college, but there will be a big wall in front that could lead to losing hope. So it needs dedication and hard work.
