Why college? by Talon - November 2023 Scholarship Essay

Growing up watching television you would always see in movies or shows how these Highschool students were getting ready to move on to the next part of their lives. You would think how far away that was and how you wouldn’t need to go. The thought of going to school for extra years and having to pay for it was something I wasint fawned of. Yet being in their position now I see how much it really means now.

I now see college as something you get the privilege to do. Not everyone gets the chance to go to college, why should I lose that kind of opportunity when there is many others who dream of this. I now see college is something I truely want to do on my own.

When you grew up there was one teacher you had that was your favorite out of them all. You would want to go to school and see them. I want to be that kind of educator to kids. I want to be able to provide the knowledge for them, along with the joy they can have while learning.

I believe college is something a lot of people should reconsider. Too many people look at college and think it’s a waste of time. Yet it’s a loss of opportunity that you have to try before you judge it.
