My Motivation to Attend College

My motivation to attend college is for self fulfillment, and my family’s encouragement. For me I try to look at going to college as a requirement other than an option, I want to succeed and be able to live a life without financial struggle, and I believe college can set me up to have an excellent career and future. My family drives me in many ways to go to college, through their mistakes, accomplishments, financial instability/stability, trying to be a influence, and words of wisdom. My family pressures me (in a good way) to stay in school. My mommy, grandparents, aunts, and uncles all have different methods of expressing their “pressure” on me, but ultimately they are all proud of me. I am aware that if I want to purse a career that pays a respectable amount, I have to continue on with my schooling, and gain knowledge on a subject I want a future in. My main importance of my life is to be happy and financially secure because, I don’t want a boring career that I hate, and from self and others experiences with money struggles. I believe that ultimately Puente will help me I my future. I don’t like to take the typical English class, I like to try new things, also the fact that the class is in the transfer program to help me go on to a 4 year college. I don’t know what I want to do yet in the future, but I do know that an education is the key to success, and college is one step closer to greatness.
