My Motivation to Attend College

From a young age we are taught that to be successful in the future we must go to college. As a young kid all you want to do is get out of school as soon as possible because A. you wake up too early everyday and B. it's too much homework. As I got older though I realized that I wanted to go to college on my own. I would say my main motivation was my older sister. She decided not to go to college, and I see her life now. Senior year was a very busy year for me, when I wasn't at school I would be in dance practice if I didn't have practice I'd be at work, when I wasn't working I would be doing h.w. My life was very on the go, and the time I would be home I would see my older sister pretty much either watching t.v, eating, waking up late, or just going out with friends. As much as the "lazy life" might seem fun it seemed so blah to me. You have nothing to work towards and that's what I think life is all about. College will prepare me to be the smartest that I allow myself to be. Will make me mature and hopefully make me very successful in the future. I'm full of ambition and I have a passion for life, and College I know will be the boost that I'll need to be the best that I can. I also want to make my mother very proud of me, and be the best role model for my little sister.
