      College education is very important to me because it can open many doors to a successful future. It helps develop many skills that are useful in the real world. These skills include having better communication skills, being open minded, working under pressure, developing time management and being interactive with others. Going to college will give me a better paying job, and a more secured future. I want to go to college so that I can have job security, and prepare to become an independent adult. My parents have been great to me, but I just turned 18, I am an adult now, it is time for me to start becoming more independent and responsible. I will graduate from high school soon this year, nonetheless, I am worried and nervous about college expenses. Recently, I have found out that a college education is expensive. At times, thinking about a college education almost seems unattainable because of the high fees. However, I am determined to attend college and succeed in my goals. One of my biggest goals is to one day have a business of my own. Owning my own business would be great because I would be my own boss. I could decide when to work, how to work, and when to work. I would have more freedom and control to direct, and decide my life course. I would love to own a big car garage, in a commercial, popular area, maybe in downtown. The reason I picture my business in downtown or at any other well-known area, is because this way, I can attract more business and clients. In my garage, I want to offer auto collision repair services and other related auto services. By having my own business, I can create jobs and hire boys and girls that are interested in cars and in becoming experienced in the automobile industry. I want to show people that whatever a man can do, a woman can do it too. This is how I envision the world a better place. Many people think that just because men can do things such as, fixing cars, women cannot or should not do the same. But for me, women can do anything men can do, and that is why I want to let people know that no matter your gender, you can do anything that you put your mind into. I also want to start this business to teach young girls to be open minded, and inspire them to know that it is okay if women like cars. Young girls need to know that they can be and become anything they really put their heart into. Nobody but yourself can stop you to achieve your desired goals if you really want them. It is acceptable to try new things and they are achievable if you believe in yourself. I am happy to be the young lady that I am today, and I am excited to see what the future hold for me. I am trying to direct my life with meaning and purpose because I want to be successful and follow my passion. I was just accepted into a college to study what I love. I am going to study auto collision and earn an associate degree, but I do not plan to stop there. I want to keep expanding my education after that. However, although I am excited and I cannot wait to graduate from high school and from college, I am also scared about all the debt that will be left to pay from college. My parents support me on my journey 100% but I can tell they are scared and nervous too because they signed papers to help me pay for my education. I want to help myself so that I can help them pay for my school, after all, it is mainly my responsibility. I want my family to have peace of mind, they are part of my inspiration to be successful and to do good in life. I want to make them proud.

It is acceptable to try new things and they are achievable if you believe in yourself. I am confident that a college education will help me achieve my goals but I cannot do it alone. My parents support me and believe in me. Unfortunately, I depend on financial help to pay for school because neither my family or my can afford to pay for all my school expenses. It would be extremely helpful, if I were awarded a scholarship. I do not know anybody that has been awarded a scholarship, for this reason, if I were chosen as the recipient for a scholarship it would be like a dream come true. Since I started middle school, I have been working really hard every day to be successful in life. I wake up early for school, go to my classes, and complete all my assignments meeting all deadlines. I am a dedicated, committed teen that cares about her grades and her future. I want to study to earn a degree because I truly believe college is the key to success.
