Why I want to go to college
Attending college is one of the most significant achievements that can boost individuals’
lives. A college education is crucial to a person since it allows one to take different life directions
and approaches to their lives. It is in college that one can become independent, assume different
responsibilities and learn to live with others. An individual acquires self-confidence due to
interactions with other students and individuals in the school. Individuals with a college
education are likely to have better life goals and ability to achieve them. One gains economic
security, thus making them a great asset in the world. Attending college exposes an individual to
new knowledge and skills which positively impact their career development, improving their
welfare and that of others around them.
A college education is essential to a person for different reasons. In my case, the
education will help me inspire my family and be an example to my younger family members
who are yet to reach the college level. Young individuals shape their lives according to the
different lives of individuals and role models around them (Ma et al.). Going to college is one of
the many achievement numerous young individuals admire to make. The college life is attributed
to a better and free way of living compared to the lower levels of education, an aspect that can

influence my siblings to admire such a life. Therefore, attending college will influence my
siblings to put efforts into their education to reach or surpass my education level.
Attending college will also make my parents proud and enable me to reward them for
their sacrifice towards my education. Parents support their children to make them successful in
their lives and also hope to acquire direct or indirect benefits from their children's success (Ma et
al.). My parents have supported throughout my life by offering financial support towards my
education, sacrificing finances they may have used elsewhere. They also sacrificed their time
waking up early to prepare me and take me to school. The parents have also offered me
emotional support and other support aiming at encouraging me to embrace education. Thus I
must go to college to make them proud and reward them for their support and sacrifice by
making their lives better.
Lastly, attending college will enable me to acquire better education, skills and knowledge
necessary to better my life. Although a college education is not enough, it is necessary as an
eligibility touchstone in many sectors (Webber and Douglas). The education will render me
competitive, qualifying me to vast job opportunities making me earn more and get a better life.
The skills and knowledge will enable me to find myself since I will gain high levels of
responsibility and independence due to exposure to a life with no massive supervision compared
to lower education levels. My communication skills will also be strengthened due to broad
interactions with diverse individuals in schools and companies. The communication skills will
boost my confidence and enable me to reveal my actual but beneficial life characteristics,
making me a competitive version of myself. Therefore, a college education will impact my
career growth and help me apply the skills to benefit myself and others.

In conclusion, attending college exposes someone to new ideas enhancing their career
development and competencies, thus impacting their lives and that of others. A college education
will help me inspire my siblings to be determined to take my educational path. It will also make
my parents proud and allow me to reward them for their sacrifice. The skills and knowledge I
will gain will promote my career development. Therefore I need to attend college.
