As a child, I was always told, college is mandatory. It is a way to create more opportunities in order to get more in life, a higher wage job and to live comfortably. Like many, I am worried whether I am able to go to a college I want or not, a lot of people focus on the name of the college and always aspired to go to a certain college however I want to share what a teacher told me, if you are a serious and hardworking student, and that certain college rejects you, it’s their loss. This made me really think and realize, college should be picked on one that fits their needs to get the education they need to have a stable career.
