Goals For Going To College
My primary goal for going to college would be to further my education and to make everyone proud of me by helping students with my degree. As a senior in High School, I believe that it is my natural born right to further my education. I will go to IU Bloomington, so that I can become a Social Worker or a Student Counselor. In order to help students make correct life changing decisions, I will encourage them to go to college like I did. With my degree, I will be able to build a path for the student and indirectly help someone else in need. Everyone needs some type of guidance and I will be able to provide that to them. It will be my privilege to go to this college just so I can continue on the right path toward success and in the process improve

    There are several fundamental reasons why students all over the world choose to pursue higher education: to broaden their knowledge base, to achieve financial independence, and to be a part of an environment that fosters personal growth.
