Personal Narrative: Gaining College Loans
My second plan for this summer is to get a job. I will probably work in the field, this is important to me because I am going to gain more abilities. Also I want to earn my own money to start saving some to pay for my college. One of the traditional forms to pay college education is savings. It is generally assumed that I will use saved money as part of my financial strategy for getting through college. College is incredibly expensive, tuition prices are increased every year. The only other options are loans and scholarships. Taking on too many college loans is one of the leading causes of early debt among people new to the work force. I do not want ask for a loan because I do not think I can be capable to pay my payments, so I need to save some money to stay really.

    Throughout every college experience there are two sides to every story. The text made me realize, through vivid examples that I remember learning when I was younger, such as the gods and the giants, something that I have been told since I was young. That I have to always think twice before I think say or do anything.…

    When first posed the questions of how do I fit in at a college and how my extracurricular activities and experiences would benefit the college, I was not sure where to begin writing. To be perfectly honest, I think I would be a good fit on almost any campus because I believe I am adaptable to my surroundings and have a solid foundation that would make me an asset anywhere in the nation. While the previous sentence may come across to readers as egocentric or egotistic, I’m puzzled at where to begin because I also don’t think I’m outstanding anywhere compared to my fellow students academically speaking. On the other hand, it is almost a forgone conclusion in my mind that I have experienced more in my years than the majority of my peers. Also, as a result of many of these experiences, I’ve been able to get a jump start in my field of choice compared to where anyone else in the nation going into my career would likely be. Overall, I would say I have…

    It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house, going to school with the same kids, and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the United States, in reality the only world I’ve ever known is the same one I have spent my whole life in. I have loved growing up in Northwest Oklahoma City with the friends that have helped shaped me into who I am today, however I relished the opportunity…

    The important pursuit of financial success is an idea that has been drilled into my head by the adults in my life from early on; my parents struggled in life, and for me they wanted a better, easier, future for me. What I took away from this was that I would not be successful and happy without the money and credentials as well. I could not understand why so many of my classmates wanted to be writers and artists; didn't they too want to be successful? However, the summer before my senior year, I had an idea that would change my thought process forever: a visit to the gateway of success, the Naval Academy.…

    It is fairly easy to save money and it becomes easier to save once you get a job. “A high school student who works twenty hours per week (more during the summer, less during school year) and saves $6 per hour of that throughout high school will save $24,960 in savings by the time he starts college (Steinberg 13).” Working may help you get new interests and may inspire those who are confused about what you want to do. Many students have a belief their grades will drop if they work but a 1993 survey proves otherwise. “A 1993 study published in the Journal of Student Financial Aid found that college students who were employed actually had a slightly higher average GPA (2.72) than those who weren't working (2.69) (Steinberg 13).” Meaning those who decide to work during school had slightly higher scores than those who did not. Just like the other 2 solutions this one has a downside that matches up the benefits as well. To begin signing applications and receiving a call back for an interview takes lots of time mainly the waiting for a call back takes most of the time. Another downside is that you may not be able to get a job for a while it takes a long time for people to even get a call back. Mainly being there is no guarantee you will receive a job.…
