When I go to college I hope to get a degree in the field that I want to work in. I hope to make life long friends and experiences that I will never forget. I hope to learn responsibility and how to take care of myself. I am going to college for mostly myself because I don't want to be a adult and not have a stable job and not able to provide for my future family. Also i'm going for my parents too so they can know that they raised me right and feel good about themselves. I think the characteristics that matter the most is what they're known for. If you're just going to that school because it looks fun or sounds cool that is not a good idea. You need to look for a school that will benefit you in every way possible. If they don't have your studies then you should not choose that school. I think I will seek input from from my parents and Coach Thrush. They all seem to know what they're talking about so I think I can benefit from what they tell me. I think that college will help me achieve my goals in life because having a degree will give me a ton of more opportunities for jobs and careers. It makes the person look better if they went to college and finished school. I think college is a good thing, just takes a long time.
