People in society today question whether college is a worthy investment of their money, time, and effort. In to response to this I would like to say that college is great for someone like me, because of the life that I plan on living in the future. I plan to become a mathematical instructor for high school students and to do so, it is required that I receive a college degree. I have had many obstacles throughout my life and I have done everything to the best of my ability to get to this point in my life. I have the work ethic that will help me exceed the expectations of those that surround me and I will do anything to push through this challenge to achieve the same statute of the alumni of this university.
The expenses that a college student endures is very costly, whether it is through student loans or paying out of pocket. People struggle to overcome the financial burden that a college can toll upon a person. I know that personally the finances that I have and will face will seem overwhelming; however, if you keep a sturdy mindset and focus, then everything will be okay. I am paying for college through a scholarship, pell grant, and from my personal budget. The burdens of college are well worth the benefits, because of the knowledge that is gained, the networking, and the social relationships that help a student throughout life.
The time that we have in college will be cherished for a lifetime. The time that college takes enables a student to learn more information and to establish bonds with people that will help them overcome things in their lives. People become very close when they all face the same issues. I know that I use my friends tremendously and we all work together to help each other with classes and even life. They experience the same thing as I do on a day to day basis, therefore they fully understand the things that I am going through. My friends are irreplaceable and we work towards the same common goals in life.
College is a tremendous amount of work that will help a student better understand that a sturdy work ethic will help when working within the workforce. You will learn as a student that the more work you put into something the more benefits you will receive from it. I have worked for everything that I have had in my life and it has taught me that I better appreciate the items that I have in my possession. Working for things also helps show responsibility and shows that you care more about the things in your life.
So all in all, college is well worth the investment and helps an individual discover themselves and what they want to do with their lives. The expenses can be made up and can be fixed if you have a plan for your future and keep to that plan. The time that we experience as college students is like no other and will be cherished forever. There is a lot of work; however, all the work only prepares you to overcome obstacles that you may face in your future. So as society questions whether college is good or not I personally know that this is the perfect place for me to be and I will love every second of my time here.

I liked your blog and everything you had to say. It's pretty you that you want to be a math teacher. I'm really good at math too. I only wish you had put some links in the blog though.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with all the points you made! It makes your revised blog post a lot stronger. I do think you should have incorporated some sources into the post to go further beyond what we were asked to do! Good job overall.
ReplyDeleteReally good blog post! I enjoyed reading it, and I respected your views on all your topics, especially the money aspect of college. One thing that I did find irritating was the grammatical error in the beginning of the second sentence. It made me be more aware of grammar than content as I read your blog. Great post overall though.
