What I Hope to Gain from a College Education

                                                  By Alexis Walton

    After graduation from high school, I plan to do several things. The most important thing I plan to do is go to college. Other than a degree, from a college education I plan to pursue higher learning, to begin a career, and to make history in my family.

     The first thing I hope to gain from a college education is higher learning. Learning goes far beyond a high school education and is very necessary in today's society. It allows us to be familiar with our environment and everyone in it, and it allows us to maintain assurance of ourselves. A lot of us would be lost without any learning at all, and our world would be very confused. One must learn to do such things as applying math skills as well as being responsible and independent. I know that a college education would allow me to acquire these abilities.

    Secondly, I hope to begin a career as a result of my college education. As a college student, I plan to study chemical engineering. After taking all the classes necessary for this major and completing them successfully, I hope I'll be able to begin a career as a chemical engineer.

     Making history in my family is yet another important thing I hope to gain from my college education. Neither of my parents graduated from college, nor did any of my three brothers, but they did, however, graduate from high school. Taking a look back has motivated me to reach farther. I plan to make history in my family by being the first to get a college education.

      Pursuing higher learning, begainning a career, and making history in my family are things I hope to gain from my college education. It is very important that I accomplish these goals so that I will have continued success. I know all of these things and many more are possible. If I believe it, then I can achieve it.
