Why I Came to College?
Why have I choose to attend college? Is
the four-year academic life
worthwhile?
I
have
put
these questions
to
myself
at
many
times
in
the
past
two
years.
It
is
impossible
to
sit
in
the
classroom
listening
to
the
lectures
without
being
distracted
for
a
moment
by
the
fatter
wallets
carried by the high-
school graduates who have made a big fortune. It
is
impossible
to
stay
up
very
late
preparing
for
the
examinations
without
wondering for a moment whether I made a
wise choice as a college man.
After
pondering
these
questions
on
many
occasions,
I
have
finally
reached the
conclusion that college education is something I
truly want to
and it is worthwhile.
Admittedly , my parents did
influence my opinions about college I
can
still
hear
my
father
saying,
Go
to
college,
my
boy.
They
were
persistent but not demanding and
respected my decision. And I did realize
some disadvantages
of
continuing
college
education,
which
would
cost
me too
much personal happiness as well as a great sum of
money. But I
attended
college for every reason other than finance.
I attended college because I enjoy
learning and gaining knowledge. I
remember as I proceeded further through
high school into my junior and
senior
years,
I
became
genuinely
interested
in
Chemistry,
Physics
and
Maths.
I
felt
that
I
wanted
to
continue
to
study
these
areas
and
that
I
would
not
be
content
to
simply
end
my
educational
career
with
high
