Why did you decide to go to college?

  • “Honestly, I need money and the way society is set up, I cannot get a good job without having education behind my belt. I also did not want to be basic or average, so to not be comfortable with the bare minimum I felt college was the next step for me.”

When beginning college, what was your plan?
