Reflecting on My College Experience :: Personal Reflection

When I first enrolled here at State University, I never thought I would ever be in the position to graduate. coat college was a huge goal growing up but it was to a fault my biggest fear. But after three and a half days of lettering I plan to get my degree in the fall. Getting this cold in college was non easy, it took encouragement from family, dedication, and assistance from others to reach this position.Many years ago I remember my parents telling me that in order for me to bewilder successful a college education was a must. They always told me that if I wasnt in school I could no longer live at home. Both of my parents attended college but neither of them finished. They did not want me to go down that same road because they really regret not getting their degrees.My grades in elementary school were poor because I had trouble paying(a) attention to things that were not challenging. I tried to play sick conscionable about every day but my parent were not fall for it. My fa vorite classes were gym, music, and art. Competing in sports is where I spent most of my time. The words of my parents and teachers went in one ear and out the other. School f descentish wasnt fire to meMy senior year of high school I decided to utilize my self to school work. All I did was take school a little more seriously and pay attention. Before you know it I had made the honor roll for the first time and continue to bewilder it the rest of the year. Finally the extra work was reflecting in my grades. My parents were glad to take heed that my education had whatsoever meaning. That summer after school I just wanted to find a job and start making some money. Going to college for anther four year was something I thought I could not handle. I final got a job at UPS unloading trucks. At first I thought how hard could it be? But every day I would come home exhausted from working in the heat. And then when I got tiny pay check, it hit me. From then on I decided that manual labo r was something that I could not do the rest of my life and I could definitely not support a family on that income. A job behind a desk in the air conditioning was what I wanted.
