Attending College Goals

My purpose of attending college is because I want to make a change in my family. When all your life you’ve seen what your parents have sacrificed for you, all you want to do is make them proud and potentially give them more than they gave you. Although all parents sacrifice things for their kids every story has its different ups and downs. My parents taught me that hard work and dedication is where you’ll go far.
