The thing that makes me want to pursue a college degree is my family i have one son and a lot of nieces and nephews that i try to set an example for. I want to make my family proud and hopefully get a career job because its needed in this day and age the economy is not what it use to be and every year prices go up everywhere so that just make it a must to get a better education to be able to make more income. I just want to be able to give my son the life i never had and i know with hard work and dedication not to mention GOD i know it will happen.
Purpose
The main purpose in seeking a college degree is because its necessary and i won't to prove to myself that i can do it and be able to soak in a lot of new knowledge while doing it. When i was a child i really didn't have the love and support from my family as other people might have gotten which left me to feel alone and giving up on a lot of things. I would play sports and quit because i had no one to come to watch me play then eventually i quit school because i thought no one cared. It took me to realize that i made a mistake after seeing how things were in the real world so i went back to school and finished 10 years after high school i got my associates degree and now I'm working on my BA degree so that is my purpose of seeking a degree.
