I want to go to college for welding courses but one thing that I was thinking about is that I will not be the only person applying for these courses I want. Applying for a college is a huge thing especially if you get accepted. One thing that sets me apart from other people applying is experience. Experience is one advantage that I have and makes me different from the other people trying to get accepted. I think that by me having experience with welding and trying to get accepted for courses at a college for welding I would get accepted do to the fact that I will know what I am doing and it would not be hard to teach me skills that I do not known. Another thing that would set me apart from other people applying is me taking my senior portfolio which I think would get me accepted because of all the skills and experience I have put in it. I’m pretty sure that the college rather pick someone who has experience and skills than someone who does not. Experience and skills important when trying to get a job, for example showing that you have lots of skills and experience will make you look good and you will have a better chance of being accepted to college or job. In conclusion I think that when I apply for a job or college I would have more of an advantage than other people if I share my student
