For next year, I will either be going to a community college here in Arizona, or I will be attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Oahu, Hawaii. I haven’t decided which one to go to yet. I plan to apply to Hawaii once I get my SAT scores back. I took the SAT on November 7th, and I won’t get them back until November 24th. If I get accepted there, then I will need to consider my pros and cons of going to either Hawaii or staying here. I have pros and cons for going to the University of Hawaii. The pros for going to Hawaii, if I get accepted, will be that I get to live on my own, I will move back to Hawaii, and I will meet a lot more new people. I am eager to get out of my parent’s home, and start living like an adult. I lived in Oahu before, so I know the island; …show more content…

The pros for staying would be that I would save money by living at home, I wouldn’t have as high student loans, and I am going to be a first time aunt next year. I would save money on rent, food, and utilities if I just live at home. I haven’t looked at all of the numbers yet, but I might be able to pay for community fully which means I won’t have any student loans. My sister-in-law just told us last weekend that she was pregnant. I’m not sure if I want to miss out on my future niece/nephew’s first few years of life. The cons of staying and going to community college would be that I won’t be able to branch out, I will be missing the same social interaction as if I was living in a dorm, and community is only a two year degree. I won’t be able to branch out and meet new people, since I will most likely know a lot of the people going to community. I won’t live in a dorm and have a roommate, which means I won’t have the same social interaction that my introverted self really needs. If I am going to college, I want to be able to get my bachelor’s degree. Community only offers an associate degree and some

Summary My position in this debate is that the annexation of Hawaii is a just act that both serves our national interests and upholds our foundational ideals. Firstly, it can be said that the annexation of Hawaii strengthens our economy and our ability to trade. As noted by Arthur C. James, we are provided with three new harbours that can influence commerce and act as coaling stations for trading vessels going to and from Asia (James).

In the United States a community college is defined as a nonresidential junior college offering courses to people living in a particular area. They are post secondary schools and are also referred to as junior colleges, vocational or technical schools because generally the course of study is for two years. The student can earn an associates degree or certification and/or continue their education by transfering to a four year college to complete their educational pursuits and earn a Bachelor 's degree. Community colleges started in the late 1800’s and have grown and evolved over the years. Today many four year colleges and universities have become so expensive to attend that many prospective students are opting for the more affordable alternative of a community college for their first two years of study where they can save money by living at home and taking classes that will transfer to a four year institution, however, there are students that cannot afford the lower cost of community colleges.

I will gain responsibility because I no longer have my parents by my side to cook my meals, clean my room and clothes, or wake me up every morning to go to class.

In college, there can be many distractions like parties, but I will have to concentrate and study instead of going out. I want to get the best education I can for myself
