Scholarships!

 Having a scholarship would mean the absolute world to me . Aside from the fact that is helps pay for college, they are also helpful tools for making sure you are not up to your ears in debt. When  I am ready buy my first apartment or house , I do not want to be drowning in student loans because with that being on my credit there is a large possibility that I will not be approved to buy. People do not understand what student loans can really do to you . Not only do you have to pay the money back but they accumulate INTEREST ; something most students do not understand. It is important to me to have either no debt or if inevitable ( very little).  Hopefully students understand what they are really getting

their selves into when applying for a student loan. SCHOLARSHIPS ALL THE WAY!

Check List

Well , this is definitely one of the more depressing blogs I've had to make.:(  What I need to do before college is FOR SURE to raise my GPA. To be quite honest , I believe the right answer for me is to start off in a junior college to raise my GPA.
 1. I need to raise my GPA
2. take SAT/ACT
3.research junior colleges and requirements for them
4. finish my last year of core classes.
 I will be accomplishing these throughout the summer along with next year. I am enrolling for a summer nutrition course through Navarro college in Midlothian. This will allow me to get a head start seeing as it is a core class I need for my degree and I will work hard to keep the grade up to ensure raising my GPA. Throughout next year I will be finishing the required High School classes needed to be accepted in college . I will be accomplishing everything on my check list by May of 2016.
Academically I am not where I would like to be . I expect much more of myself than what I feel I have at the moment. If we are being honest, these colleges are absolutely not for me. I need to start smaller!  I have no desire to be in dept the rest of my life for a degree I can get cheaper somewhere else.

Is it worth it?

1. College has become the key to to the American dream in society today . Attending college level courses expands your education beyond a High school diploma and better prepares you for a future career. High school students tend to complain that what they do in school on a daily basis will never be used beyond their class room. College, on the other hand practices skills such as time management, and dedication to grades. Not to mention that these classes are just stepping stones you have to use to thrive in a career later on. I firmly believe that things have worth are to be earned and not handed to you on a silver platter. Although college is expensive and time consuming , it is worth every bit in my opinion. Ill spend as many hours as i have to in college if it means ensuring myself a significance in society.

2. People in America do not understand how easy they have it here . Kids in some countries cannot even imagine being able to wake up every morning and go to school. For example, in India tests like what we have here "STARR" are everything to them . If they do not pass their education is over and they are sent to work . There is no second chance for these kids , yet we complain when we have to go to class. We (along with myself ) should be thankful of the opportunities we have by living here considering the amount of knowledge we are able to obtain in comparison to the amount of children OUR AGE that cant even read.
