Why did I decide to come to Mountain View College? I came for a successful future, I see college is where it would begin for me, because it opens a door of new opportunities, and new learning experiences. This will prepare me for what I want to pursue in my career. I want to earn my associates in psychologist, and even some certificates for child development to benefit me and allow me to make more money. There are a few reasons that I choose to attend Mountain View College, one is because my family and a friend have told me that this is a great college to get an associate’s degree. I have been told that their classes are self paced, useful, and the instructors are very helpful. One of the most rewarding things is I am being a role model for my family. I see college transforming me into that woman that I believe I can be; that is more professional for the business environment, and always carrying myself in a sophisticated and respectful manner. Very educated and having behind me first and most God and the knowledge to succeed and overcome any obstacles in front of me. College is also a step up for me; I am the first in my family to actually attend. So when I really made that move to go back to school they were very happy for me and it began to motivate them to do more with their lives. I know that me going to college makes a difference, my baby sister has already applied to over 8 colleges her senior year and 5 have accepted her. My older sister started some classes online to get her back on track. So I am setting a new tradition for my family members in the process. Sometimes it is so easy to tell people go to college it’s the best choice you can make, but sometimes they need to see someone going and see how it is benefiting their lives. My motto is let’s not talk about it let’s be about it. That’s the reason that I am attending Mountain View college, times are getting harder and if its education that make it a little easier for me than that is the direction I will continue to go down, because not only am I making a difference in my life, but also in those lives around me.
