All of our lives we all hear about our future and college, and how important it is to go to school and make something of our lives. From pre-school to our senior year of high school we are preparing for college, and to get out in the real world on our own. In high school we write papers that show us and introduce us to college writing, we take math classes to prepare for college math, and we even take ACT & SAT tests that let us know how ready we are to begin college.
I always planned on going to college, but when I had my first child I wasn't so sure if I wanted to go anymore. I had Molly when I was fifteen years old and a freshman in high school which wasn't exactly the right age to have your first child, but life takes us in unexpected turns. I made it through high school in three and a half years, so I did complete it. I had my second child at the age of nineteen from an amazing man that I am still with 3 years later. I wouldn't trade them for the world!
I started college two years after I graduated high school. I didn't think I was actually going to go, but I did. I decided that I wanted to pursue an education degree. I would love to teach young children. I look back to my years as a child and I loved my early elementary school teachers. I am in my second year of college and I won't lie it is tough. Besides school I have my family to take care of and I also have to work. I know its all part of life, but it is a constant struggle. This past week I almost quit college because I felt it was beginning to be to much! I knew in my heart that quitting would not be the right decision, so after I talked to my family they convinced me that I need to keep on going. I thank them for always being at my side to help and guide me through good and bad situations no matter what.
When I look at the long run of my life I know that going to school is my only option. I think college is a wonderful place to learn and to also find yourself and who you really are in this life. I am going to keep on going no matter how hard it gets and never look back!
