 Should You Go to College?

Should You Go to College?
Having done with high school, most of us are either relieved or worried. Most often, we are relieved from the thought that high school days are over and it is time to face something different. We get excited at the idea that we will be tackling something new and loving the kind of freedom along with it. College life steals you away from the given comforts of your home to a new phase where you’ll have to find the comforts yourself. So while pushing yourself for higher education, you are learning to live independently. For others who are lucky, college life is easy. They can choose what school to go and what course to take, their parents would always back them up with adequate moral and financial support. On the other hand, for others who are less lucky, college life can be tough. Facing college is a vexing choice. Not knowing where to go or what to do because they have no means of financial support, which is a fundamental requisite for any college education. Attaining college education requires a great deal of money and if you don’t have it, well you can always choose to let it pass for awhile, but time is precious you can’t let it pass you by. The stress that comes from knowing you have no means to get by clouds your future goal. Without college education, your dreams and hopes for tomorrow falter and you may fall short of your expectations. It can be hard. You do not want to let that happen, in fact you cannot let it happen. In order to avoid the dilemma you resort to the diverse alternatives that somehow will put you in college regardless of what you lack. The scholarship funds and scholarship sponsors are always there you can opt for it. Or perhaps practice a school sport you can do so well in exchange for free financial obligations academically. But if that’s not how you make it through there are scholarship exams (you ought to pass) that may grant your tuition fee free! They say quality education is quality expensive. Well, it’s true. But there are many affordable state colleges out there that offer the same quality education that good private universities do. Real education has nothing to do with the name of the school, but it does have something to do with you. Choose your school wisely, one that suits you perfectly, and prepare you with what you need to live your dream out in the real world someday. You just have to do your part.

If you learn a language at high school, just think of your post high school opportunities - from an MBA especializado in Spain to volunteer work in Brazil, you will have the widest of horizons to enjoy for your proessfional life!

 The Basics of a College Admissions Essay

BEING a college student is indeed challenging. In fact, some of the homework that your instructor will tell you to do is more difficult than the ones you will encounter later on in your professional life. That’s because you will be tested to the limit of your skills while in college so that once you’re working already, you will know immediately what to do in case you’ll suddenly be given a specific task.
If you aspire to be a good writer, I’m pretty sure that you will write at your own pace once you’ll start a career in writing already. Nobody will ever pressure you to meet the deadline in writing your novel, not even the publisher except when you are legally bound by a package contract of say ten years. But college is different. In that part of your student life, you will be constantly pressured by your English instructors in honing your writing skills.
A college admissions essay is hard in the sense that it does not have a definite structure. If you are writing a college admissions essay, act as if you are a member of the Toastmasters mastering his extemporaneous speech. A college admissions essay is just like an extemporaneous speech although in written form. Just write spontaneously on what you like to write but don’t get off-topic. If you have remembered something that ought to be written in the middle of your essay while you are already writing at the end part, don’t hesitate to insert those words in the middle of the essay. We are not using typewriters these days anyway where you need to encode the whole thing from top to bottom of the page. These days, we use computers so it’s easy to insert a few words at the middle of the page.
There are a few guide questions in writing a college admissions essay. First, you need to convince your admissions evaluator why you need to go to college. Parallel to that, he or she likewise needs to know your background – whether you are a spoiled kid who is forced by the parents to get a degree; or someone in the slums who needs to get away from a hard knock life.
Once you’ve written a rough draft of your essay, pass it around to a few people. Start with your high school chum. Your childhood friend serves as your simplest critique from a peer’s point of view. If your topic is about your ambition to become a doctor and if you have a physician friend, then don’t hesitate or be shy to let him read your paper. He or she can surely improve your topic. Of course, you don’t have to insert other medical jargon in your essay. Fit it as really something that was written by a potential college student. After all, it is not called college essay because it is a professional research paper. Then lastly, you can also have your essay proofread by an English major student or even by a newspaper editor. He or she makes sure that your essay doesn’t have any English flaws and constructed very smoothly.
