Why college is so important to me.
| Family is number one in my family, and nothing would lift my family more, than me being the first one to go to college. College is where you find out the real values of being a person and see who people really are, for better and for worse. Going to college changes you from a high school student reeling from the past to a college student excited for the future. |
I am the first in my family to ever go to college. This would be the greatest achievement in my whole life and in my family's life. I also could lead the way for the rest of my family so that the number of college graduates in my family will forever increase.
Pepperdine university is my first pick for my favorite colleges list. It is the #71 research university in the world. Although they have a 37.3 percent acceptance rate, it is the college that I personally would want to go to. And it would of course make my family proud and happy.
