Girl... step out of the box and take a look at yourself. You are SO blessed! You have parents that LOVE you, You're SMART, and you have the ABILITY to go to college. I WANTED to go to college when I was young, but my parents told me that they would not help me because they have 3 other kids. I tried working AND going to school but it was really hard and I wasn't getting by. I ended up joining the military and FINALLY was able to go to college.
School may sound like it sucks and isn't really needed. But go look at some job advertisements. I have 5 years of IT supervisor military experience AND an associates with computers and people STILL will NOT talk to me unless I have a 4 year degree. And I'm only 3 classes away from it!
I am going to be 26 when I finally get it and I feel like I'm so behind everyone else. Go to college and just get it over with. You can't say that college will always be there for you. The scholarships that you have earned, your ACT scores, and even possibly your parents help might not be there in the next couple of years. Don't let college be a "someday" thing, because it might never happen. |
