In college I hope to get an associates degree and possibly an art degree. I also want to gain life experiences and meet like minded people. I am going to college for myself but also for my parents and my little sister. My dad is the only one that has an associates degree, so it motivates me to accomplish that goal of mine. I want to go to college for them to prove that with hard work it is possible. I think it's important to look at the degree you want and pick a college accordingly. For example, going to Harvard wouldn't be reasonable for an aspiring athlete. For me, the size and location matters. I want to go to a college far away, but not too far from home. Size matters to me because I've always been in a small town, and a small school, so I want something different and bigger. I will seek input from my parents and counselors regarding college because, although I know what I want, they can help me put the pieces of everything together. College will help me achieve the goals that I have set out for my life because it will give me the foundation that I need to start my career as a freelance artist. Without having knowledge on a professional level, I don't think I could excel very far as far as marketing and aesthetics goes.
