My Motivation To Attend College

Many times people are bounded to make a choice that can strongly change their lives, for many teens like myself going to college is a "choice." For othets it is a "must do" because their parents make them attend college. In My case goin to college was a "choice" becaus I was the one who was supposed to make my into it. I was the first person in my family to ever graduate from high school as I am the first person from my family to attend college. My motivation to attend college is myself. There are many factors that push me to attend college such as: getting a better education, learning from others such as classmates and listening to their opinions. The biggest motivation is I have is myself. I love taking a challenge and exploring no matter whether I failure or triumph are present. I know that any decision I make is always going to affect myself before others. My family is very important to me, but the way I think is that I have to think and act for myself and not others, that it is a matter of choice whether I help them or not. With my family I have experienced many things that have made me realized that whatever I do I am never going to make others happy or they are never going to be satisfied. I understand all the love and time that they have dedicated to me but, I also think that if I make my mom happy or my brother I am not going to make my uncles happy. If I am not going to satisfy them or make them happy why would waste my time trying to? It would be like swimming against a strong curret, no matter how hard I swim I am just going to get tired and finally not reach anywhere. If I let myself be drag by the current I will get somewhere who knows where but it would be better than going against it.
