From my college experience, I hope to gain many things.

Obviously college is a time that students can truly become

individuals. When I attend college I will have the opportunity to

become more independent and to take on new responsibilities.

I have always relied on my parents for support, but at college I

will be on y own an will have to push myself harder. This will

help me to become more mature and will help me grow in

character.

Right now I have a fairly accurate idea concerning what I want

to do with my life. Yet, I am also aware that I may change my

mind several times before I begin a career. College will

introduce me to new and various things, an I will develop new

interests from this exposure.

During my high school years, I have been very involved in

school and community activities. In college, I will also be

exposed to new clubs and activities. Involvement in extra

events has provided a balance for rigorous course study. With

the pressures college brings, I will probably want to be

involved in many groups. I hope to find a balance between my

studies and my social life, and I hope to offer my leadership

qualities to my college community.
