Why we should go to college?

      During my high school career, as a students I begin to question the importance of a college education. I might find myself asking, “Why is it important to go to college?” And I told to my self, attending college provides opportunities if  I graduated with a widespread of  higher education for sure there is a better future for me.
     It cannot be denied in the present situation of our country we are now facing an economic crisis. As a student we should do our share in order to solve such problem. Since our parents are trying their best to send us in school to finished our chosen courses we should value this things because are parents believe that education is the only profit that they can give to us.No one can take this whatever happens even if are parents will left us in the future at least they will be confident that we are good enough to face the world. Going to college help us to easily enter a stable and decent job it will make us to be responsible and a better person. If a person is educated she/he can stand with her own and it could be a good citizen of our society. Because in the future we need to be dependent to our self, later we will have our own family and we need to find some resources in order for us to support our family and if you are a college graduate it will be easy for you to find resources because you have the skills and knowledge of whatever job you will enter.

Student should have determination,courage,hope,patient,dreams,initiative to their study and have faith in God for sure nothing is impossible for them not to finish their study. And most all if are parents are always there to support and guide us I'm sure student will be serious and inspired to learn and finish their study. By completing the attendance in school, participating to necessary activities, submitting all the necessary requirements and most of all student like me will study hard in order to pass all the subject being enrolled in school. So that whatever challenges,obstacles and problems come to our life while we are studying always remember that, its only a challenge and test for us to learned from all of this, just take it easy, manage and handle this very well.
Tips:
