Many people in my opinion will go to college to make their parents proud because that's what their parents want, or just because that's what you should do after high school. Well I'm in college for many reasons and that is to provide for my son and give my family an extra helping hand! Also another reason is that I love helping people, as do Nurses. To begin with, I'm in college to make a better life for my son. By going to college and graduating with a four year degree I can get a really helpful job to support my sons needs, a job that will most likely have me set for the rest of my life. I wont have to worry about my son not having a stable lifestyle because that's what he really needs. As my son grows older, he will notice what going to college has done for us and how successful I've become. Being a healthy role model for my son is really important. I'd want him to be able to look up to me and say after highschool he wants to go to college to further his education also. It will be the cherry on top when my son will be able to see me on stage graduating. I'm in school not only to make my son happy, but my parents too. My parents have done so much for me in life, making sure I've got everything, It wouldn't hurt to give a little back and succeed. I'm in college because I want to make something of myself and say "Why yes, I am a Nurse full-time," when someone asks me what my occupation is while at a casual party. I want a nice car, nice house, with a huge backyard, where my son can run around and play. Yes I know, typical "American Dream", but that's what I'm really looking forward too. Furthermore, I want to obtain a bachelor's degree of science in nursing. I love helping people, ever since I was little I knew I wanted a job that was involved in helping people. Its the best feeling knowing that I can make someone feel at ease or at least try to comfort them in the best way possible. It doesn't matter to me what the situation is, It'd just be so gratifying knowing that I can show my skills and set the situation off to a brighter side. Also having medical skills can come in such handy, and getting a job in the medical field is a really smart decision because it will never die down. There will always be sick people to tend to, old people to care for, viruses and diseases spreading around, and of course the unexpected happening. Unless scientists came up with some crazy miracle vaccination that would make people immune to everything, then the medical field would be straight out of luck... ha-ha just kidding, maybe in a couple hundred years! To conclude, these are my reasons on why I'm in college. My son, Family, and helping people are huge priorities of mine. I'm really excited about this journey, I will go on forth. I'm ready for the blood, sweat, and tears. Its going to be stressful juggling school, a job, and being a mother of one. That's no problem for me though, I'm unstoppable!
