How to go to college"I'm well on my way to achieving my goal as a writer, so I feel college is exactly where I need to be."
How I did it: I started by ridding myself of the negitive influences in my life and made a point not to return back to them, whether they be people or things. Working from the inside out. I wasn't perfect and am not going to be anytime soon. But bettering youself is always better than standing idle. Lessons & tips: Only that education is more valuable than gold. Money can't buy intelligence. However intelligence can afford money. :D Resources: The best place to get started is to find out how much you don't have to afford.

How I did it: Applied to schools I was interested in, got accepted, and I'm now going to college. ^_^ I wasn't a very... attentive... Student in high school. Fortunately for me, I'm the kind of person that grasps concepts very quickly, the kind of guy that can pick things up as soon as they're explained just once.If not for that, I'd be very screwed at this point in my life. I highly recommend people pay attention and LEARN in high school. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've been at college for a month now, so technically I can check this off.

ill be the first in my family to attend college and my major in civil engineering is what will take me out of mesquite is God doesn’t first. My parents and teachers and true friends know where my heart is and it all lies within this one dream.
After I have finished my exams, I am planning on leaving my Secondary school on the hopes of having a fresh start at a College near my home to do my A Levels. Leaving school means that I will be going on my own, leaving all my friends and teachers behind. However, I feel like this is something I need to do to rebuild my confidence.
I graduated high school in 2000 and have yet to proceed to a college education. I feel that I have somewhat stunted my growth mentally by not furthering this part of my life. I have always put limitations as to why I could not be in school or afford it for one way or another. Relocating numerous times throughout these years have also made limiting thoughts take place before I have even started the process. I am learning that this pattern of limiting or sabotaging myself before getting started has held me back on many dreams and goals that I have and wish to conquer in my life. This is a start for me to see my own dreams in writing and to visually appreciate it for myself and to know that I am worth everything that I wish so longingly to be and achieve. I am the only person that feels that I should not be prosperous. I hope to discover why I have sabotagex myself so that I can move onward open and free..
thenewone Might be going parkouring this weekend
I’ll put this back on my list when I’m at the end of my Junior year in high school.

I went with my parents to an open evening on Thursday, the place was MASSIVE. They had really high tech recording studios and a room of Macs and a room of PCs JUST for music tech students! Very impressed. Gonna send my application this weekend, then I have another open evening to go to on Thursday. It’s great that college is free in the UK. :3
I am most likely to take: music tech, computing, philosophy and chemistry. Not sure about chemistry though.
this has definitely been expected from my parents for like my entire life…and this is one thing i agree with them on, i want to go to college and be able to actually support myself
My goal is to get a good career in profession, have a happy family & try my best to do useful contribution to community, it may be a charity or donation.
