Having a goal and anticipating challenges will drive you to go to College

Going to College is the most important part of everyones education, many would consider it not. But actually going to College is not an option it is a necessity for me. Not only preparing you to the real world on how you may become working with a bunch of professionals that ranges from "pretenders" to "genuine" ones.

Nowadays, tuition fees for College are rising as always and our parents are really having hard time providing that money for us to continue college. Just to tell you how a teen or a family needs to cope up with this problem.

Currently I am a working professional in one of the multi-national company I graduated in a Private school with christian centered school. When I was in 3rd grade I already saw how hard life was, when my father work as a musician can only provided us food in our table and sometimes not sufficient and my mother need to go to my aunties to work for them just to cover up the finances.

Personally, I took the challenges and by choice I worked at an early age of 9 in a small cafeteria as a dish washer in the market having to anticiapte the financial constraint that I may not be sent to school I have the drive to pursue my education even with or without my parents support.

Fortunately, this preparation and anticiapation have made me not only confident but also made me a very responsible person which helps in my study habits and time management since I have to go to work after class at 3PM to 6PM onwards and every Sat and Sun at 6AM to 5PM.

All of this made me to become a consistent honor and scholar to high school until I graduated in College even though it was hard for me to be the valeditorian in the graduating class I was so satisfied and my family most specially. Because if I may be like them having to study in full time, I can have that award anyway.

Right now the attitude of having to anticipate challenges made me a better father and a husband as well.

So the lesson sons and daughters out there, do not always put the burden to your parents in going to school it is always important and better if you anticiapate this challeneges like finding money to school anyway that brings family close even more because you are supporting one another. And what more better things can brigh to you, it is moulding you to become a more responsible person.
