As I begin to meet new people and hear about their struggles and how they see the world, I will be able to not be so closed minded and get open to new ways of thinking.
Lastly, I am in college because I happen to love school. I love the act of sitting in a classroom and jotting down notes while the teacher lectures the class. I enjoy the thought of doing something with my life other than sitting at home doing nothing but watch TV, sleep, and spend money. The fact that I want to be a teacher in the near future also validates the fact that I like being in school. College is basically the biggest step that I am going to take to improve my life, and there is always room for improvement.
