What are your reasons for going college? 

My main reason for wanting to go to college is because I want to make my family proud. I want them to know that they raised a brilliant child who isn't afraid to take on any challenge that comes her way. My parents have supported me for this long and I cannot let them down now. Growing up, we didn't have much and I want to make sure that my children don't have to go through this. I want to be able to give back to my parents and grand-parents because they have shaped me into the wonderful person that I am today. None of my family is very well off and my real goal is to able to help them all get back on their feet. Going to college will allow me to do this. I will become a mechanical engineer that makes way more money than both of my parents. Right now I can't pay them back, but eventually I will be able to.
