A little baby step to becoming a self supportive individual, and that step is going to college. For some college isn't the place to be, others maybe have they skipped it and even gotten a job right after high school, but for me college is something I had to do to be able to achieve what I want to do with my life.
As I contemplate the aspects and weigh the goods and bads about college, I can't help but to think what college really is to me and so many others. The answer came faster than I thought it would, college is yet another stepping stone put in place that people either pick or don't pick to do. In all honesty, I envy the people who don't have to follow the norm or the mainstream aspects of America and do things in their own way; those are true self motivated people who are strong in so many ways.
College again is something I have to do, because I want to become an art teacher and inspire those who aren't very interested in art to find something special about themselves. I know I don't have to be a teacher to inspire others but I thought long and hard about how to inspire people. In the end I found out the best way was to start some where young, where people can still grow and mature.
This same idea about catching people at a young age reminded me what my college experience is actually helping me out right with now. My classes i'm taking now and the experiences I am learning with them are being taught to me at an age where I understand them and can actually grow and mature even more with them. This is what college I feel is going to teach me the most, a more broader way to understand, to learn and to grow.
In the end, I can set goals for myself to see how others are helping me grow so I can do just the same later on in life when I finally become an art teacher and have students of my own.
