I'm the oldest of 7 kids, I refuse to stay home and go to a community college. I grow up watching all my female (HMONG) relatives getting married in high school and then by the time they graduate, they have like 2 kids already. There's nothing in life for them, I feel as though they basically lost their chance of living life as a full teenager. I want to experiences live at the same time get an education so I want can be better off in the future. I don't want to depend on a guy, basiclly I want to be successful and independent.
who says that marriage is about kids and depending on the husband? I've been married for 4 years now, but I am very independent and have no kids, and I don't go to a community college. It's all up to what an individual wants to do with their life. If they want to have kids, that's their desire. If they end up going to community college and didn't want to at the first place, that's their own hard decision to make. You can be married at the same time and not be tied down with all that stuff and still be successful and independent.
get it?
But.. to answer the question..
College is the REAL place where you grow up and find out who you really want to be. In senior year of HS, you may think you're already 18 and stuff.. and probably feel that you have your life plan all mapped and planned out.. but things change.. Your interests really change and you may end up changing your major, maybe re-planning your whole life again.. You meet people from all over the world.. even community colleges have students from all over the world. We have korean, chinese, japanese, and even thai students going to the tech colleges here too, because the university is so expensive. In college, you have access to study-abroad programs, internships, jobs, all kinds of things that are offered for young college students that will help you decide what you want to do in your life.
People also go to college to complete their goals, whether it is to become a doctor, a professor, a scientist, lawyer.. college is the key
