In the paragraph above I explained a little about my life as a child and what it taught me is that life doesn't always go the way you want it to; with that in mind college would be my choice, it would be what I want. The reasons why I want to go to college may not seem significant enough to you, but they also mean so much more to me than you will realize. There's this quote, I don't know who said it, but I think it means a lot; “You were born to be real, not to be perfect”, this quote works perfectly with what I'm trying to tell you.
