Should college be a must?

    First of all I just wanted to say... I'm soo happy I'm finally on the blog!! Mrs. Fletcher and I have been struggling all week to get me on it. Anyway,  here we go again, the age old question, "Should I go to college or not?" Some say yes, some say no. With 100% confidence it can be said that no matter what one chooses in life there will ALWAYS be someone who disagrees. If we look to please everyone we will constantly be jumping from one foot to the next, always wondering who we are, where we stand and where we are going. College is somehow tough to get in, especially in a world that is becoming more and more competitive with higher levels of standards required to simply "get by," higher education is even more critical. One thing is for sure; everyone is different in what they are in life and all have different reasons for choosing their path. Education is a choice, a great choice with many doors that open afterwards. It may be tough but never impossible. If a person feels inclined to obtain an education, they should  do so. I believe that college may not be for every single being in this world, people can chose different paths and still be successful in many other ways. Everyone has their own opinion and definition to their own success.  People need to be told that it's okay to not go to college if it's not for them. I say follow your dreams and strive for your personal goals and achievements.

  1. I'm glad your finally on the blog! We need more participants. I am the kind of person who tries to please everyone else. Why? I don't know, I guess I just feel as if I need someone else's approval before attempting anything big. That shouldn't be the case though because it is my life and I make the choices; not others. So I agree with you. If you want to go to college, then go to college. If you want to go straight into the workforce, then go into to workforce. If you want to go into the military, then go into the military. Either way, it is your choice and you are the one who has to live with the choices you make, not others. Like you said, follow your dreams and accomplish your goals, not the goals and dreams that others want you to have.
