First Week..

Well, This week was the official first week back to college for my second year. I am no longer at the institution that had originally thought I would complete my college career. A community college is where I am currently enrolled and I couldn't be happier. I have saved a lot of money this year by attending this school instead of a large university. but there is one thing that every college student has to deal with that hit me really hard. I had to pay nearly $800 for books for only four classes. That is about $200 per class. They say that it is so important to get a college education to get far in life but now it is becoming more and more clear to me why so many students are beginning to drop out of college because they can no longer afford to attend even with help of the government and scholarships. If I were to give young students in the start of their high school career some advice it would be to start saving your money so that you are able to attend college without a worry of not having enough many to continue to pursue your dream. You should never have to give a dream just because you can't afford it. You can do anything that you set your mind to. Life throws us all for loops, you're not alone in any struggles. Keep your head held high and do your best. Show the world what you are made of! To all my friends that are also headed back to college this semester, "We have made it this far, Let's keep going!"
