FREE ESSAY ON HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE

HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE

Throughout my life I have adapted to certain things that are truly unequal, unfair, and
unjust. There has always been a mountain in the way of a goal or a dream. But the
mountains of life aren't always there to make things difficult. They are there to make
you fight for what you want. And I feel that you have to fight to succeed this day and
age.
My fight is on for me to go on to college. I want to go to college more than anything in
the world. The reason it is so important to me is I would like to be the first one to
graduate from college in my family. I could then be a better role model for my younger
siblings and for my son. I could then show them that I took all of the mountains, the
inequalities, the unfairness, and the injustice and made it work for me. I could show
them that it is possible for poor, black children to go to college. With faith, hard
work, and perseverance anything is possible.
Anything can be achieved once you set your mind to it, and that's just what I want to let
them know. I think that if I can make it to college, I can always find ways to aid and
assist my family getting there.
My goal is to go on to medical school and to become a psychiatrist. I have always wanted
to be a doctor for as long as I can remember. I enjoy working with people, and I would
love to heal the world one person at a time. Mental illness is such a problem in our
country that I feel there should be more people to work with the mind. Psychiatrists,
psychologists, and neurologists are people who are shied away from. The reason is that
many people are in denial that they have a problem. That is the reason I want to be a
psychiatrist. I could help heal people from severe depression, suicidal ideation, and
other things that affect the mind. I think that if people weren't so afraid of admitting
that they have a problem, mental illness would be at an all time low. There are people
who need mental help, and aren't getting it. If they were getting the help that they
needed, many crimes would be constrained. 
With a college education, I can do anything I set my mind, heart, and soul to do. Then I
can be the best that I can be for myself, my son, and my family. Once I have completed my
college education, I will be on top of the world.
