Reflection of Task 3

 Since I have been little all I have ever wanted was money, money so I could buy things to make other people happy, and myself as well. From a fairly early age I knew the only way of obtaining a job was to become more educated than the average working class people. In high school i was a C student my first two years, my last two I was an A/B student. I have started slacking a little bit in my first year of college, having learned my lesson I hope to switch that around. Barba Jordan mentions that it's not a good idea for people to go to college if they dont have the want or desire to go, I do believe that she's right. I know what it's going to be like if I dont have have a college degree, so thats why I have the want to go to college, to be successful.

Why did I decide to go to college?

I decided to go to college to one: learn more and two: I want to be successful in life. I work construction right now, I dont want to do that for the rest of my life. It's good money, horrible hours, and very little time off. I want a job where I can work normal hours, have time off and make lots of money doing a job I enjoy. It's also an accomplishment I want to make.
