School

Being that this is my first year as a college student it really came to a surprise when I found out how much work is involved in maintaining passing grades. School was always planned out for me and now having to create my own schedule is not as fun as I imagined it would be. One thing that really annoys me is that there seems to be no time for anything because there is so much that needs to be done within a short period of time. Also, the biggest challenge is being able to make time for both school and work. A full time student has to juggle schoolwork, exams, and online work on top of having a full time job because college will not pay for itself. No matter how hard you try it seems that there will never be enough time to do both without being tired.

The biggest pay-off about going to school is knowing that you will not have to settle for basic jobs that require no skills. Furthermore, it is an opportunity to figure out what you truly want to get out of life. Having to go through all the challenges of college will eventually pay off and that day is when you will truly appreciate having gone through all of the challenges. What truly keeps me motivated is my natural curiosity for every subject. Being able to learn old things in different perspectives allows people to really understand the subjects being taught. This allows students to figure out what they would like to have as a career and what they definitely would not like as a career. What keeps me going is the ultimate pay-off. This would be a simple, fruitful life and not having to stress about how "ends meat" will be made.
