What I hope to gain from attending College

It was my childhood dream to study in a college like my older siblings and cousins. Now when the time has arrived to start studying in a college, I have already started to try to behave like an older adult. I have huge expectations from this time of my academic life. It is said that college is a time to discover one's own individuality which is full of experimentations and successes both. I understand that, it is the time to start working to achieve my goals for a bright professional life in future. It is the time to create lifelong memories and new pals. I am mentally prepared that first year of my college may accompany both positive and negative experiences, that may bring eternal changes in me.

I was a brilliant student in high school. Everything seemed too achievable. Hence coming to the college, I do not anticipate that things would be much difficult for me. But in order to keep up my academic achievements, I have been told by my seniors to remember two things. First, there is nothing in this world that comes easy and it is more important to learn the material than achieving good grades and knowing nothing.

I anticipate, my most immediate and major challenge will be to reallocate myself from learning simple things under constant supervision of my teachers to learning a huge set of complex things by taking my own initiative. In the beginning this change may leave me feeling completely lost and less certain in my ability to take effective decisions. To become a successful my college will help to improve my tendency to learn new things and develop new mind-sets. My college will help to enhance my ability to do things differently and this creativity will provide the capacity to view things from an angle that others have not seen and eventually show a new direction.

The classroom is the place where we learn new things not just from attending lectures but we also get a chance to learn from the relationships we make. Like I did in my school, I plan to make new friends in college. It will be a great opportunity to learn about new things, like different religions or cultures, the way others view and live their lives. I believe that this is a great opportunity to learn everything new from my surrounding.

In order to achieve my long-term goals what I need in the current and upcoming environment is very obvious. My most immediate goal is to be able to take appropriate and well-planned decisions in small amount of time that should bring good results for my current academic and prospective professional life both. By understanding most current academic and professional trends more closely I will be able to achieve my goals in more efficient manner. My valuable strength is my dedication towards my academics and career. I my school days, I was always ready to spend as much time and energy as needed in order to complete the task given to me by the teachers. In college I will build on this strength and set an admirable example for my class mates, by working even harder without any restriction.

College life will give me an opportunity to learn to improve and display the most appropriate behavior at all times and act as a role model for others and learn to correspond effectively to inspire others in the classroom. I would like to see myself as a brilliant student whose vision is clear, who is having a great idea of what to do next together with a firm understanding of what academic success looks like and how to accomplish it. But this is not just about having a vision; I see myself also sharing and acting upon it. After attending my college, I intend to prove myself an effective citizen who builds a vision, communicate it with others, passionately work on it and persistently take it to completion.

I also expect to get more freedom after starting my college. Some youngsters start to behave wildly and become uncontrollable due to their brand new freedom, but in the end they usually regret for the things they did due to the freedom. Whereas some, step into this new phase of life with great caution, which also sometimes become headache. I think I would prefer a healthy balance between these two extreme behaviors.

In these few years time I would like to see my goal for achieving good grades materialized, my dreams coming true and my motivation still at the highest point to achieve even more. My aim is to achieve a qualification that impacts my entire life in extremely positive manner. I intend to choose subjects that, in long run, can bring a "positive impact" on my professional career. I am willing to have made momentous achievements in my college days to a point where I should face no difficulty in choosing my most preferred subjects in University. I will make my college teachers appreciate everything I do. It is my priority to prove myself as a brilliant student in college too.
