The people in my english class can all understand this without explanation…

Why do I go to college? Its so annoying having to wake up at 545 every single morning. I hate some of my teachers, hate the commute so why do I even go? It is almost every day that I deal with this and I come up with a basic answer. I need college if I want to get anywhere in life- everyone says it but the reality is, they are all right.  Being around people who I know that went to college and graduated and being around the ones who didn’t go or finish- the difference is huge- and my mind is at ease when I realize that in the end everything will be MUCH easier once college is done- and finishing is non-negotiable.

In the eight picture slideshow I have made, there are really three different types of categories.  The pictures of Eli Manning, Michael Jordan and myself lifting trophies are all connected. I consider myself a winner and a leader, something those two excel at. The picture of me holding the trophy was from my varsity championship basketball game. Next is a picture of two of my nephews, Alex and Harry, and beside that is a picture of me and two of my friends. I am a big family and friends guy and they help shape me to who I am today, and always push me to be better. Lastly, the two pictures that have quotes and the helping hands pictures are connected. Martin Luther King Jr. said it best, “what are you doing to help others?” I ask myself this question everyday, as helping others is a big part of my life. This past summer I was a counselor in “Camp Kaylie” which is a camp in which they integrate both “typical” and “special” children. I did that because I wanted to help kids to give them a great summer, and to give their parents a break. I want to accomplish things that when I wake up the next day or month or year, I will be proud of what I did in the past.
