By going to college I hope to get the education that I need in order to pursue my career in forensic psychology. Also, I hope to gain a sense of complete independence by living on my own and having to do everything for myself. I am going to college to major in forensic psychology and minor in criminal justice. I hope to eventually get my P.H.D and work for the BAU in the FBI. I am going to college for myself. I feel that getting a higher education after high schools is essential to my success. The characteristics that matter the most to me when I am choosing a college are the quality of the education, cost, location, and environment. When choosing the right college for me I will seek the input of my parents and counselors. They have always help guide me in a positive direction and give me honest opinions and advice regarding hard decisions I have to make. College will help me achieve my goals in many ways. Being on my own will force me to become independent, responsible, and self sufficient. Also, the way college classes are set up will help me with time management and prioritizing. After high school, going to college is the best option for me personally and I know it will benefit me in the future.
