Many of the students in the video are choosing to go to college because they will be first generation college students. Many of them also want to graduate from college because of the financial aspect in that it offers more financial security than a regular high school diploma. In my opinion I want to go to college because I, too, will be a first generation college student. However, I will also be the first of my family to graduate from high school. I really want to experience college life because I feel like going to college after high school is a smoother and easier transition to adulthood than just entering the workforce. I think college will expose me to a bigger variety of people than I would have if I just get a job.It will also give me the opportunity to travel in the summer. Even though I do not know what I want to major in I will enter undecided. Once I am there I will surely be able to pick a major that interests me. Although I am nervous about the long nights of doing homework and studying I am also excited to be independent.
