Take advantage of what school has to offer

I sometimes wonder why people that have all the opportunities in the world such as Financial Aid, support from parent’s, financial stability , don’t take the advantage of attending to college and attaining a higher education.

Then there are those unfortunate people that are not priviliged enough to go to college because they might not be legal citizens, or they just don’t have the financial means to pay for classes,books and school materials. Or some might not have the time for school because they have to work to support a family.

Unfortunately, these people are the one’s who dream of attending college, attaining a higher education and becoming successful in life.

Meanwhile, we, who possess the opportunity to attend college, don’t advantage of of all the help the college offers. The college offers workshops, counseling services, tutoring and labs to promote our academic success. Such programs helps students with any difficulties or obstacles that the student might encounter. We might think attending school three or five days a week is a hassle and that in doing so we automatically know everything.

We need to realize that these programs are offered by the college for a reason. The reason being that we do not know everything, and we do need help on some subjects.

As for us that do not take these programs in consideration, we should make an effort of taking advantage of these workshops. It will not harm us, it will only make us smarter and more successful in our academic life.

Sometimes we might feel like quitting school due to problems in our academic or personal lives. But remember, quitting school and becoming a middle-aged nobody is an even far worse life than that of a student’s.

Like my counselor say’s: There is going to be an end to this sooner or later, but there will definately be happy ending.

So take advantage right now that we are in school, and for those that can’t come to college because they don’t have the opportunity’s their would be an opportunity sooner or letter, but everyone has the right to learned and be successful in life.
