Free Write- My Decision towards College

Ever since elementary school, I always knew and dreamed of going off to college.  I didn't know exactly where, but I knew that's where I was going to go.  It was also not an option with my parents.  I HAD to go to college.  I had that push that not many kids got from their parents, and I'm happy I got that.  When it came to going into high school, that is where I had to really buckle down and get my stuff together.  High school is the place where colleges will determine whether or not you're eligible to go there.  I still had no idea where I wanted to go.  All I knew in my head was that I had to go to either a CSU or a UC.  When it came to senior year, It was finally time to start applying.  I applied to many CSUs and UCs.  Thankfully I got accepted to the majority of them.  It was super exciting to be getting college acceptance letters in the mail.  It truly is a good feeling to know that a school you applied for actually wants you.  At least that is what I thought.  I honestly did not have that much confidence in myself.  I was preparing for the worst.  Thank goodness everything pulled through and I had a good amount of choices.  Today, I attend Sac State and I am very happy with my choice!
