why college

The Why questions of College

            Why did I come to college?  I came to college for three reasons.  The first reason is to get an education that way I can earn more money when I get a job.  Money is not everything but yet it is very important. In my mind I want to be one of those husband and fathers that can give his wife and kids anything they need.  That way I have no sleepless nights worrying about money.  The next reason is to get the knowledge to get all of the certifications I need to get a job in the field I want.   This is really important in my field of health promotion.  The more certifications you have the better chance you have of getting a job.  The last reason I came to college is for football.  I came to Missouri Southern to play football.  I would of have gone no matter what but football is a big part of why I came to college. 

What do I hope to learn about myself from going to college?  What I hope to learn about myself is what my true self is.  I don’t really know who I am or different things like that but I know as I go through college and football and have adversity I will discover my true self and really learn the most about myself.

What advantages do I hope to gain from going to college?  The first thing I hope to gain form going to college is lifelong friends.  I don’t have any from high school so I hope to gain some here. Some people that I can count on forever.  The next thing I hope to gain is a degree and lots of certifications to go with it so I can get a job.  That last thing I hope to gain out of going to college is to find my real self and know what I want and were I’m going and how it will turn out.

With these advantages I will have a great future after I get out of college. In my last semester of college I have to do an internship. With this internship I would like to go back home to Maryville Missouri and do an internship with Joe Quinlin the Strength Coach at Northwest Missouri State University. I want to go here because I have had great times when I have participated in Joe’s Speed and agility camps and I would like to learn more about all of the bands and speed training we did in this camp.   After I get done with this internship I would like to get a grad assistant job with their strength staff this way I could get even more experience. Also with this grad assistant job they would pay for my school. With this I would get a minor in nutrition. So over all I would have a bachelor degree in health promotion and wellness and a minor in business management and nutrition.
