Do We Need College Right Away?
Growing up, education was very pushed on me. I am the youngest of six children, all of which have either gotten a Bachelors, Masters, or PhD/Doctorate. My parents weren't overly stern on getting the best grades, or having the best ACT score, but overall, they wanted us to have a bright future. They didn't want us to struggle in life with money or other issues they faced in their early years. For the twelve years of public school I was in, I knew that I was going to college. Up until the end of my senior year, I looked forward to it and I knew exactly what I wanted to be. Of course, as the end of my last year in public school approached, all of my thoughts changed. Did I want to spend another four years in school, doing something I didn't even really want to do, only to have qualification for a job I didn't even want? I had a scholarship, and I didn't want to tell my parents I didn't want to go to college, so I stuck with it, packed my stuff at the end of the summer, and moved in to my dorm.

What I Have Learned from Being Alone
As a middle and high schooler, I constantly compared myself to other girls and how they had boyfriends. I usually would feel insecure about it, because well, I never had one. I would wonder, "Why doesn't anyone ask me out? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not skinny enough? Do boys not think I am cool enough, or nice enough, or smart enough?" It was always a back and forth thing that ultimately led to me hating myself... these questions always targeted my biggest insecurities and held me back even more.
