Response

In my opinion going to college is just the next step after high school, it almost feels like in our time we don’t really have a choice since the economy is so bad and without an education it’s really hard for one to survive. I defiantly think that we should go to college and get a degree that will make us happy and that it will provide for our families. It’s not about the money itself it’s about accomplishing this huge step in our lives and being a well educated person. I’ve seen it in my husband’s family how college helped them to be so successful in their lives, my husband has 5 sibling all of them went to BYU and all of them have such a stable and happy lives it’s incredible. Ben the oldest is always traveling, last year they went to Egypt, Europe and South America. My husband and I are both in college trying to do the best that we can each day so that when our little children come we’ll set an example for them and provide all the things that a parent wants to give their child.
