College for all essay

                                          College for All

Hello my name is Mayra Lenzotti and today I will talk about why I want to go to College for all trip. My biggest goal in my life is to be the 1st one of my family to go to college to either become a lawyer on a psychiatrist.The reason I want to become a lawyer for abused women is because mostly women are considered men property or put apart from reaching their dreams of becoming something in their life besides housewives. I always liked to defend people who are being treated badly and when those talk shows on TV come up about a women or girl that is being treated bad by their husbands, parent’s, or any family person I become really mad at the thought that it is 2011 and that females are still being treated like things and not even considered. Of course this doesn’t always happen but when it does it makes me upset. Probably I’m like this because growing up as an only child teaches you to be more independent and ready for whatever comes to me in life. Also probably because my mom and dad have taught me how to treat people fairly and when I see someone oppressing another person it upsets me.


Growing up in Oakland and in the Fruitvale community can teach you many things. People in this community usually all know each other and become real close to each other. A bad thing about living in Oakland is that it it easier for you to end up in gangs or being addicted to marijuana or alcohol. I know plenty of people like this who say “ I don't care about anything” or “life is to short and I'm just living mines” , but this is not right . Its okay if you have some problems but by turning to drugs,alcohol,and gangs you aren't going to make anything better , your only harming yourself and limiting the chances of you to become something in this life that benefit's the world. So your probably thinking why is this 13 year old girl telling me what to do with my life! What can she do about it? Well I'm just saying all of this because when I’m 25 and i want to start forming my family i don't want to be thinking twice about bringing an other life to the world to suffer. I want the world to be a safe, positive environment for all of us humans to live in because if we are destroying ourselves by throwing our brains into the trash and not caring than that's just going to make the world end sooner when you could of just listened to me to choose your friends wisely. So how is this going to help the world and get me to college?Well if you think deeply about this it really does help out. Most of today's teenagers( which will be our future adults of the world ) are influenced and oppressed by the people the hang out with or surround them to get into gangs , do drugs or drink alcohol. SO do you want that to be the world’s future? People who just work for their addictions? People killing others in the streets ? No order or peace? Is that what you want? Do you want the world to turn into a battlefield which is already happening in Iraq and Mexico. If you said yes you are just sick! But if you said no that means you are faithful and we must work together as humans to make the world a better place.

College means alot to me. It means having the satisfaction to say you got a career . It means your family will be proud of you. Going to college connects to my dream of becoming a lawyer  or psychiatrist because you need to go to college to be able to get a job like that. I would really like to go to college for all because it would be an awesome experience to see the daily lives of college students on campus to know what I'm going to go be in for in 4 years.
