<p>In answer to that, I am going because after leaving school at 14 due to medical reasons, I was smart enough to get well paying jobs, and got my Nursing assistant license and GED at 16 and could very well have lived off that (though not as well as I had with my parents) I just felt unfulfilled. I love learning, and the part I felt unfulfilled on was not that I missed out on the whole social aspects of high school, I actually easily make friends with much older people due to my experiences in life and them making me be an adult very early, and I like it that way.</p>
<p>I attend college for personal fulfillment, it makes me feel good in my life, and makes me feel much more productive than working everyday full time did. I love it and it makes me happy. Since re starting my uphill battle to begin school again despite serious medical issues, I took a couple classes part time at my local college, and went on to full time non degree student, and now I’m a full time degree student getting her Associates this semester and moving on to a university in the fall for a bachelors in psych and pre-pharm education. I love school so much I am solid and happy in my choice of a career, picked because of my experience working in the pharmacy, and even the 6 years of school after my bachelors degree can’t deture me.</p>
<p>Only having my right to a basic education taken away after middle school allowed me to appreciate learning enough to see myself doing it for as long as possible, or as long as I find it fulfilling in my life. For me, college is great for my soul!</p>
