Why I Want To Be An Early College Essay

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” -John Dewey. This quote represents my view on how education plays its way into life. Early College is a way I can take an education to help better my future. I want to go somewhere in life, and I want to prove that by going the extra mile. Early College will not only provide the education I need, but it will also shape me into the adult I hope to become. I believe wholeheartedly that I am an excellent candidate for this program.

I love the sport because it incorporates my flexibility and control. I have gone to regionals the past two years, and have been an alternate for state both years.
