SHOULD I GO TO COLLEGE?

If you would have ask me "What age I want to be?" Your answer would 15. At age 15, I had everything that I wanted and need. Everything was great. I had 2 best friends, I was also in a book club in school and I even had a plan for my future.

MY PLAN:
1. Finish High School
2. Go to college and become a Journalist
3. Move to the UK
4. Write my first book and publish it

Everything was looking bright for me. Until I got into my sophomore year, everything change. I met my first boyfriend. (BIG MISTAKE) It was hard to focus on my plan with him in the way. He began to change my plan.
By the time I got in to my Junior year, my plan was forgotten. Everyday I would tell him " I'm going to college to become a journalist." He always came up with the same answer," No. You won't make it. They are going to reject you." At that time, I wanted to break down. How can he say that? I was looking for support. Not negative comments. This what I want. I really wanted to make a life for myself. But he said this one day, " You can become a house wife." I though the idea was very crazy and imaginative.  First off I was 17 at the time. Second of all, not only I was too young to get married. I wasn't ready to become a wife and a mother at the age 17.

August 16, 2014,
It was the middle of the night, he call me to break up with me. I cried the rest of the night and that whole week. At that time I felt like my life was ruin and I also felt confuse. What should I do with my life now? I didn't know if I wanted to go to college or not. When I got back to school, I felt abandon, alone and lost. After one week of being in school, I blame myself. It my fault that we broke up. But my family kelp telling me "It's not your fault." But it does feel like it was my fault.
After a month we broke up, he text me. After that, I feel like a puppet and he was the one controlling the strings. I want to go to college, but it was him who was in the way in my dreams.
It took a month to get over him. Then after a month,  he text me. He said, " I want you back." I couldn't respond to that.
My senor year of high school was a little hard. I had too many choices.

MY CHOICES:
Finish Cosmetology
Go to college
Join the navy
Don't go to college, and look for a job.

I couldn't decide. Even when we were broken up, I feel like a puppet. He was the one controlling the strings. After I graduated, I decade not to go to college. (Big mistake I ever made!) Instead of going to college, I got a job. To this day, I wish I could go back in time and redo my decision. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I applied to college. And I really hope I can go to college this year.
To those people who are starting there señor year, my advice is stay in school. Getting a regular job is hard work. Sure you make a lot of money. But it's also hard work! And also enjoy your last year in high school. Enjoy all those little moments. Trust me theres time when I want to go back and redo my señor year.
