When asked why is it important to you to further your education/attend a post-secondary Educational institution, she responded:

“Education is vital, it’s the key to success. Where money won’t take you, knowledge will. My passion is social work, that’s where my heart is and I would enjoy going to college for doing something I love. I don’t look at it as a secondary school, I look at it as a secondary home. Waking up with excitement, learning about your career. Prepping your day with the mindset of positivity as you walk through your classroom doors. College is not for everybody, understandable. But it is for me, it’s a chance to experience maturity for those who may lack it. Look past the “norm” that was accepted in high school and truly be different. Embrace different cultures and different set’s of people . Some people don’t go to college because they don't have a support system, anyone to push them. Luckily I do, I want to be the first child out of my siblings to attend a university. My mother pushes me to my full potential and motivates me. She wants me to do what she couldn’t, and I will. To do what my father couldn’t, and I will. I choose to be the success story. I have a great amount of family that will stand by behind me in my quest to seek higher education. So I will. I’d like to work for the state. To be a caseworker and assigned cases to help better lives. I want to be someone that is loved and well appreciated in their profession. Work in a foster care setting and taking broken and damaged children and teens; then turning their lives around for the better. Be that one star in a dim space. And I have to do it one step at a time. So what’s the first step? Higher education.”

When asked why is it important to you to further your education/attend a post-secondary Educational institution, she responded:
______________________________________________________
“This is important because this is a privilege for me. Many women are not able to go to college not only because of the cost but, the fact that they may have have to stay home and help with their family. Its also a privilege to attend college because in my family my mom wasn't able to go to college because she was a stay at home mom and my dad was apart of the Army. They were more focused on making sure we had a decent life. Going to college is not only a big thing to my family but, to me as well. I want to be a medical-mal practice attorney or an private defense attorney for black people. In hospitals black women are more likely to receive horrible care and/or die during pregnancy then white women. Doctors are more likely to ignore someone black or not find something then versus if it were someone white. When black people are convicted they always get a longer serving then someone of another race, when the charges are not even as high. With my education, I'd be number one in helping out more in the society then I even know and I would also set the example for my younger siblings. Being the oldest is hard at times but, then again it is something so amazing. Seeing your siblings look up to you makes you want to push yourself even harder everyday knowing they are fully behind you one hundred percent of the way. The second reason why it is a privilege to attend a post-secondary school is not only to set the example for everyone looking up to you, or who may not be able to go. It is because you can find your true purpose. In college you may go in with a strong mindset of what you want your major to is going to be. We also tend to grow up more in college so we may look at situations differently and majors will be changed. You may have walked into college majoring in psychology and some how by your junior year your majoring in economics. We all grow and change in college. College is where we learn actual life skills. Not saying that you cannot learn life skills going straight into the work force but, often times it is harder. At times going to college can help you out with finding a better job, leading you in the right direction, or to an easier life. Not saying life is easy at all because its not. Life is full of curve balls that will be thrown at you, but schooling can help so that way you aren’t just trying to survive your whole life. Not saying you need schooling for every and anything. But it will help you give back to the neighborhoods you wanted to, open up the homeless shelter, create fundraisers to help that struggling mom, and start non-profit organizations. Often times people are more likely to help or hire you when you have a degree. It is something that not only looks good on paper , but it is your true hard work. ✨”

Major: Business Management

When asked why is it important to you to further your education/attend a post-secondary Educational institution, she responded:

”Education is very important to me and in order to move ahead in life, not just get by but to really succeed and prosper, I must get a college degree, opening up many closed doors that a high school diploma couldn’t open for me. College is very important to me because it can equip me with the tools and knowledge I need to do better in life and not just barely making it, it can also help me to have a more open mind set about life. Now I understand I need a good college education and more knowledge to move ahead in life. I’m only 18 but I do hair and I want to open up my own Hair Salon & I’m also the CEO of My Lipgloss Collection (Royale’s Lipgloss Collection) conquering sooo much at a young age helped to to understand the value of life. Having that communication with others, having that drive to do so really makes things fall into place. Being CEO of my own clothing brand will help me to expand my horizons. College can also enhance skills in areas of work that high school don’t teach you and that’s what I’m learning, I need a degree that can also provide me with promotions in the near future. Becoming an entrepreneur will set me in the right path to further my dreams, goals and aspirations. So In my conclusion I’ve come to realize that going to college will be one of the best decisions you can make in your life and finishing college is something I’m looking forward to. I’m Gethsemane Parker and I will be Attending Virginia State University furthering my career in Business Management!! “ @ Whale Branch Early College High School
