College Didn't Need Me


I thought school was only for scholars, Cats, with top-dollars who’ve been served the silver platter of success from the beginning. Prone to winning, instead of loosing i thought choosing college wasn't a choice for me. Me, a girl with no academic proof of a superior intelligence. No cash to blow or no specific talent to show In fact it was very easy to realize and rationalized that college didn't need me. I thought college wasn’t a institute for dreamers only hard workers, who have dedicated their life to attend in contrary to those who ruled out college to begin- with.. Slackers , like me. Who wasn't ready to live the real world college was offering. So I figured, college didn’t need me. College, with all its opportunities keys to a brighter and better future and its grand epitome of learning and gaining didn't need someone like me shaming their campus. So yes, its true college didn't need me However, I need college. I, a reformed apathetic young women trying to salvage any slight chance of a brighter tomorrow Needs to permanently borrow, what college can offer me a challenge to make me better academically and as a person.
