The typical college student will tell you that when he/she graduates, he/she will be able to change the world. In some cases there is great change, take Apple corporation’s “changed the world” when they rolled out the personal computer. That was a breakthrough but in my opinion, no world was changed. Some people in places like Africa are still hungry and we’re here worrying about the battery life of our devices.
We need more students in college to shape the future but at the same time, we need to help out our brothers and sisters who need all the assistance they can get and that is exactly what I plan to do. I want to go back to Africa, to my hometown Kenya so I can assist my people fight the poverty and all the other problems associated with the lack of education. That is my definition of changing the world.
Why would I want to do all this? Why go all the way back to Africa with the degree I earned and not seek out opportunities here in the U.S where it is more rewarding? Well, that’s called compassion. I understand what those people go through every day because I was in the same situation at some point in my life. What I also know is how it feels when you lend a hand to people who actually need help. What is more exciting is seeing the expression on children faces when they receive what they were missing in their life. Would your typical college graduate do all that? Maybe, after all, there are many good people in the world.

Choice is something everyone has. I think of this word as the most important thing in this world. Some things are predetermined by a greater force but choosing somehow is something left on each individual to do. Some people may not realize it but the choices we make either poor or good may affect our future in great/bad ways. School is a good example, people or that individual person who ace at their coursework may not be born to be smart, but he simply chose to pay attention in class and study more than his fellow classmates. That alone should tell us to take a second of our life and make that choice that can perhaps affect our entire lifespan. After all, your future depends on you and as well as every choice you make. To start building a better future for myself, I selected the road of mechanical engineering. This decision came by to me when I was younger, I for long had and still crave it and want to become someone in that field, I want to be able to help my family and my country. I will of course encounter a lot of obstacles in my journey towards that dream but I will let nothing stop me from achieving it.

reflection
going to college is really important to me and that is why I wrote its significance. In my home country, it was expensive and also hard to get assistance. I moved to the United States mainly for the education opportunities
