*Inspiration*

My inspiration is College graduates. When I see or hear that someone has just graduated from a college or university, it gives me inspiration and the feeling that I can do the same thing. Knowing that someone has put their all into getting a degree, and preparing to have a career rather than just a job, makes want to do the same thing. Every aspect of college has always been something that I wanted to experience and walking a college stage has been and will be my dream until I accomplish what I set out to become. The feeling I get when I see my name on a certificate or award is exciting and I can only imagine what my feelings would be to have my name on a degree in the major of my choice (Criminal Justice). When I see college commercials I always picture myself in my dream career. When I watch TV show such as First 48, Locked Up, or even Cops, I always think about what my life is going to be like once i enter the field of Criminal Justice. I know that I cannot accomplish these dreams or goals until I get a college degree but I am determined to do it. I have a friend who recently graduated from a college in Texas and she has been such an inspiration. She is making tons of money and she loves what she does for a living. I want to be able to provide and give myself and future children the best life that I can. I do not want to struggle or live off welfare or have to depend on anything. or anybody. I know the only way my future will look a bright as my friends, is to go back to college and GRADUATE!
