Question

What influenced you to go to college and pursue your major?
I need help with ideas for this topic to write in an essay. Anything will be of help, I am having trouble trying to figure out what to write about.

Answer 1

So you need help with ideas right?

Answer 2

Are you writing about yourself, or someone else?

Answer 3

Yes and its about myself

Answer 4

What's your major?

Answer 5

You have to actually seriously think hard about what influenced you, because no one is YOU. No one lives your life, knows your family, or has done anything you've done. Your your own individual, YOU know what has influenced you.
So once you realize what actually has, then maybe someone can help further your point and maybe assist you in an essay or whatever would be needed.

Answer 6

I haven't really decided on a major %, but I would probably go with either pharmacy Tech or something to do with accounting & business.

Answer 7

Well my dad didn't finish high school and he never went to college, but he still has a well paying job. My mom has a college degree, but she wishes that she could've done more in college to further succeed in her major.

Answer 8

So if it wasn't really your parents, was it a specific event in your life or a specific goal that your aiming for that may have influenced you to go to college?

Answer 9

I want to be successful in life and i want to help my mom out by giving her a place, probably in a spare room in my future home. Because she has done so much for me and i want to repay her for everything she has done.

Answer 10

There you go! You just basically gave two things that influenced you to go to college.
Number one, was that you have a goal to be successful.
Number two, is you want to repay your mom because of everything she had done for you.
So for each of these two things, I'm going to give a few ideas.
For number one, which is your prominent and obvious goal; you could state in your essay how there are people who actually do not make it to college to pursue their majors or even pursue much of anything because of lives that they choose.
There are people out in this world that are lazy, that head down roads of drug use and pursue terrifying crimes that leave them either in the streets or in prison. There are people who do not have the discipline or the need to do anything worthwhile of that success that YOU want. People simply just want to waste their lives on foolish and folly-based things.
So the point of saying all this?
You are a person that does not want to do that. You don't want to waste your life. You want to have goals. You want something to live for. You want something to believe in.
All the above are pretty forward based reasons to be influence's for your pursuits.
Number two, is that you would like to do something for your mom because of everything she's done for you.
Okay, so talk about her! (I wouldn't know her, but YOU DO!)
Think of things about her. Think of her character, her personality, and who she is as a person. Think of some of the things she has done for you and state them. You obviously seem to love her, so express some of that love through these various forms I have suggested.
