When I go off to college I will be the first to go off to college out of all my siblings because, they did not go. My parents are deceased so it is hard for me to apply for colleges and then not know how I will be able to afford to go. I really want to attend college I try so hard and I would really love the experience.

I'm the first person in my family to go to a university and the only member to want to get a doctorate. I want to get a Doctorate in psychology and minor in social work so I can provide counseling to kids in the system.
