Scholarship Essay Essay, Research Paper

There are three main categories of things that can be gained

in a life experience. We can gain maturity, gain in our personality, and

gain knowledge. According to our goals we pick which we want more

of. I want nothing of the first except to aid the third. The second will

happen as it must over time,and I can?t really guess what will be

gained or lost there.So what there is left to tell is of the knowledge I

want.

All knowledge I might want is subsidiary to the main piece of

knowledge I seek. I am after the meaning of life. All other concerns,

including happiness, are second in importance to this goal. I don?t

expect to know everything there is to know in just four years of

college.College is a step in my lifelong search for knowledge that

will hopefully bring me closer to my goal.

What I expect to accomplish in the next four years is

knowledge of technology. I?m looking to learn about computer

engineering. Technology is the world of today, an thats what interests

me. My uncle once said ? You don?t go to college to find a job, you

go to college to learn how to think?. College is an opportunity of a

lifetime and in reality, college is the only way to go.
