Because Education is the Key to Success*


Ever since I started high school, I have been asked repeatedly about my plans for college. It's a good conversation started for people who have no idea how to talk to teenagers. It is often a very awkward conversation because I honestly am not sure what I'm going to study (although English and Photojournalism sound promising). But I'm fairly sure as to where I WANT to go to college. The University of Arizona, located in Tucson, has been familiar to me since I was little. My mother grew up about 3 blocks from the campus and graduated from there, where she got her degree in Radio and Television. I even have a cousin who is the professor of Art History there. I've been visting the campus for years, and the area around it. I've always liked it there, even though it's over 100 degrees for about 5 months a year. Also, my grandparents will be too old to drive by that point and I'd like to be there to make sure they'll be ok. So hopefully, in the first semester of my 12th grade year, when I apply to U of A (and a number of other colleges, just to be safe) they will see me and think "hell, why not? Welcome Stephanie Brown" =)
