Student
Working for a better life.
Over seventeen million students are attending college here in America. Out of that, twelve million or so graduate with at least a Associates degree. These varry from Math, to English, to Science, and everything in between. These students carry the future of our country on their shoulders. I attend Sierra College, hoping to get a AA degree in math, and move on to a university to become a teacher. I grew up all over northern California, moving many, many times. This is why it is so important for me to go to college. So I can afford to stay in one place.

I live at home with my parents at the moment, and all my school money goes to them, so they can pay rent and bills and food. That makes it so that I can focus on school work alone. I'm hoping to make between 30,000 to 40,000 a year as a elementary or high school teacher, as well as make some money on the side working on computers.
