College provides a bridge between childhood and adulthood. I won't only learn how to become an engineer, I will learn how to live independently. This is very important to me because I don’t want to live with my parents my whole life. I want to be a strong and independent man and college provides me with not only freedom, but with a high respect for responsibility.
Another reason that I’m pursuing higher education is to live a happy life. When I get a job, I don’t want to work to live, I want to live to work. This is very important to me because my job is the basis of my life. It will take up the majority of my day and I don’t want that time to be spent in sadness. I want to pursue this field of study because Mars is the next frontier for mankind. Aerospace Engineering can branch to astronautics and aeronautics.

I know I will have to move out of New England to pursue my dreams after college, although it will be hard to live thousands of miles from my direct family, I know that I will be making them
