College is a big word in my family. I will be one of the fist ones to go to college in my family. My family reinforces my dream to go to college even though no one has gone before.My friends also have a great impact on my college future. All the time at lunch we talk about what were are looking forward to and how excited we are to go. I have a dream of being a special needs teacher. If i did not go to a great high school like Stevenson I do not think that i will be thinking about college. In Stevenson all of your high school career is getting you ready for college. I think if i went to a different school maybe in the city college would not even of come to my mind because of the money. But with using my resources and asking questions, anyone with a dream to go to college will can achieve that dream. My Freshmen year at Stevenson was very hard on me. I knew that I had a learning problem and freshmen year was very difficult on me. I got tested with a learning disability and for the rest of my high school education I was in the classes that what would be fitted for me. College is a very scary thing, but I think I am ready to make my dream a realtiy
