Life Choices/Life Chances

When it came to selecting a college, I was faced with choices based upon the chances that were presented. Born into a middle class familly I was given all chances and practically expected to go to college, there wasnt much of a choice. My parents attended and obtained degrees and it was expected that since I was given the opportunity, I would take the chance and also persue a college career. We had the income and a highschool education granted the pre-requesits to college life. I personaly went into this decision with the ability to make my own choices on which college I would attend. Although....I was dragged to Siena by my mother, I was not a fan of the fact it was a christian school since I hold my own views on religion (wont say anything to offend anyone, but I dont believe in pressing a religion onto someone and I thought christian schools were all that way). The science program was good though, the staff friendly and the community small and comforting. These were things I thought were important and influanced my choice to go to Siena vs. some of the other schools I was looking at. I would obtain the well rounded education I wanted as well as take advantge of the chances that I was born into.
