I have many reasons for going to college. The main reason I guess would have to be so I can get a degree, graduate a one day hopefully get a decent job. There are also a few reasons why I chose this specific college. One reason I chose this college is because it is a Christian college. I wanted to start off for one or two years of college in a Christian atmosphere so I decided to go with the testimony that Temple has had over the years. I also received the Dr. Lee Robertson scholarship and that gave me even more of a reason to come. I know a pretty good amount of people that go to school here ...

Next something happens to the runner that makes him unable to run, perhaps old age but I think death because of the following lines: Will flock to gaze the strength less dead"(line26) I also think there were key statements throughout to somewhat changed my thought pattern.
