Why I Want To Go To Vanderbilt University.

            Looking towards the future on my quest for knowledge and higher learning I find myself willing and ready to make the transition into the next phase of my academic career. Having made it through the majority of my high school experience already I continue to be amazed at the metamorphosis my life has gone through in such a short time period. Coming into my freshman year with an uncertainty as to what I want out of life, I began my first semester with values focused on popularity instead of academics. Being part of the social crowd was something I had never experienced before and having so many friends made me feel better about myself. Unaware of the mistake I was making I continued over the next two years putting friends and sports before school work. Placing most of my time on my social life I was content with making average grades without ever really meeting my potential and achieving the marks that I was capable of. At the start of my junior year I was so engrossed with making other people happy I began to forget what makes me happy. For the first time in my life I had no clue who I was or what I was about. I had been so busy worrying about what other people think that I had lost touch with what was important to me and the ideals that I value. My dad once told me that all people have to do some soul searching at one point in their life and for the first time in mine I was ready to start looking. .
             As my sophomore year began to wind down I said goodbye to the place I called home for the previous fifteen years and started thinking for myself. All the friends and all the memories I had of growing up in Charlotte where hard to part with but looking back on it now I can easily say it was the best decision I have ever made. I left our grey stucco house that summer and found a new home in Chattanooga, Tennessee at a boarding school called Mccallie. Arriving at my newfound home I felt like a new man, free from the distractions of back home.
