1 Why did I choose to attend college? (为什么我要上大学呢？I have asked myself many times during the past three and a half months.（在过去的三个半月里我已经问自己很多次了）Did I come because of because of my parents’ influence or because of the goal lf my own?（我上大学是不是受我父亲的影响还是我自己的目标呢？）After thinking about these questions many times, I have reached the conclusion that it is something that I truly want to do. （经过反复仔细思考这些问题后，我得出结论我相信上大学是我真正想做的）
2 Originally my parents did influence my opinions about education in general.（本来我的父亲影响着我的教育思想）From the beginning of my schooling, my parents seemed to assume that I would attend college, and by the time I reached senior high school, I had become used to that idea as well.（从开始上学起，我父亲就给我定下了上大学的目标，当我读高中时，我已经有了很好的理想）
3 When I entered senior high school, I attended the college preparatory program there, looking ahead four year to college.（当我进入高中，我参加了大学预备课程，关注未来四年的大学）Then gradually I became truly in many of the subjects .（然后渐渐地我成了真正的许多课题）And I felt that I wanted to continue to study those areas .（我认识到我要继续在这些领域学习）As my senior high school drew to a close, I began to realize why I had this hope.

4 Finally, I began to recognize in my life a strong desire to obtain knowledge.（最后，我开始认识到自己强烈的学习知识的欲望）I knew that I would not be to simply end my educational career with senior high school and enter the working world.（我知道，我不会简单地结束我的高中学习，进入社会参加工作。） I truly felt a need to continue learning in order to get a better understanding of the word around me. （我真正感觉到我需要继续学习才能更好的认识这个世界）My final decision to attend college seemed a natural one ,and my choice of engineering as a field of study came easily as well.（我最终决定要去读大学似乎已经很正常了，我选择了学习工程领域，这相对容易）
