Importance can be described as a trait of many parts of one's life. Tagging it to an event is easy, but explaining why is a different story. My being born was important. "Why?" I don't know. My graduating high school was important. "Why?" A couple of reasons.
My coming to AUM is important. "Why?"
Well, I'll tell ya Chip.
I have come to AUM first and foremost to get an education. Duh, right? It's so cliched that it's a cliche to say it's cliched, but I mean it. I may want to flew through college, but I really want to learn. If knowledge is power, and power is knowledge, then why do so many nimrods graduate from colleges? I don't want to be a simple-minded waste-of-skin. The obvious is for an education.
Why AUM, as apposed to ANYwhere else?
It wasn't always AUM. I used to really long for Sanford University in Birmingham. It was the most prestine college in Alabama. Its campus stood on a pedestal above all else, and the education was supposed to be outstanding. Its tuition also lies in the range of about $40,000 a year, and they wouldn't grant me a scholarship, so I got over it. I began looking for smaller schools, maybe Auburn or Alabama, but my guidance counselor ranked. She couldn't put together an interesting speech, much less coordinate the entire senior classes college applications. She said that she would send stuff in, but to no avail. I just settled for AUM, because they let me get a scholarship after the deadline. I figured that I was placed in the boat.
It isn't that bad though. I like AUM, and the student/teacher population. It is still "Hometown-ish." Everyone here grew up around here, so its nice to have a certain sense of similarity to everyone I don't know. My brother also lives about 6 miles away, off of Ann St, and he is letting me live with him. It was probably in the cards to let me live here.
