Top ten reasons I want to go to Stanford University:

10. Stanford University is in California! Wonderful weather plus cute guys, how can I go wrong?

9. It is good to set what I want in life while I can still make choices.

8. Stanford is well respected and one of the top schools in the United States.

7. Many famous people graduated from Stanford University.

6. The campus is beautiful.

5. I will be able to live in a new state and grow my options there, in California.

4. I want a hall named after me.

3. I will study whatever I want, maybe even medicine. (Not if my dad has anything to say about it)

2. I would be surrounded by intelligent people who would encourage me to study.

1. It is in California!

These are only the reasons that benefit me so I can have fun while I am in college. I know that two of my reasons are because it is in California and there are many other colleges in California. I want to go to Stanford because it is good to set your goals high and work diligently toward reaching them. It might be good to have a back-up plan incase I don't get in but I don't want to second guess myself and say just incase I don't. My nana gave me a book called "The Secret" it is about being positive and believing in things. If you think positive then your thoughts will become reality. I like to think of myself going to Stanford University because I have high expectations of myself and it is the right school for me.
