Why did I choose Chemeketa?Other Colleges In Mind?

Before I graduated high school I began to ask myself where I was going continue my education. Out of all the schools in Oregon which one was the one that I would choose. My first pick was Portland State. I had already been there on a campus tour. It was big and that could either be its strength or its weakness. Then around graduation time something amazing came. The community  outreach coordinator at my high school asked me if I knew about the Chemeketa Scholars Program. That is how I found out about it. This was great, if you had a cumulative 3.5 GPA or higher you qualified to get 2 years free at Chemeketa. I Knew that I qualified and was excited. Chemeketa is close to home and I knew deep down that I was not ready to leave my family and go to Portland State. I would miss them a lot. Through the Scholars Program I got a chance to save a lot of money and still come home every night to eat dinner with my family. That’s not something most  students think about when choosing the right college or university for them. I’m glad I had the opportunity to come to Chemeketa Community College.
