-
0:06 - 0:09DO-IT scholars discuss the
importance of college. -
0:09 - 0:10Is college important?
-
0:13 - 0:14It's up to you!
-
0:14 - 0:17But for me, it's very important!
-
0:22 - 0:23I think that college is important because
-
0:23 - 0:26it creates a pathway to
the rest of your life -
0:27 - 0:29and it really shapes your identity
as an adult. -
0:31 - 0:36College is a great place to discover your
passions and meet new and exciting people! -
0:41 - 0:45This video content was created
by DO-IT scholars, high-school -
0:45 - 0:49students from an innovative transition
to college program in Washington. -
0:50 - 0:52Scholars are students with disabilities.
-
0:52 - 0:55They learn about self-determination,
academic accommodations -
0:55 - 0:57and disability advocacy.

CSS, JavaScript. -
1:03 - 1:09Going to college is important because
we're always learning in life and college -
1:09 - 1:14is a way to help us do that, and that is
what shapes us in our later lives. -
1:15 - 1:19The great thing about college is
it can help you get a better paying job. -
1:20 - 1:22What I hope to get out of college
is a great financial future. -
1:24 - 1:29What I enjoyed most about college was
the chance to live on my own and become -
1:29 - 1:33more independent, explore life
and who I am -
1:33 - 1:35and make a life for myself,
with my friends. -
1:37 - 1:40DO-IT scholars stay in dorms
during summer study -
1:40 - 1:42at the University of Washington Campus.
-
1:42 - 1:46They meet mentors, faculty members
and business professionals. -
1:48 - 1:51I think college is important because it
allows you to get to know so many -
1:51 - 1:55different types of people and see
so many new perspectives on -
1:55 - 1:57every problem or every situation
that you might face -
1:58 - 2:01and I believe this is really important,
because it really allows you -
2:01 - 2:02to get to know other people.
-
2:03 - 2:06I think college is important because
it's a time to find yourself, -
2:06 - 2:11see what you're good at, what you like
and what you're successful at. -
2:13 - 2:18Going through college, I want to
understand my reason for being -
2:18 - 2:21and I want to understand why
I am the way I am. -
2:22 - 2:25Scholars participate in science labs
and academic workshops -
2:25 - 2:27and learn about technology.
-
2:28 - 2:34I think college is important because
you get a headstart in preparing for -
2:34 - 2:39getting a job some day and to pursue
your dreams and hopefully get paid. -
2:39 - 2:43I want to go into business,
and it would be really hard for me -
2:43 - 2:47to get a job in business
without getting a college degree. -
2:53 - 2:56Many of the DO-IT scholars use assisted
technology designed for -
2:56 - 2:57people with disabilities.
-
3:00 - 3:03Life has changed so much for the world in
general, but especially for -
3:03 - 3:05people with disabilities.
-
3:06 - 3:11The awesome thing is now that we can go
to college and we can be a part of -
3:11 - 3:13continuing to change the world.
-
3:13 - 3:18That's why college is so important. Not to
get a piece of paper or a degree, -
3:18 - 3:21but to make actual change
happen in the world. -
3:22 - 3:28I'm gonna go to college, I'm gonna get
my BFA, and guess what? -
3:28 - 3:30I'm gonna be a star!
-
3:38 - 3:41Thank you! Good girl!
