Mike Magnuson

Prewriting

1.) Thinking about your own experience, was there a moment when you knew that you were going to college, when you knew that college was the right thing for you? Or, was going to college always expected of you? Or, was going to college something that slowly seeped into your consciousness over time, without really any fanfare?

2.) Do any of the other "reasons to go to college" from Magnuson's story apply to you? For example, are you going to college to prove something to yourself or to someone else? Or are you going to college to learn how to behave? Or are you going to college simply for the sake of learning?
