Please provide a statement (250 words minimum) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.

Ok, the question sounds just so simple and boring. One thing that i cant stop thinking about is when it says "objectives you hope to achieve." It seems like there is a lil hidden message behind it. Reading it over like 100 times, i don't know if i am just trippin out.

I have thought of different ideas for the transferring part-

One topic i thought of writing about is... When i was in high school i was one of those students that always placed importance on social standing. I had a 2.9 gpa but still took challenging classes. When i joined community college that persona of mine vanished, and i just started being "me". I have a more ambitious drive right now. I had a 2.9 my first semester in college, but if everything goes as planned i will get a 3.5 gpa. Would that be a bad idea because of the fact that my current gpa in college is the same as in high school?

Second topic: I really want to leave california. To me everyone here just seems so stubborn and self-centered. I really just want to go to a college out of state so i can just have a different feeling of how it feels to be out of the fast-paced life in california. Is there a way i can elaborate on that?
