Why Going to College is Important (It Reveals the Real You!)
College is More Than Just a Degree
It’s a Mirror
Most people think college is just about getting a diploma, landing a job, and making money. And sure, that’s part of it. But what most people don’t realize is that college reveals who you really are.
💡 College isn’t just about learning subjects, it’s about learning yourself.
It forces you into situations where you:
✅ Face challenges without a safety net.
✅ Figure out how YOU learn best (because no one teaches you that).
✅ Discover what truly excites you—and what drains you.
The real lesson of college isn’t found in textbooks—it’s found in “learning how to learn” and figuring out who you are, who you were, and who you want to become.
My Short Story:
How College Made Me Face Myself
When I first went to college, I thought it was all about getting good grades, following the system, and checking the boxes. But I quickly realized something: college doesn’t teach you HOW to learn—it just throws information at you and expects you to figure it out.
No one told me:
That my learning style was different from the person sitting next to me.
That my success depended on my ability to adapt, not memorize.
That the real challenge wasn’t the material—it was figuring out how to process and apply it.
For the first time, I had to train my own mind to learn in a way that worked for me. And once I figured that out, everything changed. Everything started to make sense, and everything started feeling like I was actually supposed to be here now.
That was another moment in my life that led me to founding Mogressive Coaching. Because I know that the traditional education system doesn’t teach you self-awareness. It doesn’t teach you how to discover your strengths, break past your limits, or truly understand yourself.
And if you don’t know how to learn in a way that fits you, how can you ever truly grow?
Why College Forces
You to Learn How to Learn
🔹 School gives everyone the same method—but everyone learns differently.
Some people learn visually.
Some need hands-on experience.
Some need repetition and discussion.
Check out my 1 Approach Method, where you learn from your starting line.
Yet, traditional education doesn’t teach you to figure out your learning style—it just expects you to “get it.” and I truly hated that! I’m different, a lot of us are.
🔹 In college, you either figure out how YOU learn, or you struggle.
No one is going to spoon-feed you answers.
You have to experiment, adapt, and build mental discipline.
This is how true self-awareness starts.
🔹 You learn how to navigate life, not just subjects.
Managing stress.
Handling deadlines.
Juggling responsibilities.
Finding ways to remain emotionally in control.
All of these skills translate directly to the real world.

Cool Quotes That Helped Me:
"College doesn’t teach you who you should be. It forces you to figure it out yourself." – Coach Mo
Welcome to Self-Awareness:
Who Are You?
If you’re in college—or even thinking about it—ask yourself:
✅ Who am I today?
✅ Who was I before this journey started?
✅ Who do I want to become?
College is one of the first major tests of self-awareness. It challenges you to:
Think differently.
Push yourself beyond your comfort zone.
Make choices that shape your future.
And for the first time, no one is making those choices for you.
