MY OPINION:

Motivation to apply to UH

The reason i'm motivated to apply to this college is because there is the course I want to do " Aerospace engineering, and I don't have to travel to another state, or leave my home to apply for colleges that have this course, also because there are a lot of cultures there and I won't feel uncomfortable, I know few people from there that speak Portuguese they're from my church.
