    Students attending college are now exposed to the real world of being responsible for their attendance in classes. College life is more diverse than high school, because students now have the ability to make their own life choices and College students have more freedom than high school students do. Being able to take the classes they want, need, and also paying for their own courses. College students have to be committed to do well in their classes, but also have their own decision making if they want to be present to class or not. Now that students know they have all the freedom they want, some students think they don’t necessarily have to show up to class since they are paying for it.…

    My observation took place at Gateway Community College Central City Campus as a part of my job as a student services specialist at the front desk counter. I was observing students between 9 A.M. and 12P.M. on a Monday morning, September 12, 2016. I was able to observe about 15 current and prospective students. The college is located in Central City area neighborhood on Buckeye and 12 street, and most of the students at this campus are considered to be “at-risk” students. The student population of Gateway is very diverse, but they have a lot of similarities as well.…

    It’s hard to believe that once upon time, Americans did not have the dreadful worries of finding a way to prepare for the financial necessities for college. Now, college is becoming more of a dream rather than a reality as high tuition rates becomes the number one reason why Americans are not advancing themselves into higher education. In some cases, there are college students who receive full-ride scholarships to the college they desire; however, the majority of those who do go to college do not obtain the same luck. Those students who do continue their education and go off to college find themselves short of financial aid, out-of-pocket cash, and even scholarships. This causes students to resort to taking out a student loan.…

    I cannot refute the statement that college honors programs attract privileged and entitled students, for they do. However, those who criticize honors programs for attracting privileged students are missing the other, very important half of the equation– the disadvantaged, yet hardworking and opportunity-seeking students. The truth is, students who are attracted by college honors programs are filled with desire for knowledge and opportunities in self-improvement. They revel in challenges and continuously seek to expand their limits. Students who apply for honors programs do so with the expectation that they will meet other students who may have completely different backgrounds and experiences, but in the end will share the same passion for learning…

    When we are young and commit mistakes, it is easy to blame on parents, teachers, or siblings in order to mentally make ourselves feel better about our own fault. In college, I will not be able to blame anybody for missing registration to classes, or missing an important deadline. Taking full responsibility for my actions will give me a hard time in my college career, since I have never been completely by myself. However, without a doubt, acting responsibly is the quality that gives meaning to our lives and allows us to develop personality, establish profound relationships, and get an advantage in the labor market. Additionally, the only way to overcome the fear of taking responsibility of myself is to start realizing that things will change…

    Understanding that the way students learned in high school will not cut it in college because there is a higher expectation. The advice I would give to a prospective student starting in college is the information given to us in the beginning of chapter zero (0). First, determine which study methods works best for the individual (verbal, visual, auditory, and/or action).

    The importance of learning is different from person to person. Society today has put a large emphasis on just going to school even if you don’t know what your major is.

These forces project a sense that the student should go even if the student is unsure of their intensions.…

    Culture of Respect strengthen schools by providing a framework to assess and improve efforts to eliminate sexual violence from their campuses. They provide tools for all constituents at colleges and universities as they answer the call to ensure students safety to continue their higher education.

As students of The Honors College, we are given many responsibilities and duties. We are required to have rigorous and challenging curriculums along with becoming leaders within the communities we are part of and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by all of it and find it extremely difficult to keep up.

    I think that as Honors College students that are so focused on what career paths we want to follow, and maintaining a 3.5 GPA, we forget that there are other young adults our age that didn’t choose the same path. Let me explain. We live in a world where the societal norm is to graduate high school, and then go to college. However, new reports are finding something rather interesting. The Atlantic posted an article that states that graduation rates for 2014 were strong across the nation (Wong).…

    Some seniors in high school still do not know what they want to be in the future and some others are just careless when it comes to the future, even if they are going to graduate in a couple of days. Some of the high school graduates who are planning on going to the college are just going to figure out themselves. Why go to college if you are just figuring yourselves out? Why not just take a year off for that? The graduated high school students should not be forced to attend college because some students present financial problems, lack of motivation, and lack of interest.…
