A Worn Path Research Paper

Great Essays
Honestly, I am an undergrad student at MCPHS-Boston, and to tell you the truth, unless you are naturally intelligent, and/or willing to make big sacrifices and go through hard struggles, this college is not for you. I am not telling you this because I am not a hard working, unmotivated, or lazy student, who is angry at the school for receiving bad grades. It is more because I have experienced this school and have found out many things that would have made me not come here in the first place had I known before. The main thing that comes to mind here is that this school is ALL ABOUT YOUR MONEY. Which is why they have such a high acceptance rate. You can spend the same amount of money at any other school, for the same degree, and the quality of …show more content…
Since the acceptance rate is so large, the halls, public areas, and classrooms get very crowded. You WILL NOT experience the same type of FACULTY TO STUDENT RATIO as you would with OTHER SMALL schools. The school gives you designated tour times. These times are WHEN MOST STUDENTS ARE IN CLASS, so you assume that there are not that many students, this is most prevalent when trying to get assistance for your classes. If you plan on being tutored, you should sign up for one before the semester starts. Once the semester begins, there will already be a long list, and you will have to wait for a long time (sometimes till mid semester) until they get back to you. I have personally experienced this. This means two things, the school allows to many students into the school, and cannot accommodate everyone who needs help, and that this school is about QUANTITY NOT QUALITY. Your education, your future, is put into their hands when you decide to come here. Again if you are the type of person who likes to read, like to teach THEMSELVES material, such as chemistry and biology, then this school is for you. But if you feel that you are going to need assistance for anything, then CONSIDER ANOTHER

    At last, the time has come for the start of what parents have talked about since birth and what teenagers wished would come faster, graduation. However, it’s not just graduating high school it’s a stepping stone towards a life-long career. In addition, the first decision high-school graduates must make is whether or not to go to college. Nevertheless, the cost of attendance, course of study, and location are all important factors in choosing between Northeast Lakeview college and the University of Texas San Antonio. Over time college has gradually became more expensive; paying back student loans can be a burden on students and take them years to pay back the financial aid that was acquired.…

    The school that I have decided to try to do service learning at is Westside Elementary in Springville, Utah. Westside is a coed public school in the Nebo School district. I grew up in this area and attended this school growing up and I felt it was a great school to attend. The Nebo School District's mission statement is "we engage, empower, and collaborate to ensure student success". The school received a 5 out of 10 rating and the neighborhood is quite large, but for the most part is quiet and has a low crime rate.…

    Actually, I am still in the most challenging academic course I have taken to date, AP United States History (APUSH). APUSH has been difficult for me due to the fact that I had very little knowledge of US history preceding my enrollment in the class. Furthermore, prior to this class I had never really had to study extensively to maintain high marks. APUSH has been different. Having little knowledge of this material, I have had to spend much more time studying.…

    The top three colleges I chose are Hinds Community College, Mississippi State University, and Alcorn State University . Hinds is my first choice because I visited Hinds’ Nursing Allied Health Center on one of my various CDC field trips and I was amazed. I was shown how to be prepared for CPR, how to read the blood pressure machine, and just learn about all the programs they have to offer. I actually did plenty of .research on nursing and I think Hinds is just the place for me .…

    My American Dream “So we beat on boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past” (Fitzgerald 180). This quote means that the past cannot be relived so having to move on and not dwell on the past is a necessity. Fitzgerald uses this quote to explain what is happening after Gatsby’s death. Gatsby’s American Dream is much unlike mine. He dreamed of having Daisy as his girl and to be able to show her off and be proud of her; everything he did was to either impress Daisy or simply to get her to notice him.…

    I think that smaller colleges are better because there are less people and they could have your profession that you want to do in colleges and the professor might be able to help you if you need it.. It is better for me because there are less students and i could get a lot of help if i need it and I don’t like being around large groups of people and people would talk out as much in larger colleges and smaller ones there is much less noise. The smaller colleges are more for me because I don’t do good around large crowds of people and I do better when there is a lot less people and if the professor help me with some stuff that I am not understanding if I don’t get it and the professor would know me because there is not a large amount of people.…

    To whom this may concern, I am interested in being an occupational therapist. Growing up, I have always known that I wanted to go into the medical field. At first, being a surgeon sounded great, but then I realized that seeing blood does not do me well. After that, I thought that it would be better to looking into being a medical examiner. That also does not appeal to me very much because after awhile, the thought of being around dead bodies gave me the creeps.…
