Also, colleges and universities tend to pay close attention to all the information written in books and do not allow their students to develop those skills that can help them succeed in the future. Graff’s point is that college and school should consider students attributes and talents and not only to see all students’ interests through “academic eyes” such as books and old history. In addition, expressing his appreciation for street smarts, Graff argues that “schools and colleges are missing an opportunity when they do not encourage students to take their nonacademic interests as objects…

    Since a young age, practicing and exercising the Spanish language was imperative as a way to communicate with my parents and most of my family. Although constantly present and exposed to the English language, it has always been a concept that is difficult for them to grasp. Thus, I saw this as a major language barrier that prohibited me to easily communicate with nearby and extensive family.

By the end of eighth grade and part of high school, I thought I had overcome the biggest language barrier.…
