I request approval to be dropped from CHASS Connect due to the fact that the learning community courses overlap with the classes I intend to register for next quarter. I have yet to register for next quarter’s classes because I have financial aid holds that I have been unable to pay. I specifically chose next quarter’s courses in order to allow time to work and pay off my school expenses, since my parents are not contributing at all to pay for college. Ultimately, my financial problems are the main reason why I feel I can no longer continue in CHASS Connect. In addition to the time restraint a learning community poses on my schedule, I cannot afford the textbooks I am required to have. As a working student back in high school, I learned how

    Reflection In Early Class

    This semester, I enrolled in Early Childhood Education 350 (ECE) at Consumes River College, which transfers over to Sacramento State as Child Development 35F. ECE 350 is a course that incorporates lecture and fielded experience at a school site. I was a student volunteer at John Reith Elementary school for an AM and PM kindergarten class. Ms. Moua is the morning instructor, and this is her first year at John Reith and Ms. Din is the afternoon instructor and is a veteran at John Reith. John Reith is a titled one school, meaning the majority of the students receive free or reduced lunch. The school is gated and the only way to enter is through the office, which protects the staff and students from any intruders.…

    Improving Graduation Rates By Alina Tugend: Article Analysis

    In the article, “Revamping Community Colleges to Improve Graduation Rates,” Alina Tugend writes about the college student dropout rate and the effects getting in the way of a rising number of graduates. Tugend is correct in saying that community colleges should restore their system to improve graduation numbers. Some community colleges are already improving their system by lowering cost of attendance, requiring less remedial classes, and offering more personal advice to students. Some community colleges are beginning to lower their cost of attendance to improve the number of college graduates. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, “With the average annual tuition of $3,430, community colleges are about one-third the cost of in-state tuition at a public four-year university” (Tugend).…

    Preferred Action For Childhood Arrivals (DACA)

    As a first generation undocumented college student there is great privilege and pride in attending the University of California, Santa Barbara. However with that there is also many obstacles and struggles that I have faced in order to survive and thrive in this institution, one of them is my need for financial aid. Coming from a low-income, single mother household I do not rely on my mother for financial support because I already know she struggles to feed my siblings and pay their bills.

Due to the fact that I am constantly sending my mother and household money in order to contribute to their survival, I have been working two part-time jobs while still being a full-time student in order to make my needs to be met as well.…

    Short Term 12 Reflection

    Short Term 12 was a very interesting movie. It had hints of being realistic, but with aspects where you knew it was a movie. It’s about a group of workers who work in a foster care residential facility setting.

    Personal Narrative: Growing Up In A Working Class Home

    Growing up in a working class home, I quickly gained the skills of an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and civics leader. I can still recall the smell of the flowering fruit trees of the summer months in sunny South Florid and how every year I would gather the abundance of extra fruit in our backyard and distribute them to our extended family, friends, and neighbors. In our modest home, nothing was ever thrown away, and items would be recycled many times. At the age of nine I was serving hot coffee and small pastries at the walk-up window of the small Cuban café my parents owned. As the United States prepared to celebrate its bicentennial, in the afternoons with a small booklet in hand, I drilled my mother test questions to prepare her for the…

    Argumentative Essay: Should Community College Be Free?

    Ever since I started elementary school I was told that the main goal in life was to go to college, get a good job and live a good life. That's easier said than done in most cases.

This has become a huge problem for students for decades and has steadily been improving throughout the years or so I’ve been told.…

However, after completing my studies at community college, it was necessary that I attend a four-year institution to complete my degree. In contrast, the expense of attending community college was a sizable difference to attending a four-year institution.…
