    Reflective Essay: What I Learned In Ms. Balderas Class

    In this fall semester of college what I’ve learned in Ms. Balderas class is knowing how to properly write a college written essay. I know after taking this course that I can somewhat write a well written essay that is college appropriate.

    College Conundrum Analysis

    In the prior reading, Tough explicates that the college conundrum is the increase in college dropouts in America, even when the value of a bachelor degree has skyrocketed, and graduate rates in other countries have dramatically expounded. Throughout the chapter, Tough sought to determine the causes for this complication. From his findings, he was able to uncover the notion of the achievement gap, and its effect on the output for graduates. For instance, he presents this concept in the words of Jeff Nelson, by which he writes, “The average incoming score of our students is hovering around a fourteen, or the tenth percentile …. what I do believe is that ninety percent of the population is reaching a better education than our students have received”…

    Personal Narrative: My Freshman Year

    For the past year, I could only provide an indefinite answer to a frequently asked question, How was your freshman year? In fact, those of us who experienced our freshman year could be addressed as “college veterans” will never initiate a conversation with regard to the past year. Perhaps they consider that the freshman year was not as consummate as they initially planned. I cannot judge my first year in college was successful or frustrating, but I feel I benefited from the meritorious experiences and practical knowledge gained from my college life. In my opinion, no matter what goals one wishes to achieve in college, whether its grade, love, health, or sense of accomplishment, one has to be prepared for both failures and…
