the high school I attended. This high school’s population consists of over 3,000 students. Majority are low-income and even a small portion is considered homeless. Over half of the students identify as Hispanic and about a quarter identify as African American. As a school social worker, Monica works in the Special Education department where she tends to the emotional, social, and academic needs of individual students. She aids in their “Individualized Educational Plan (IEP)” which involves goal…
there are many things that you might need to consider. For instance, their financial situation, what they want out of college, and lots more. One of the biggest problems is how much it costs.

MTV created a television episode, following three students in their first semester of college. I can relate slightly to all three students, but related to Jolisa more than the others in the episode. Jolisa was moving out of her state to go to college and struggled finding money to support herself. She also had relationship problems with her boyfriend.
