Dual enrollment

“School can bind as effectively as it can liberate; it can enforce conformity and limit life chances as well as foster individual talent” (Colombo, 107). I attended DuBois Area High School, which is a public high school in a middle class town. There was about 1200 students in my school so I knew a lot of people but I would see new faces almost every day. I believe there are good things and bad things about public high schools because they have good and bad programs, they push you to go to…

costs of college exist, but will not play as big as a role. Primarily reducing unnecessary programs and recreation spendings will weaken the problem. Likewise, universities and colleges could reduce staff whom are inefficient. Finally, promoting dual enrollment programs to students while in high school will lower the time spent in college and money paid for these particular classes. Many institutions have attempted to do these tasks, according to the article, “College Costs too Much. We Can…

One day in my junior year of high school, I was struggling to write an essay for my online dual enrollment history class. Sitting on my bed while looking at my vanity mirror, I was talking myself into not giving up. Literally, I was verbally saying “Mishaela, keep it together. You can finish this paragraph.” Slowly, however, my mind began to wander…

The problem for foreign language education in the United States is there is an unanswered need for comprehensive bilingual studies focused on practical conversation. The United States has been regarded as a dominant power in the global economy. However, the Chinese economy is predicted to overcome the U.S. economy in size after 2030, and Latin America and South Asia are growing as well (Council of Foreign Relations). In addition, while there are 527 million English speakers worldwide; there are…

grade sometimes I didn’t take responsibility for it, I blamed the teacher’s teaching method. Anyways, I still assumed this was fine and I was still going to be rich when I got older. Reality hit when I started my 11th grade year. In both of my dual enrollment classes, not giving effort was not cutting it anymore. Although, that truly didn’t sink in and marinate until the 2nd quarter. Before all my outlines in Writing 101 were very basic, my outlines didn’t have enough information so when I…

I am 18 years old and I grew up in Jamaica. I am the youngest child for my dad and the eldest for my mom. That may just be a simple irrelevant detail for most people but for me that’s been my identity for 18 years now. I have two smaller brothers and one sister that I used to look after in Jamaica and they mean the world to me. While watching them grow, and taking care of them while my mom tend to house chores and with school and everything else it seems as if life was just passing me by. I was…

During this week forty six years ago in 1968, my grandfather was in the same position I am currently in today. He was in his beginning weeks of college at Illinois State University. Everything was new to him; new people, a new school, and a new place where he would live for the next four years. He lived in a dormitory, however the building he was originally supposed to stay in was under construction when it came to the start of the school year. He was temporarily put in a double room that housed…

All of them, being college/dual enrollment level, came with lots of homework required to comprehend the confusing material. Finding the time for this mass amount of homework was difficult. Because of all this work, I was overwhelmed with stress and exhaustion. The only thing keeping me…

received a letter of acceptance. I was ecstatic, to say the least. With my acceptance into the 2016 fall semester, I have plans to earn a Bachelor’s degree in physics. I have a large amount of college credits already, thanks to my high school’s dual enrollment program, which will hopefully allow me to begin classes toward my major much more quickly. I have a strong belief that college will push me into whatever field is truly right for me. Whatever this field is, I hope to be able to do…

Through the civilization transition in the 1980s, women started getting absorbed into the workforce and started taking responsibility in family providence. This step in modernization led to dual-income families. Income generation process was now shared between a man and a…
