In other cases, they may be immigrants without parents who entered the United States illegally and have attained school-age. However, the undocumented students face several challenges due to financial, social and structural barriers in their pursuit of higher education (Kobach 478). In as much as there are huge barriers to…

In the 21st Century, we are faced with a rapidly increasing number of social issues that lead to more unresolved social problems. Many of these issues have a domino effect that cause problems for the individual, their friends and family members, their employers, the community, and the economy. While working in the healthcare field for 15 years, volunteering in my community, and being a youth leader in my church, I have witnessed undiagnosed Mental Disorders disrupt society in different ways.…

Eager high school student ready to go out into the world and be on her own. On August 13th 2016 I moved into Moore-Strong residence hall. I am a first year college student and was so hyped up about the “college life”. Before I came to The University of North Carolina Greensboro I was an excited high school senior ready to graduate and leave from home. I 've come to realize shortly after that college is not what I expected. It let me down on the inside and I was a little disappointed. I feel that…

Loyola University Personal Statement - Social work inhabits the rare sphere in which social science, occasionally given the misnomer of pseudo-science, functions in accord with theories of hard science.

It would be especially advantageous to minority groups and would appeal to a large spectrum of citizens. Current financial aid offered by the government is quickly dwindling due to budget cuts, providing relief to those who don’t really need it, and skimping on the…

Looking back into my past has made me think about the exciting and difficult moments I had in my life with my family. There was not one dull moment even though life was rough growing up. Growing up financially was inconvenient, even though my mother did not have to deal with racial problems at work similar to the racial segregation the immigrants dealt with in the readings we were assigned in class.

Not having exposure to the FAFSA, CSS Profile, and financial aid packages ultimately illuminated my low-income status because instead of feeling capable of attending college despite being low-income, the lack of information made college daunting. During the college application process…

With all the attention that accompanied the new health care law, largely overlooked were the education provisions within it. Officially known as the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, this new student lending law signed by President Obama on March 30, 2010 will result in significant changes for the vast majority of college students, who pay for their courses through government-backed loans and grants. While politicians quibble over the long-term consequences of the…

In the back of the school there are pathways that connect from the school’s back parking lots into what looks like a fairly nice subdivision. There is a lot more trash strewn about in the back of the school and there are a few kids walking from the parking lot down the path to the subdivision. The school has several fields located through out the back of the school. One field is large and has soccer goals at either end of the field, and the other field has two football goals at each end,…
