I think where they live, who they live with, and how they live is also impacting a student’s ability to succeed. If a…

I was sad when I graduated from high school because I lost my direction and aim in life. I was saying myself to myself, “just graduate from high school and everything will be ok”. After I graduated, I did not know what to do or where to go and that was because the last year in high school, I applied to the wrong…

Getting a college degree is very questionable today, however I believe everyone should get a college degree if there is ever a chance, because of the financial benefits after graduation, and the variety of skills learned. There are for sure many positives to attending college, as well as many negatives. Throughout college there are a variety of different skills and experiences to gain, which would never be discovered without going to college. Many people believe that college is not worthwhile…
