When I think of the American Dream I think about using education as a means to rise above what you came from. It doesn’t necessarily mean being filthy rich or famous but living comfortably and being able to enjoy certain luxuries and indulgences (i.e. travelling, going out to eat, taking vacations, having your own car, owning a home, etc.) without worrying about how you are going to pay the bills next month. In terms of education the American Dream still exists. Many people are still going to…

without proper permission. Years ago, out of school suspension was considered a positive form of punishment; however, it is now an alarmingly high increasing factor that must be dealt with. This form of practice is often taken too lightly, given to students without proper investigation. A great example of this is of a student named Demi Grant, from Hartsville High School, received five days suspension for digitally favoring a tweet. The school’s reason for suspending her was due to cyber…

"If it means that teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require school uniforms"(Woolley). Former President Ronald Reagan said this in 1996 during his presidency. The issue of schools across The United States of America having mandated school uniforms has been on the rise, but the controversy over whether or not uniforms actually accomplish anything is far from over. School uniforms first originated in Baltimore, Maryland at…

goes out in the morning and come back at late night. My father is a carpenter who provides most of the family expenditures. Same as other parents, my parents always advise me to work hard in school so that someday I can find a white collar job with high salary. Despite it 's for my own goods, I know I 'm not the type of person who can endure the mental exhaustion of being trapped in a small, stuffy cubicle to deal with boring paperwork. I 'm the person who wants to live with music and…

life defining experiences. A student’s involvement in sports is one of these moments mentioned earlier. Sports can contribute so much more than just physical activity. They allow students to become involved, and can benefit a person’s experience in high school. A person’s involvement in sports during school would be an overall benefit to their lives by improving themselves not only physically, but mentally and socially as well. When a person thinks about sports, the first thing that comes to…

Preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school all systems made up by our society with the sole purpose of educating our youth. In our society education is very important it 's very valuable and it can shape how we approach our lives in this so called “real world”. The elementary school I attended was named Crestview Elementary it was closed down about four years ago and turned into an adult school. When I was enrolled there it was a ten minute walk from my home, just…

environment. Students that go to college sometimes end up being underemployed or unemployed if they can not find a job in their degree. If they can not find a job in their degree of work then they are stuck with a huge debt to pay. Students in Tamaqua Area High School have an opportunity in 10th grade to go to a Vocational Technical school called Vo-tech. Vo-tech offers classes for students like nursing, carpentry, mechanics, cosmetology, and many more. When you graduate Vo-tech, you graduate…

in factories, as night porters, as maintenance workers and anything else they could find in order to survive. As we grew up, college was always the next step after high school; it was engraved in our minds. I thought for sure after high school I would go directly to college but things didn’t turn out that way. In my senior year at high school, I started to slack off and hang out with the wrong crowd; which in turn caused me to fall behind on my classes and not graduate on time. After not being…

Before I was introduced to counseling I was pretty naive about what really goes down behind the doors-in a psychologist 's office. I presumed many false beliefs; I would lay down on a flat couch, in a dark room while the professional sat across from me in a really expensive chair. I would be told to close my eyes and tell them about myself and my childhood. I would become secretly embarrassed at that point, because it all would be irrelevant to the central problem. I believed there was nothing a…

necessarily think about all of the debt they’ll be in because of student loans. Most good paying jobs require some sort of college degree, but what if somebody can’t afford college tuition? College classes can be very expensive and daunting, causing high school graduates to doublethink about whether or not they want to pursue a career in college. “Free college” seems to be the answer; but where will the funding for free college come from? Will more people be willing to attend college if it is…
