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…

Introduction Throughout the past four weeks we have been working on our own action research issue. I choose to research the factors behind why there are less female students taking higher level science courses during their junior and senior years of high school. Each week we added on new elements of action research starting with the questions, research purpose and literature reviews, to methodology, data analysis and communicating our findings. This course really opened my eyes to action…

in Marble Hill that stressed strong academics was scheduled to open this year on August 17, but will close permanently due to a financial shortfall from a decline in enrollment. The school on Whitley Road South was founded in 2003 and had added a high school in 2013-2014. It was serving around 70 students at the time of the closing. The school’s website noted at one point it served 130 students, coming from six different counties. In the August 1 letter to parents, Larry Ruff, chairman of the…

Pressuring a Master’s degree in Student Affairs and College Counseling from the University of Tennessee at Martin would allow me to work as a professional counselor within many roles in a university setting. In one of my past position as a financial Aid counselor, I enjoyed working with each student helping them with their financial planning for their 4 years of college, but the most important thing I enjoy was being able to encourage each student and having them know I was there if they had…

“To what extent do our schools serve the goals of a true education?” In order to accurately define an answer to that question, we must first identify what a true education is, as well as the goals of one. A true education is an education where students learn to think independently and to problem solve. The goals of a true education are to prepare students for real life. To rephrase the previously mentioned question: How far do our public schools go to prepare students for real life by being…

asks why I want to become a College Recruiter and I said that I want to help high school 's students stay on top of their work and know what they want out of this college experience because it can be a good experience or a bad experience. I also told her my personal experience in how it improved at Wayne State University and she asks can I go out with a Recruiter to tell the same story to high school students at Cass Tech High School on Thursday 11,…
