Loras College

It was just another regular day working at the Solon Feed Mill, until my friend Spencer texted me. He told me that our other friend, Matthew, had just quit his job at Nelson Electric and that they were looking for another person to work there. Spencer has been one of my best friends all throughout high school. He’s about 6’0, 190 lbs and built like a brick wall. He’s going to go play football at Loras College as a DE/LB. They were going to start a project at Kirkwood in the summer, called the Kirkwood Lighting Project and needed another unindentured worker. So he asked me if I wanted the job and that If I did, he’d let the owner know that I would be interested in doing it. I told him I’d take the day to think about it because I’ve never really…

However, Sandra has a bad luck to find her job to go into a workfare, and it’s not a job training anymore. She must work for her welfare check, and she thought it’s a miserable experience in her life that she must work as a street cleaner. She’s crying because they treat her so poorly. She must go to the street and sweep the street with brooms and shovels and garbage…

When people go to college they often have one major in mind. Many people also often have somewhat of an idea of what they want to do for a career.

The Day I Choose LCC Have you ever thought about what college you would attend and how successful you would be? Well I have, as child I would imagine what college I would attend and would I be able to succeed. I imagined how collage would be, would I attended a large university or a small local community college. Students may even worry about the ACT and SAT and how successful will they be when taking those two extremely important tests. Luckily, I choose a school that didn 't stress me out…

children to work hard, do well, and earn a college degree, then they will get a job. Many would argue that this philosophy helped the older generation be successful in their educational and post-educational careers, so it should not be changed; however, in the words of Ken Burns, “the problem is that the current system of education was designed…

Up program was introduced, I had a fair idea of what I was intending to study, but I remained unsure and had made no further necessary decisions about my post-secondary education. The reason I had not even thought about what university I wanted to go to or what career I wanted to pursue was due to a lack of resources and guidance. My parents, although always supportive of me, were limited as to what they could help me with when it came to making academic decisions beyond high school as they had…

Therefore, most secondary students are entering college without an understanding of how to meet demands of college writing beyond the prescribed “standard five-paragraph essay.” Susan Fanetti’s “Closing the Gap between High School Writing Instruction and College Writing Expectations” examines the discrepancy between American high schools and their…

Now, I can’t go a day without it. Being a college student, technology is the way we communicate with each other and it is hard to think how things can be done efficiently without the use of a computer or handheld device. I am constantly on my cell phone and I feel lost without it. This shows how dependent we are upon technology and the major role it plays in our lives. Not only do I depend on technology for school, my workday would be very difficult without it. Working in a fast paced…

that others have the upper hand they are discouraged because they no longer see the point in trying their best, something that was instilled in their minds growing up. Their efforts seem pointless, therefore they settle for instant monetary gratitude by dropping out of high school to work in a low wage job. Having to live paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet, and for years living with the worry of what could happen next is a good enough incentive to look for a way out. People who…
