I believe that the daytime curfew and the nighttime curfew laws in our city of Los Angeles are not well enforced. It appears to me that both of these variations of local laws are not as effective as they were intended to be. It is possible that some reasons that they are ineffective are in part because of not enough law enforcement in the area, and also the inconsistency of the law statewide. The curfew law is not a state-wide law, thus, I believe that this makes the enforcement of these two…

Throughout my time in high school and seeing all of the graduation requirements that come and go not once has community service come up. I personally think it is a great idea. Helps us high school students give back to the community. How many people come to sporting events, support clubs, and donate their time and resources to the high school out of the kindness of their hearts? A lot, especially in a small community like ours. The other thing is I think that the term community service is always…

Expectations of High School Junior high is two years where it is comparable to the most awkward years. That is why most people can not wait until high school. I would say most people compare and contrast high school with their high expectations. Tv shows and movies and parents persuaded many upper elementary and junior high students including myself of what to expect out of high school. Tv shows and movies gave me high expectations of high school since they all showed the students not…

College is not Unattainable Over the past decades, attending college has been stressed to all high school students. Many students are lucky to survive the struggling years of high school let alone make it to college. The students that are prosperous in attending college usually drop out or get pulled into the partying craze. Specialty businesses look for college educated people to hire that have a degree that meets requirements the business searches for. All high school graduates should attend…

Is college really worth the debt, the hard work and the headaches you’ll receive? With jobs getting harder to get into and standards being raised, attending college can be a big advantage when applying for a job or starting a business. With all studies and statistics taken, it can be proven that college can be a big step in someone’s life. Numbers and percentages can speak for themselves there is a great difference between those who have attended college and those who haven’t. Workers with…

my strict boarding school of Saint James, and I was ready to There was no longer the supervision of my parents or teachers to hold me back, and there were no limits on what I was allowed to do. I had a clear path to success, in which I would go to college, get a job in a field I loved, find a wife, and live happily ever after. There was nothing I couldn’t do. When my condition kicked in, however, I was unable to achieve those goals. Instead I was an either a patient…

first-generation students keeps increasing as the years pass by. In 2012, about 32% of undergraduate students were first-generation. There has been a small increase from 10 years ago (1992), where about 27% of undergraduate students were first-generation college students (Horn & Nunez). These statistics are small compared to the traditional students, which are students who are not the first-generation to attend a post-secondary school. One main factor that there is a small percentage of FGCS is…

on average, about 78 years to live, we still spend the first five years at home as babies, the next thirteen in required schooling, and are then expected to continue with at least two-to-four years of college, which is followed by years of graduate school. A gap year between high school and college has proven to be extremely beneficial to the students that have taken this opportunity and should be completed by more students. By taking a gap year, students are allowed to travel and reach a…

Mr. Hartman also says, "more residential colleges will offer students the option of taking courses on campus two days a week and picking up the rest of their coursework online, so they can hold jobs while keeping up with their studies, and without completely forgoing time in the traditional college setting" (Young). The online classes have been set on the same curriculum as a traditional class is, such as due dates for…

toll on our lives. Contrary to this idealism, 37 years later, David Leonhardt wrote an article, “The College Dropout Boom,” which stresses the fact that lower-income students are discouraged about higher education. The author does well with his use of pathos as well as the structuring of the piece, keeping the attention of the reader to understand the issue of college education today. “The College Dropout Boom,” written in 2005, addresses the issue of how lower-income students are discouraged…
