Kids these days love to get what they want. Most of them are shown that they need to earn it, or either wait for it. This causes children to flare and want to get a job, to earn the things they want sooner. Student’s should not be allowed to get afterschool jobs because it interferes with school, students are risking their grades to earn minimum wage. A job creates a less personal life for a student that it does not allow them to have leisure time or even a social life. Those who get a job at a…

these organizations are left out making their effectiveness hard to pin point. The example of Chelsea Jones is given, she is a student who did not understand how to get on a path to college and “became involved with a college-access program through Princeton” (Riggs 15). No explanation to how she became involved with this is given leaving one to wonder if there was so little help out there for her then how she became a part of it. “First Generation College-Goers” is a well-intentioned mess…

as a medium for expressing the solutions to our problems before implementation of the agreed plan. However, when you have a big organization with multiple departments like Creighton University does you often have the problem of bureaucracy within the organization. The president of Creighton acts as head of the University and works for the board to ensure day-to-day operations are going along in a cohesive and efficient manner. But when you have many different departments that mean the…

The Growing Problem of Student Debt A question that always seems to come up at the dinner table when a senior is finishing their last year of high school is that of, “what college are you going to choose and how are you going to pay for it?” Although both questions are kind of hard to answer on the spot, one is more difficult than the other. Most high school students struggle to come up with the finances to pay for college. The sad part is that everyone needs an education to have any sort of…

graduation rate was 57 percent for males and 62 percent for females. 2. Support material: On the other hand, only 33 percent actually graduated in 4-years and received their bachelor 's degree. B. Here in Cal State University San Bernardino our overall graduation rate was 52 percent in 2009 and 2 percent for our transfer-out rate. Based on the office of institutional research I’ve found statistics that students pursuing a Bachelor 's degree only 9 percent…

College…. The ultimate freedom from mom and dad, especially when they can be kind of strict about how you behave and what you believe in. High School graduates all over the country leave home to go to college and gain a higher education, but could they be losing their religion because of it? In the article, “Why College Students Are Losing Their Religion,” by Conor Friedersdorf he expresses that it is not the college’s fault, but rather the weak hold that religion has on its people. I agree with…

“Mr. D, how do you say this (holding a pen) in English?” It was my first day back to school in Dubai. As I looked at my seventh grade student whom I knew I was going to be teaching history and geography to, exclusively in English, I realized I was in for a long semester. But, I empathized. “It’s a pen,” I said patiently. She nodded with understanding. Eight months later, my socially acclimatized student was conversing fluently in English with her peers. And, she had become one of my top students…

Plagiarism is an occurrence whereby a person employs or closely replicates the language and opinions of an author without approval, and represents the work of the author as his or her own, by failing to credit the original author ("The Definition of Plagiarism"). Individuals who plagiarize risk ruining their careers and reputations, and in some extreme cases, face the danger of being arraigned in court and parting with large sums of money in the form of compensation to the affected authors…

Senioritis It was the second day of my senior year, my alarm clock starting going off and I looked over, with my eyes still trying to process what was going on, and it read 6:30 a.m. I rolled back over and put the covers over my head and fell back asleep. I realized that I was ill and senioritis had made its way to me and the symptoms were very clear. Senioritis is a disease that was finally established in the early 20th century, usually striking high school and college students causing:…

On the other hand, it can be argued by the data above, that making a global community faculty was not necessarily the goal for the participants interviewed, and this is adding up to the intrinsic value Cooper and Mitsunaga found. Global Faculty Community is sensed as another important tool to achieve a deeper and greater goal, namely, the building up of knowledge and sharing for the sake of education. Either directly or indirectly, each professor participant of this small study made such…
