Santa Fe Community College

Getting my scholarship for Santa Fe, graduating high school, moving out of the house, moving into an apartment, getting a job, and now starting freshman year of college. It is insane! It feels like it was just yesterday that I graduated from Klein Oak. Seeing all my family tear up as I walked across that stage, getting my diploma. Being part of the graduation of the Class of 2018. Seeing the acceptance letter for Santa Fe, crying with my mom in happiness. Saying goodbye to all my friends, wishing them well. I remember everything. My parents were a little leery of letting me move to Florida and moving in with Michael at first. After being together for five years and waiting for the distance to finally close between us, I had to move in with him. Packing took forever. I had to take almost everything with me to Florida. Since we could not afford a plane ride there, my family decided to drive. A U-Haul full of my stuff and my parents and I on the road. I could tell that they were hurt to see me leave, but I could not stay at the house forever. The whole ride here, we sang and laughed and smiled and cried and danced. It was an awesome, but long thirteen hour drive.…

hrs Ikhra called back reporting that her vehicle was now missing and she suspected Diriye took the vehicle but she did not see him actually take the vehicle. I went back to the address and contacted Ikhra and her mother, Isniino Osman. Isniino is the registered owner of the vehicle, but Ikhra is the primary driver of the vehicle. Isniino speaks little English, therefore, Ikhra processed as the translator. Isniino stated that she did not give anyone else beside Ikhra permission to borrow/use/…

right way. In Christopher Caldwell 's essay, “What a College Education Buys”, he talks about the many things that are in occurrence from a college education, and I agree with him in that sometimes you have to ask yourself if an expensive college education is really way of achieving your career? The process of getting and education is fairly simple.…

at the beginning, but I did end well. I finished my High school diploma in May 2015 at Georgia with 3.8 GPA. At that time my family decided to move to Houston due to my dad job situation. When we came to the Houston I felt vital changes in weather, Texas accent, and the person’s communication were way opposite from Atlanta. That was a big change in my life. Then, I started to search for a community college to begin my college career. On the other hand, my friend and family member was looking…

Having your college education taken away from you is like striping away your future. Students in the United States should not have their education and future striped away from them therefore, community colleges must be free to attend and state colleges need to lower their tuition in order for student to continue their education. For those who are interested in continuing their education, could benefit from this, they can become successful and live a better life. They wouldn’t have to worry about…

of a higher education. The cost for college tuitions is quickly rising every year, therefore, people are less likely to strive for college due to cost. Unfortunately ordinary mundane jobs like McDonald’s or Pizza Hut are starting to requiring college education for more high paying positions. Even so, college enrollments are dropping 69% to 66% in 2008-2013 ( JP. “What are the odds of succeeding with a college degree?”). With all this it seems pretty evident that Free Education would be the very…

This is a one-third of the cost for one year at a four-year college or university. For a four-year public school, it 's around $8,000 for tuition and fees, and another $9,000 dollars for room and board costs. That is an average of $17,000 a year (Christina Couch np). Private colleges are three times the amount of public universities. After you receive your degree, job officials are less concerned with where you received it. All they care about is that you have the degree they are looking for to…

According to the college board the average cost of college has raised at a ten year historical rate of about 5% per year for decades. During the 2014-2015 year private institution’s tuition increases at a rate of about 3.7% and at public institutions at a rate of about 2.9%. Imagine if something you eat/drink regularly like a McDonald’s cheeseburger or a Starbucks coffee price increased at that same rate of 5%. Would it be worth purchasing? Would you find cheaper alternatives? Would you treat it…

describe your community college academic experience? Has it been "a walk in the park," "an uphill climb," or something else? Fill in the blank with your own expression and explain. (Limit 600 characters) I wrote two different paragraphs. I wanted to see how they sounded. I will choose one. Coming from Nepal, a country vastly different from the United States both culturally and academically, my time here at TCC NE campus has been one of the most challenging, rewarding and fulfilling…
