When it comes to the reasons as to why my ancestors came here from Canada, I am absolutely unsure. There were various military conflicts throughout the 1800s in Canada, and perhaps that is one reason that my family came to the United States (“Remembrance Timeline,” 2016). From the South African War to World War One, Canada experienced events that could have precipitated emigration. This is of course but a theory as to why my family once left Canada to come to the United States, but I find it…

I believe that every U.S. citizen should be able to have a college education. Education has changed in the past few decades. In the past high school was a necessity, but now the same is happening to college. Nowadays a college education has become necessary for many careers. On average, a male high school dropout will earn $24,000 a year, while someone with a four-year degree will earn $52,000 and someone with an advanced degree will earn $67,000. Many students are struggling with college…

There are two agents of sociology, primary and secondary. Agents are extremely helpful when studying sociology or just people in general. A basic definition of primary groups would be: “made up of people who have regular contact, enduring relationships, and a significant emotional attachment to each other” ( 176). For example, family is a primary agent. Primary agents are considered the most important, while secondary groups are “made up of people who interact in a relatively…

Melanie Shipe Catherine Kula English Composition II 17 September 2016 The Six Reasons Why College is Worth it Ever since I was a little girl I knew that my calling was nursing. So for me, the choice to continue my education after high school was a no-brainer. However, for others, reaching this decision is heavier and more complicated. These people get to weigh their options: do they spend money now to further their education, or do they start making money now and go straight into the work force…

Downside of Grades “Don’t let schooling interfere with your education,” Mark Twain once stated. Mark Twain’s quote should be implied on education today, where students should focus more on their academic knowledge in education. Alfie Kohn, the author of “The Dangerous Myth of Grade Inflation”, describes students are losing the focus and knowledge of what the opportunities are provided for them to pursue in education. In agreement, the loss of academic knowledge continues to plague high school…

From a kid coloring pages in a kindergarten to a pupil crafting mini-garden in a primary school, a teenage playing game in a middle school to a high school junior preparing academically for college, our children grow up in the mold of a traditional system. The next stage waiting for most of these children is to get a college degree. As our society develops very fast, many scholars believe that attending college is not a primary choice anymore for high school students. They can study by…

The change between the beginning of high school and the end of high school occurs for everybody, but it truly amazes me how the person I am today contrasts so much from the person I was at the beginning of high school or even the beginning of the semester. Despite the stereotypicality of changing in highschool, I believe I possess something that most students do not, self-realization. This self-realization serves as the fuel for my desire for self-improvement. This self-realization is different…

As leader of a residential college at Yale University, William Zinsser describes the different amount of pressures that students struggle with in college in his essay, “College Pressures”. Because of his position at the university, he constantly noticed the students around him and the anxiety that was radiating off them. He believes that economic pressures cause students to feel anxious about paying back student loans after college. However, parental pressure leads students to make decisions…
