My constant mental battle is figuring out if I want to remain in state to save my parents pockets and myself from impending debt. Why is that I have to sacrifice my preference of learning establishment for the sakes of money? College education in America is strenuous and expensive. Students are forced to worry first about their debts, scholarships, loans, and…

connect with another person on an emotional level. However, my development throughout secondary school has allowed me to become a mature, compassionate, and responsible individual. I then asked myself, “What does being a high school senior truly mean?” At last, I’m on top of the high school hierarchy.

of any circumstances. I have come to this conclusion about teaching since my first teaching experience when I was twenty as a camp counselor. It was a camp for junior high school students and I got to teach them in groups and one on one with each student. I was in locum parentis for one week with each group of junior high school students.

Focusing on rural communities in China and India, these regions have unique aspects that can be compared and contrasted with one another to explore the cross cultural differences in education. Poverty, child labor, and economic weakness can imply why children in these rural areas have generally low quality education and minimal amount of schooling. Cultural and social factors in…
