Throughout my time in middle and high school, I was always surrounded with people like me, minorities but with the dream of succeeding. In high school I have noticed that more, but I have also noticed that something is holding people back. I have groups of friends that were born in the United States, and others were born in Dominican Republic or a Caribbean country. But the point is that whether we were born here, or over there, there are different traditional values pointed to gender roles…

A few weeks ago, I took a job at my primary school. It is the place I spent almost every day from kindergarten to eighth grade. It is the place where I grew up. It’s a Waldorf school. A place where there is a door for fairies at the base of an old oak tree, and days are spent in creative pursuits while filling minds with knowledge. It is a place where imagination lives. Growing up, my education was different from most. The majority of people I meet are unfamiliar with Waldorf education. It goes…

The expectation of going to college to receive a higher education is placed upon every adolescent after they graduate from high school. Throwing up one’s cap and receiving a diploma seems bittersweet, as it is a reward and documentation of completing the thirteen required years of basic education, however, one is thrown the burden of adulthood at them afterwards. The two plausible roads to take after graduating is to endure stress-inducing college or find a decent job that can support oneself. I…

In schooling, equality and other similar occasions, the American Dream is apparent. Robin McManus, a teacher from Montgomery County, MD,…

Community College Should Stay the Same I don’t agree with Barack Obama’s idea of having free community college. There is many points that you will have to consider when you think of free community college, such as the professors not have the same wage that they are earning as if now. There will be students that might not take the education seriously, their mind will be that since it’s free it will not really affect him/her but as it won’t affect their budget it would affect the university that…

Why Go to College? Jiddu Krishnamurti once wrote, “There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from that moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.” People go to college to get a direction for life. They want to grow and become better. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the holder of a bachelor’s degree will make an average of $40,478 per year as opposed to just $22,895 for high…
