Stonyhurst College

College is a big part of life for a lot of people. Not only is a lot of time invested in making it through school by attending class and doing homework, but a lot of time is also spent on picking which college to go to. In Andrew Delbanco’s newspaper article “A Smug Education,” which was published by The New York Times on March 8, 2012, Delbanco urges that notorious colleges should stop encouraging their students to take excessive amounts of pride in which college they go to. Delbanco explains…

hope to attend college and take such classes that will continue my education of livestock and rangeland management which will benefit my ability to manage my own cattle operation. Aside from my plans of a cattle operation, I hope to continue my passion for aviation in a way that will aid in the modernization of my cattle operation but will also add financial support on expenses. Throughout and after college, I hope to participate in rodeo as a saddle bronc rider at the local, college, and with…

When I first enrolled here at Tarrant County College, I did not believe I would make it through my first semester here. Academically college is nothing similar to high school. In college you are advised to study and spend your time wisely or you will fail your exams. Unlike High School, where students are able to study a couple hours before their exam and still have a passing grade. In college, I realized time management and good study habits are a very successful way to get you through the…

it again when they were fourteen. I had learned from a student here at UWL, that is from Japan, that they go to school almost all day, more hours than we do, and have to take these extremely difficult exams to enter high school and then to enter college. Adolescents are in the moratorium stage because they are so young and not sure what options there are. If they missed the critical period for learning they may have a difficult time getting into school. Consequently, this could leave…

I participated on working more volunteer hours than I ever did before in high school. I tried to contribute as much community service every month for the right amount of hours. In my high school, Hanover Central High School, in Cedar Lake, I joined clubs including the Gardening Club, the Yearbook Club, and Key Club. I was the Bulletin Editor for Key Club for two years and an Editor on the Yearbook Club in my senior year. For my academics, I am not a genius. However, I joined the English Academic…

opposing viewpoints on whether or not community college is the best option for members of society. Many times, the word “college” is mistaken for meaning a person is trying to obtain a four-year degree as opposed to a two-year degree. The reason for this common mistake is that most people are trained to believe that the only way to obtain a meaningful college degree is to attend a four year university. This however is not the case, although community colleges only provide two year degrees, they…

Education is everywhere. A majority of someone’s life is spent working toward a person’s ideal education. From age five to eighteen is required, nevertheless, how many of us continue on? And what is the reason some do choose to go on to college? To make more money? To have a strategy? Peer pressure? Furthering one’s education is a decision full of rich opportunities. A few say that one goal in life would be self support. Acquiring an advanced education allows for the idea of self support to be a…

College is a Choice Deciding on whether to go to college or not is a huge step in becoming a functioning adult in the world that we know today. And that is the thing, we get to decide. The whole point of going to college is to get a degree of your choosing. You will not meet a single person in college that did not go there by someone else 's choice but their own. I was not one of those people that wanted to go to college. It didn 't appeal to me as much as it did my friends and family. I was not…

students often turn to alternate forms of education, including community or for-profit colleges. With community colleges filling up fast these days some students turn to for-profit colleges to achieve their secondary education desires. Almost anyone who watches American television is bound to see commercials from for-profit institutions that claim students with degrees earn more and have better lives. For-profit colleges are schools that are granted their funds through shares and are operated by…

Since I was a child, I was watching many soccer games on TV or sometimes I went to my older brother to the soccer fields in my town and I saw many professional players there. I was watching so many soccer games, but I could not play. I was hoping to become a good soccer player like the players I saw on TV or in the fields, but no one encouraged me to play soccer because I was a child and they thought I cannot play soccer because my body was too small. Moreover, some schools in my city did not…
