The Graduate

They feel entering the workforce immediately is too risky. Twitchell proves this assertion by showing that “at the turn of the twentieth century, one percent of high school graduates attended college; that figure is now close to 70 percent” (Twitchell 438). Therefore, students delay working or starting businesses to earn their degrees. They believe that in order to attain the American Dream in today’s society, college becomes…

During my graduate studies, I plan on studying aerospace engineering, with an emphasis of materials. Specifically, how materials behave and endure in extreme conditions like high radiation, high and low temperatures, and long durations of vacuum exposure. Once I graduate with my PhD in Aerospace Engineering, I will continue to conduct research and teach students as a research professor. Through…

Christmas in Dixie It’s been a few years since I composed a Christmas letter because final grading always trumped my desire to celebrate the season and keep touch with friends and family. So, let’s catch up! As most of you know, I love mountains, creeks, moonlight (perhaps moonshine), walks in the woods, and bonfires. Additionally, I really dislike snow & ice, frigid temps, gray skies, and prairie winds. Due to this fact, Chris and I spent many years discussing possible locations to relocate…

professional golfer Walter Charles Hagen said "Nobody remembers who came in second", I dedicated myself to be the best. I believe that my strong background in Statistics will distinguish me from other students. Also, it will enable my success as a graduate student at…

one issues we have in schools are all the pointless classes we are forced to take instead of taking the right classes we need to know when we graduate high school and go off on our own. Why are we being taught these classes when we are not going to use them in our lives in the future it is a waste of time and knowledge there is simply no point. When we graduate high school and go off on our own lots of students have to figure things out on their own it has been said many times it would have…

was then that I had to make the decision of whether I should get a job or advance my education, and the decision was simple. How could I pass up the opportunity to refine my chemistry knowledge, and truly become an expert within my field? Although graduate school is difficult, we must put in work to make progress. Polymer science was the most logical choice I could have made for my career path. The fact that I could not look in any direction without seeing a polymer in some shape or form set…

I completed my BS in Human Services in March 2015. Since that time, I have been researching many colleges fluctuating between the MSW, MFT and Mental Health Counseling degrees. I consider my graduate school decision to be a positive life-altering decision requiring much thought, and research. After an extensive amount of research, and phone conversations, I have decided to pursue a MSW, with the specialization of Military Families and Culture. There are several reasons why I am interested in…

have two retail oriented jobs where i 've established a great foundation of my work ethic. I am continuing to develop my resume and portfolio to help streamline the process graduate school applications. Next, semester is a time for a lot of action for my future, I need one class to graduate and I need to make more time for graduate school financing and planning. I can take that single class and drop to part time, which will substantially reduce my financial aid and void my housing. This can be…

I didn’t know that I was Black until the fifth grade. I mean, I always knew that I was Black as in the Black slash African American box I poorly shaded in every year on the CST. But, I was never truly cognizant in the ways in which the melanin in my skin differentiated me from others. During a passing period between classes, I came to a realization of my race. Like hundreds of times before, I entered the dimly lit restroom connected to the cafeteria of my elementary school; but, instead of…
