A Study On Wartburg College

In high school, students have the tendency to think that community college is something that is bad. In “Confessions Of A Girl Who Was ‘Too Smart For Community College’,” Chelsea Fagan talks about how in school, she had a hard time in school with her grades and how her school showed off kids that went to college on a bulletin board. She tried everything to avoid going to a community college. Only for the reason that there was a “stigma” on how community colleges are mostly frowned upon or even laughed at (Fagan). Being rejected from many colleges she then convinced herself that she was too smart to go to a community college. Later on she reluctantly went to community college expecting it to be terrible. She quickly realized that community college was a great place to be. Later on, this gave her opening to go to other places. She closes off with her stating how community college is a great place financially and also a great place to mature. In “Confessions Of A Girl Who Was ‘Too Smart For Community College,’” Chelsea Fagan’s simple structure and casual tone make it easy for a reader to understand her main point, and I agree with her concerns on the reproach of community college, but she never really explained why community college was great other than her thoughts on it being cheaper making her argument a little weak.

Many years and musicals later, as a junior heavily involved with the musical program, my director came to me with an exciting proposition. She’d heard of a program that was being utilized all throughout the world: the International Thespian Society. As the class representative of the musical, she proposed to me that we look into the possibility of our school creating an official chapter of the organization.This program, which would allow students to win awards for hours put into the theatre arts, push themselves to obtain higher rankings on the thespian scale, travel to theatre competitions, and meet students just like themselves at sponsored conventions, was the perfect way for myself and many other students at my school to pursue their love for theatre year round. Being part of this prestigious program would help the musical program to expand by grabbing the attention of students schoolwide with the countless opportunities it offers. The strength of the International Thespian Society would provide a strong base of support for the future of our school’s musical program in a society that continues to cut funding to arts programs of schools

Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon have inherited an organic farm from their father and are interested in restructuring the company to a different business form. The four siblings have no desire to take part in the day-to-day operation of the farm, but they have a cousin named Xavier that is willing to oversee operations. Xavier has been the father’s protégé for the past five years and has fallen in love with farm life. He will continue to manage the operations of the orchard, vegetable gardens, grain fields, trout pounds, poultry operation, as well as the fall corn maze and pumpkin patch that have been a staple in the community for years. The five family members are all

I am a dedicated and conscientious student in class, and a key member in many extra-curricular activities. As a keen musician, playing violin, trombone and piano, I contribute to a number of musical ensembles in school and played an integral part in the organisation of our school’s summer concert. I am also a member of several local youth orchestras and bands, with whom I have toured abroad many times, most recently to Italy, France and Belgium.

John R. Thelin called the period from 1970 to 1980 “turbulent waters” for all institutions (Thelin, 2011, p. 317). After the golden age, the industry of Higher Education in the U.S. faced the not-so-bright future with a lot of colleges and universities being shut down. Thelin (2011, p. 337) points out that the institutions could have been prepared to handle the steadily declining enrollment, decreased revenues, decline in funding, stagflation, and rising campus maintenance costs if only they picked on the first signs of upcoming financial crisis when in 1970, the share price of the NSMC fell from $140 to $7 over the short period of time (Thelin, 2011, p. 317). However, the universities and colleges of that time were so confident and relied on “the public image of higher education as a “growth industry” (Thelin, 2011, p. 318) so much, that they were not monitoring the changing situation and thus, were not fast enough in adopting to new conditions. It does not mean that there were many college closings; vice a versa, some colleges grew, opened new programs and applied for research grants. These colleges adopted the enterprise thinking (Thelin, 2011, p. 337).

In my freshman year at UW-Platteville I want to get a sense of what career choices are available and to establish myself as a successful student. I hope to be part of the campus activities by participating in band, choir, and orchestral groups. UW-Platteville seems like such a welcoming school, and I am excited to meet the students and staff. I look forward to the year

Paul Blanchette had an interesting idea to increase enrollment into the program. He suggested we have a booth in a club rush activity or let the student’s part take in clubs on campus. If we are involved in a club gathering, we might be able to reach a student’s parent, brother or sister. If students were to get involved in club activities, it could motivate them to want to be part of the college and attend class. If a student stopped attending, they would normally be dropped from the class and therefore not meet the qualifications of being a student, and participating in

The question you might ask yourself is “ Why would a transparent Freeport girl want to go to Lone Star - Kingwood , whenever we have a great community college locally here in Brazoria county ? “ This might sound a harsh , but Brazosport college is not good enough for me. Apart from being raised here for most of my life , I do not have any wants to live here if I don’t have to. My own personal idea of what the problem is that Brazosport college gets the people of Brazoria county comfortable with staying in their area.Therefore, I will not be a victim of comfortability.

While being enrolled in College Credit Plus, I have had the opportunity to take dual credit classes that have better prepared me for rigorous college level work. Although half of my classes are college taught, I have still been able to maintain a strong connection to my high school and the extracurricular courses it has to offer. Academics courses are very important to me however, one of my favorite parts of the day is being able to play in the schools highest orchestra group: Sinfonia. I am thankful to be a part of the College Credit Plus program because of the time management skills and preparation it has given me to be a successful college student.

Throughout my reading on the article by Kinchen there were many new and great findings brought to my attention. I had never knew anything about the history of Edward Waters College or really heard about it. She opened my view and understanding of what this schools history was all about. I found out about many opportunities of the school back then when it was first instituted with all women. This school was opened to set slaves free and become educated from their previous lifestyles they had gone through. During my reading, Kinchen displayed various of themes and points she came across overtime while experiencing at Edward Waters. In this paper I will be gladly to talk about some of them and what she tried to convey.

The week before all-state orchestra auditions meant everything needed to be perfect. I would meticulously practice my cello for extended periods of time, revisiting the same difficult passages until I was satisfied or my fingers became numb. There were few performance opportunities in South Dakota like all-state orchestra so I was determined to give a superb audition. Yet, regardless of the outcome I always felt proud, knowing I had done everything I could. Through these experiences I refined qualities such as excellence and diversity, which I anticipate will strengthen the student body, faculty, and mission at the Creighton University School of Medicine.

The programs offered here, specifically the musical groups (whether student-run or school-run) bring students and faculty together. There are a number of faculty ensembles, student ensembles, and even mixed ensembles, both instrumental and choral, that strengthen the community of the school. The interest of the students is in the school’s best interests; there are jazz bands, classical bands, orchestras, choral groups, acapella groups, and even theatre. These ensembles are a great way to make friends, pursue your dreams and give something more to a college education here at the University of
