Aristotle's Accomplishments

College gives students endless opportunities. During this time, students are able to grow and develop academically and individually. It also provides students with

Preparing for College after graduating from high school is considered to be as one of the most thought by students. Even so, most students nowadays are uncertain whether attending college will be a good advantage for them. Some believe that it is a waste of time and money, but most people consider it as a reason to thrive in life. Unlike High school, College is certainly different because it determines your future and should be taken more earnestly by the students. College education is a worth of cost because it basically provides students with great benefits, which can be a good help in shaping their future goals.

Aristotle was born in circa 384 B.C in Stagira, Greece(Aristotle ‘384-322 B.C.E.’ par 1). Both of his parents had a connection in the field of medicine and his father Nichomachus was the court physician to King Amyntas of Macedonia (Gill par 1) his first close tie to the kingdom. His parents passed away when he was young, and at the age of 17, his guardian and sister's husband, Proxenus, sent him to Athens, to complete his education (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy par 3). Proxenus also taught Aristotle Greek, rhetoric and poetry (“Aristotle.” Aristotle Biography par 6). In Athens, Aristotle enrolled into Plato's academy, studying under him for 20 years and even taught at the academy (Dunn par 1).

College is a chance to be free and is a bridge between the real world and school. I’m an adult and expected to behave as such; I make my own choices where I have to decide what is important to me. I have an opportunity to learn how the world works, to explore the limitless possibilities and a chance to admire how vast knowledge can be. College will change my life in the way that I can develop life skills outside academics, to be fully

Society today is often very pressuring towards young adults when it comes to attending college. Maybe it’s because it is the most appropriate idea for people. College provides the average human with a higher satisfaction of life due to the experience and the positives outcomes than that of someone who chooses not to go to college. Although college results in the possibility of debt afterwards, it is still worth the journey.

Going to college is now a common concept in this generation. Over the past few decades, it has become more common to ship kids off to college as soon as they have graduated high school. Many end up being the first in their family to attend a college or try to get a higher education. Going to college in this century is much different than how college was even ten years ago. There is a lot of decisions that one must make before and during going to college. Many of these decisions are forced upon students while they

For every students that are preparing to graduate high school, they often wonder if they should attend another 4 years of school for a higher education or not. This is an argument that has been going on in the mind of these individual, just minutes away from graduating high school. For them, there are many different factors that goes into that equation such as personal’s goals, and where they stand on the issues of finances. College are not for everyone, it takes time, dedication and money. There are people who meet these requirement but in truth, they are afraid of not being able to live up to the expectation of the people around them; people who wants to go to college but are unable to afford the expenses; people who are afraid of being in debt all they lives; people who believe they are good enough at sports, thus not wanting to go to college. While these are all valid reasons, recent studies indicated that a better education is worth that risk.

An ethical issue that is debated in our society is the concern of driving while intoxicated. Although this was naturally not the case during Aristotle’s time, many of his ethical beliefs can be applied to refute this dilemma. I will prove the standing issue to be unethical through Aristotle’s discussion of virtue and his concept of voluntary/involuntary actions in the Nicomachean Ethics.

“I cannot wait to go to college” is a phrase so often said by every high school senior. I was one of those seniors who had made this phrase their daily mantra. I attended a boarding school in Piney Woods, Mississippi for three years’. Since it was a boarding school, the rules were unbearably strict. I did not have the privilege of enjoying my high school years’ like any other high school student. I did not have the freedom nor the resources nor the location to explore and grow. Hence, I expect my college experience to be an adventurous journey filled with freedom and growth. Also, I expect college to change who I am and carve me into a responsible self- sufficient individual. Nevertheless; in my first week experience, I envision my college

Upon completion of the traditional education system, every student is laden with the decision of either to continue their personal, educational growth or to enter directly into the field for which they have the utmost interest. I, personally, fall into the preceding category. My desire is to attend college in order to allow myself to channel my passions into the workforce. Additionally, I seek the ability to dependably provide for myself and, should the occasion arise, a family. With the two of these notions in mind, it is undeniably apparent that pursuing a college education is imperative to my future, and, as such, is something which I desire to do.

Understanding that there is not a specific time to attend college is important. While researching the question directed towards “the right time to attend college” there were many aspects that came out of that through multiple journals. The authors of the different journals distinguished the outcomes on attending college right after high school. Though there are students who decide to attend college much after high school as well. Through this paper you will see that there are different aspects about attending college fresh out of high school from multiple authors who have had taken their time to research their own analyzed data.

Aristotle was the man that taught the guy that almost conquered the world. Aristotle had taught Alexander The Great from the time that he was 13. Yet this wasn’t his biggest contribution. His biggest contribution was his simple emphasis on logic. He described it as “when certain things are laid down, something else follows out of necessity.” An example of this would be if someone was caught stealing then they would be punished. He said that people should be very cautious when they are about to do something and use logic to think of the consequence. This philosophy gained him many followers and is still used today, you don’t do something stupid because you know what the result will be. The result of his philosophy was that people started taking

Thinking about the future can be nerve wracking and even somewhat intimidating. Transitioning from a school where everyone knows their peers and has an overall routine to a place that is all new can be difficult for many, especially in the beginning. However, by taking mentally challenging classes in high school, as well as planning for what lies ahead, it has been said to be a much easier transition. There are countless paths one can take after senior year, allowing individuals to make one of the most important decisions of their lives; thus preparing them for adulthood and independence. Nonetheless, even with all of these options and the considerable amount of time I have left in my high school career, I have decided on going to college.

“Students who understand the key differences and learn how to bridge the gap between high school and college should have a greater chance for success” (S.Hansen). Most of us spend 15 to 16 years in school to get to college. School plays a significant role in our life. We can do so much different things in school such as play sports, volunteer and extracurricular activities. High school and college are significantly different and they are also similar in some ways, for instance they are different academically and socially. College education is very expensive while high school education is free. “Many incoming college students are simply unprepared to handle differences they find between college and high school” (S.Hansen). Even though, people think that high schools and colleges are very similar, however, there are also many differences and similarities between them.

Many people believe success in college is rocket science, but actually it’s the exact opposite. College is set up for students with the most basic high school knowledge to have a chance to excel. It’s the simple things that can make or break a student’s college career. Things such as going or not going to class. No brainer right? Sometimes sleep seems so much better than eight o’clock A.M. math, but a successful college student has to have the willpower to resist the temptation to not skip out on class. College is all about learning and not cutting corners, which only will hurt in the end. Everyday of missed class information will be lost, therefore the lack of understanding will show on a test or pop quiz. Attendance is a key to success. If I don’t go
