Betty Hollins: A Student Analysis

Higher education in America is facing many challenges, i.e., low retention, low graduation rates and less funding. Postsecondary institutions are scrambling to remain a competitive entity within society. In order to do so, students must remain in school (Talbert, 2012). The Office of the White House states (2014), educational attainment is critical to our county’s economic success. In essence, the work force is creating more jobs requiring more education and a higher level of skill than was previously achieved. Individuals with only a high school diploma will not make into the middle class sector because of

I am a dedicated educator who has devoted her life to educating low-income families in New Orleans, Louisiana. By pursuing my doctorate at Argosy University, I believe that the rigorous course of study will enhance my knowledge and productivity in the workplace. Argosy University Educational Leadership program is compatible with my career goals. My career goals are to obtain higher education, teach adult learners and to start a non-profit organization. The non-profit organization will focus on low-economics families while giving needed educational services to students who attend the charter schools of Orleans parish. As I researched Argosy University curriculum and conversated with an admission counselor I am convinced the University gives a supportive learning environment for student’s lives and careers.

Although, it is common for an undergraduate student to change their career path, adults often alter their job direction as well. The reasons for an individual to begin a new job are endless. In an article by Betty Southwick it is estimated that in the year 2009 twenty percent of workers will start a new job. Especially in our current economic downfall with an estimated 2.4 million Americans unemployed, according to the Associate Press, it is extremely important for one to be proficient in multiple skills and have a broad knowledge base. The background information learned in a liberal arts education gives one the knowledge to succeed if they are forced to find work outside the field in which they have a degree. A liberal arts education creates a well-rounded individual. If liberal arts education were replaced with specialized education, in universities, students would be at a disadvantage. Focusing solely on one area handicaps an individual and limits their knowledge base. Therefore, making opportunities harder to come by during rough economic times like our society is currently experiencing.

Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her. I believe that the truth about Abigail was that she wasn’t a witch .Betty wanted to do witchcraft . Although Abigail had seemed a little scared .One day both of them had gone to the forest and danced ,they had went to the forest ,because the village people believed that when you dance your dancing with the devil.. A few days later I believe they were asking Abigail and Betty what they were doing there and they had said that Mercy was there too. Mercy supposedly had said that she was not doing anything bad that she was just “looking”at them dance . A few days

During my years of service, I’ve received extensive training but it lacked opportunity and unfortunately not instantly adaptable to the civilian world. College was put on the back burner during my military career because I enjoyed being a Soldier and I wanted to be the best at what I did. Now that I have kids of my own in college and my own life experiences, I have come to understand the value of a higher education that my younger, less experienced self never understood. While pursuing my associate’s degree, I had always been the older and more experienced student than my peers, which has helped me keep things in perspective. I’ve encountered students who would complain about their school workload or teacher and it sadden me that young people today had no idea how fortunate they really are. As a Soldier, I have been in situations significantly more stressful than sitting in on a lecture, or passing exams and my deployments have helped me to fully appreciate the opportunities bestowed upon me and to welcome all challenges that come with it. My passion is to one day be a motivating teacher who can share the history I’ve lived, the lessons I’ve learned and the value of a great education if you work

After graduation, I committed myself to learning new things and more importantly to try things that intimidated and frightened me. While doing so, I searched for and found a way to make a change in the lives of those who needed help the most. I became a career advisor for one of Washington D.C’s largest workforce development projects. I was tasked with the responsibility of teaching DC’s welfare population the essential skills needed to progress in life, and succeed in the workforce. Having overcame being a learning disabled student, and traumatic brain injury I was

Betty Marie Tallchief had a dream to be a ballerina. She became a local star, but her instructor told her she needed to go over the basics again. She didn’t think she needed to, so she didn’t learn the basics again. After she moved, she was teased at school. She later became famous. This is the story of Betty Marie Tallchief.

As a recent graduate of Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Design focusing on art history and education, the position as Education Coordinator and Advisor at Buena Vista University captured my attention as an opportunity to work with students through educational programming. As a recent college student, I provide a valuable perspective on academic advising through my own personal experiences. I have learned many advisors lack in truly connecting and catering to each student’s individual situation and needs. Buena Vista University, a relatively small area college, provides an opportunity to fully connect and provide personal one-on-one experience all students deserve. Subsequently, students gain the absolute most out of their college education. A large part of my career goals entail helping students of all ages engage, thrive and connect in their own individualized way.

Mrs. Betty Thomas is a seventy-three-year-old African American female who was born on April 17, 1942, in San Bernardino, CA. She was born into a family of nine children, six girls and three boys. I conducted the interview in the Thomas family home where Mrs. Thomas and her immediate family have resided in for fifty-five years. Her husband of over 50 years is deceased, and she misses him dearly. Mrs. Thomas is a tiny frame and short woman who stands about 5 feet, 105 pounds or less. She stands with no slump in here posture.  Her appearance was very comfortable dressed attire, black socks and not shoes.  Her home is well kept, tidy and scented with the smell of beef stew coming from a slow cooker on the kitchen counter. The home is in the midst of a working middle-class neighborhood; furnished with modern casual furniture, along with photographs of close family members spread throughout the living room and hallway area.

As a senior in high school, questions regarding college and my plans for the years following graduation are asked to me on a day-to-day basis. College is definitely the most important thing I am focused on this year, and although a college degree is highly valued in the job field today, many argue that not everyone should attend college due to the fact that it brings a new level of responsibility that many cannot handle, many careers now do not require a four-year degree, and because students no longer have the desire to learn.

1. What were the expectations for middle class girls and women in the 1950s? During the time period of the 1950’s, middle class girls and women had certain expectations placed on them. Some of these expectations included meeting a man, getting married at a young age, and starting a family of their own.

In this era of global economic stress, Lieberman encourages students to go follow their passions and go to college. even though they may not get the job they desire in the start of their career not to give up. In Lieberman’s article Stop Scaring Students, one of her main ideas is that college helps students develop basic life skills. Lieberman proves that she truly believes in healthy dose of learning because she states that “All students need a healthy dose of learning opportunities that build the skills and capacities that will support them as their professional and personal lives unfold.”(Stop Scaring Students) Lieberman believes that all students young and old should get a strong education so students can build their skills in college for

In the realm of the world we call college, there are many different paths one can take. When choosing the path of being an education major, one begins to see the benefits of their choice long before they see their degree. The field experience that is required with the courses one has to take for this major allow students to dip their toes into their field and get real life experience before entering the real world. This semester, I had the opportunity of working at Oasis Tutoring Center. While tutoring at this center, I was not only able to learn more about my ability to teach, but also connect these experiences to the psychology of education.

I am currently enrolled in college taking online classes. I’ve been taking online classes for more years than I care to remember. In the past I’d take a class or two here, and a semester break or two there. One of those breaks spanned nearly five years! It wasn’t until I was laid off from my job and forced to seek employment for the first time in nearly thirty-six years, that it became clear to me that most employers won’t seriously consider your application if you don’t have a college degree. While I had considerable experience in all of the fields I applied for, I lacked the educational requirements listed in the employment announcement. Now four classes away from achieving my goal I look back to considered all the hard work and sacrifice that has gone into my getting this far and I ask, “Could anything deter me from completing my mission and reaching my goal?” This paper will consider a similar situation and ask the question, “When faced with a problem, what do you do to solve it? To answer this question I will attempt to apply a six-step problem solving process to this specific problem. I will write a paper that presents a combination of my ideas about solving this problem using this systematic approach.
