“So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–/It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit,” are the lines that have inspired me, uplifted my spirits and buoyed me up, when I could not see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I get the poet’s simple yet meaningful message, never throw in the towel, in every alliteration, simile, even rhyme scheme. When my cupcakes were undercooked, or when they collapsed on my second attempt at baking, “success is failure turned inside out”, kept me motivated and I baked my third tray in a preheated oven in 350 degrees Fahrenheit for forty minutes and got absolutely scrumptious cupcakes. When I did not get a perfect score in the eleventh grade, as I was wont to till then, I did feel a pang of …show more content…
Moreover, last year, I wrote my essay as a candidate for the AFS Intercultural program and was certain to proceed to the next stage. Therefore, I was agitated for I was unable to understand the reason when I was not selected. I was angry and with angst raging in me, I almost did not recognize myself, when, “often the struggler has given up/when he might have captured the victor’s cup,” changed my perspective and I found that I started adopting a different approach – I introspected and thought about all the things that could have affected the result. Having done that I applied again, requested that I be given another chance, which I was – and qualified! Eventually two months later, I found myself seated in a Lufthansa flight, headed to Stuttgart in a group of twelve teenagers, to spend two months with my host family in the village of Hiemerdingen and attend school with my German siblings. Had I allowed myself to give up, I would have never lived the sixty days immersed in a culture and surroundings dramatically different from mine with a family who were strangers before I met them at the airport.

Should college be free? A current universal problem poses this question. In today’s world, full of public education standards that hold students maybe too high and in a generation bogged down by student debt, this issue qualifies as a problem more than many are maybe even willing to admit. While the prospect of free college proposes excellent ideals such as a stronger and smarter generation, no student loan problems, and a higher educated society, the truth may actually lie in the reality that making college free would do more hindrance than good and is not the answer to these problems. Free college would increase economic problems, according to Andrew P. Kelly, who says it would only shifts the cost to someone else. As well, it would also hinder our education system. Michael J. Petrilli writes that making college free would “probably shift billions of dollars a year from programs that help talented poor kids access higher education and improve our schools”. Although the concept of free higher education is becoming appealing to the general population, it ultimately would create more problems than it solved and do virtually nothing of huge significance to increase the level of intelligence in modern society.
Each year, college tuition increases more and more, which makes getting a higher education almost impossible for some people. According to Pay it forward written by Catherine Morris tuitions and fees at public four-year institutions has been increasing an average of 3.4 percent each year between 2005 and 2015.
Calling Dr. Brown—I saw my first patients while in Mrs. T’s Imaginarium Court tucked in a corner of my K/1 combo class at Bergeson Elementary. It was a place of dreams and aspirations, painted with bold colors, lavished with fabrics and costumes, and encouraging an array of childhood imaginations. This corner represented my inner desires. Dressed in my white lab coat with a stethoscope draped over my neck, I sat anxiously awaiting the chance to cure my patients’ boo-boo’s, intent on serving my own dose of care and empathy.
When I first got out of the Marine Corps my friends and family told me to go to college. I had no idea what to study. So, like others, I started a Criminal Justice program. A few months later the September Eleventh attacks accrued and I found myself back on active duty. I did not return to school for twelve years.
The economy does not have free community college. They have made it about increasing the level of debt. Many people have introduced free community college. This would affect a lot of people on our economy. This would also decrease personal freedoms for a lot of the public, reduce quality, and send the wrong message to students.
My research on free community college has brought me to your article in the Los Angeles Times “Why Obama's plan for tuition-free community colleges is a good idea” in which you describe how free community college would benefit this nation and exemplify national principals. Your opinion is similar to that of the President, and the democratic presidential candidates. What differentiated you from the others with your stance is your genuine belief in you argument. You were not trying to sell us the plan like the President was, but you were stating what your truly thought was the best for America. The article was written in a very timely manner as America is searching for ways to revitalize our economy and educational system. As you may know, I
Free tuition for colleges is a topic that has come up a lot lately in the United States. Especially in the beginning of this year, when the democratic race was in place, Bernie Sanders started making tuition-free colleges one of his campaign points. While there are some that seem to neglect the idea of free tuition, the majority will agree that if not free at least it should be affordable. This topic is a very interesting one because it provides fascinating facts on both sides of the spectrum. One thing people argue against free tuition is that the United States has around 300 million people in population and it could not possibly keep up with the increase in college attendance and cost. On the other hand free tuition in colleges is relative common in almost every first world country around the world and even second and third world countries. Which leaves us to determine that it is not only possible for government to be responsible for education but it seems to be the norm around the world except in the United States. I think that colleges should be tuition free. Community colleges should be funded by the government and the government should not only be responsible in providing free tuition to its citizens but take pride that its citizens have access to free education, making its society an educated one.
While you grow up through school, you hear over and over that college is a must if you want to land a good job as an adult. That seems reasonable, I have to get a higher education to get a job with more money and potential. Then comes junior year and you go to look at schools and you see the price of tuition. Everything changes, college isn’t just a dream anymore it's a burden.
The price of college is a big factor when looking at colleges. Two main things students look for in a college is the education and the price. All schools differ in the pricing of their content. That includes books, dorm, facilities, price per semester, and much more. Community colleges eliminate a big chunk of the typical college expenses.
The words “free college tuition” spark interest in any college student with accumulating debt. In fact, this topic is so incredibly supported that Bernie Sanders implemented it as a core interest in his 2016 campaign. Once Hillary Clinton became the Democratic nominee, she decided to take it on herself with an extensive plan that guaranteed students free tuition. Unsurprisingly, free tuition resonates extremely well within the student demographic. To forty million Americans, free tuition eliminates the largest problem for students: debt (Hess, 2017). However, free college tuition generates the inverse of what these low-income and middle-income students believe. In fact, free college cripples them from multiple perspectives; students will end up spending more financially, will be less likely to graduate with a degree, and will be subjected to more inequality and less exposure.
For some people, I am ‘The Streak’, for some ‘The Whoosh, or for some ‘the flash. What the media calls me is ‘The Blur’. Though most people call me by various other names, I prefer this name because the person in the media who gave me this name is the love of my life. Now many people who don’t know about me or are new to Manchester City wonder as to who are the people talking about when they hear my name. So it all started about a year ago when I was walking past a government controlled scientific laboratory. That laboratory is currently the place from where I monitor the whole city for any activity that might require some extra speed as it hasn’t been functional since that night. That night, like my usual habit I was roaming outside the TINS
Have you ever wanted something so badly, but never knew how to start or even get there? Ha-ha...who am I kidding, we all have. Well that how my story all starts.
Mason HotakainenPaper #19-10-15 Nate threw a ball and it hit me right in the stomach. I dropped not because it hurt, but because I was six and a little pansy. Nate asked “are you ok?”. I said “does it look like I’m ok?”. Then he said toughen up and i grabbed the ball whipped around and chucked it. The ball hit him right down stairs. I walked away and said “are you ok?”. My Uncle Nate has been a great influence in my life because he would take me fishing, camping, and I can trust him with anything.Nate would always take me fishing and it was usually pretty early when we would go. One time I started dozing off, so he took my line, wrapped it under the boat, and hooked it on the edge of the boat. He then grabbed my line and pulled it so hard the pole fell out of my hands. I started reeling in but I couldn't. After about two minutes he started laughing and I realized what he had done. Later that day I fell off the boat.Nate has taken me camping more times then I can count. He always makes camping a lot more interesting. He has almost burnt down the whole entire campground twice. He's a little clumsy if you haven't already noticed. Camping with him always makes the trips complete.He has always been rough on me.
I have more knowledge about history than most adults. Because I read a lot of history books. Go to monuments and talk to historians I love to learn about new things. I like to learn about the government and how it works. I am interested in law I’ve gone to a trial before. Someday I might be a lawyer. I lived in Spain for a year and learned Spanish and had lots of friend from all over the world. I also got my black belt, which was really hard because it took a long time and I had to memorize a lot of stuff. I also love to read deep books because they intrigue me to think about things.
