The cost of college tuition can affect the student's life in a way that one would not think like in their future. College stresses students in high school because they have to worry about if their grades are up to par and do they meet the college or university requirements. But more of students stress comes in the future. Fact is proving that most of college students go back home and live with their parents because they are not financially stable to afford their own home because they are still paying off loans. A percent of 85 this year’s graduating class of this year will be forced to move back home in order to help cope with student loan debt.Only 57% of people between 25 and 44 own a home today, a 4% decrease since 1980, ("15 Surprising Side Effects of Rising College Costs"). Another way is that college graduates put off having children because of them not being financially stable online universities recently did a survey on how many college students have children the results shows that debt, largely from college, was causing 20% of young adults to delay having children,even if they wanted them. Kids can be a little expensive , and college debt may mean that many young couples that are wanting to start family have to hold off on adding to their family until they can get loan debt under control.

As adolescents begin their senior year, the topic of college often runs without hindrance, often causing extreme stress. As the monetary value, as well as the time spent, begins to accumulate in their minds, students often find themselves bound at the wrists figuring out a way to balance as well as afford college living. In many cases, the upcoming graduates are unsure about their career path, almost enhancing their stress in choosing a school that would cater to their needs. It is almost then they begin to ponder whether or not University/college life is for them, which is could be an extremely advantageous shot in a, for example, high achieving family. Whilst college does allow for a plethora of doors to be opened, the lack of time, effort, and money can hinder one 's ability to properly choose a university. Though school can help with the stepping stones of life, they do not entirely ensure a proper future, therefore many may opt out of school; however, with the correct actions, they may turn out extremely successful, which may not have even happened without the release of the burden of school.

While many students will have to spend lots of money paying for college, I will be earning paychecks. I know that it will take some time before I earn paychecks large enough to pay for a house of my own, but I am confident that with hard work and patience I will be living independently sooner than I would if I attended college. In his article, “10 Rules for Going to College When Nobody Expected you to,” Joe Rodriquez actually said, “don’t worry too much about the high cost of college tuition”(12). On the contrary, the high cost of college tuition is something that everyone should worry about. It’s easy to say “don’t worry about it” when you are not the person who has to pay for something. There are news stories all of the time that talk about the enormous amount of students who have debt that they can’t pay because of the lack of jobs for college graduates. College tuitions costs have risen drastically over the past decades. Going to college is good idea for students who know the job they want requires a degree. If a student is unsure about their future career, then they should consider working for a while before they spend money on college

Many students have aspirations about attending the college of their dreams, but many people lack financial support and are not able to go because of high tuition payments, such as housing, and other college expenses. U.S. Student Loans Debt Statistics for 2017 indicate that “the cost of attending college is becoming a growing burden for a huge portion of Americans.” (Student Loan Hero). Students are left with the option of dropping and leaving school. Even after receiving some financial support, such as scholarships and grants, students have limited amount of money to pay off their expenses. At the start of their college career, students apply for the colleges they would like to go to, and many forget about the financial decision that is required to pay for college. “A 2010 study on more than 200,000 freshmen at four-year colleges, more students rated themselves as below average in emotional health than ever before. The financial stress of worrying about their college loans and whether they’ll find a job after college and the day to day stress of making decisions for themselves in all aspects of their lives.” (Allianz). Unfortunately, freshman students are the main group of college students that go through financial conflicts, leading to stress about how to pay for college. Some students choose to work their way through college. “Others decide they’d rather be making money working full time than pursuing a costly degree. Still others become discouraged at the prospect of incurring loan debt” (College View). According to Public Agenda, “Work is the top reason young adults give for not returning to college once they leave. More than a third (36 percent) of those who left school say that even if they had a grant that fully paid for tuition

Considering my situation, I'm the first person in my family to ever attend college and I will be in a lot debt because of it. Although, I believe in my dreams and passion of being

The most important problem for high school students and their parents when they think about college is how they will pay it. According Robin Wilson, a reporter for the Chronicle of Higher Education says “In fact, despite stories of a large number of students who face gargantuan debt, about a third of graduates leave college with no debt

As a junior in high school, I am already worrying about my potential college education in the future. College is daunting, especially for someone in a lower middle-class family, like myself. We barely have enough money to pay bills sometimes. As much as I would like to go to college and further my education, I do not believe that college is worth the cost.

After graduation, with some luck, a student gets a full time job and the bills start coming in. Usually a student moves to a new town for his job, and he has to buy or rent a house. There is one bill plus all the utilities that make up four or five more bills. I know a lot of people that go through college with the vehicle they acquired when they turned sixteen, given that the vehicle was new at the time it is somewhere around ten years old now. The vehicle will start requiring more maintenance and repairs, it may even become unreliable, so the owner has to buy another one. The extra maintenance and purchase of a new car, are several more bills. Not to mention, living expenses on top of all these new bills, and the student loan bill that will follow you around for the next fifteen years or longer depending on your career choice. The cost of a good education and interest rates are rising every year, but an employee’s wage level is stagnant. So, with all of these new bills, stagnant wage levels, and high interest rates it is not easy for a student to survive and continue to pay for an education twenty years down the

“There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time,” Malcolm X, and activist overcame adversity by learning from his defeat. Adversity affects our world today too. With our harsh rules and drive to be better, one must strive to succeed and overcome the hardships. While there are many qualities needed to overcome adversity, having faith, keeping composure, and receiving support are vital in order to overcome adversity.

Throughout my life I faced a lot of challenges. I had to overcome the obstacle that was on my way. The obstacle made me stronger and made me the person who I am right now a ambitious and hardworking student. The problem shaped me up because I know that I have to work for what I want and to not depend on no one, this made me more independent. Also, I learned from my mistake and try to do better.

Adversity and difficulties are an inherent part of life that everyone has to handle, but is it possible they actually help people reach their highest potential? Difficulties bring out the skills and strengths that otherwise would have never been accessed. Horace could not have been wiser when he said “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant,” and he could not have been wiser. There are many people who had an easy life or were born into their success who are remembered for greatness, but the stories of people who had to overcome challenges are always that ones that stay with us much more. Adversity is the only way humans can focus their skills and motivate themselves to become

Nearly 80% of teens are currently working 20 plus hours a week just to try and make a minimal living. Most teenagers that go to college end college in $30,000 in student loan debt. No wonder the idea of going to college after high school is becoming an unpopular idea for teenagers who are faced with thousands of dollars of debt after college and their only 21, and trying to make a living while trying to go to college is nearly impossible. Let alone trying to start a life while a life of debt is looming in college student’s futures. Most young people end up not being able to start their life’s because it is simply too expensive. Many students after college end up putting off living on their own, starting a family and end up

Student debt is at an all-time high. Many college students and recent graduates may find themselves asking: "what's the point?" Why go to college if there is no guarantee of a great job, but you are almost certainly guaranteed to graduate with high levels of debt? But take a careful look at the statistics. While the unemployment rate for recent four year college graduates is 6.8%, the unemployment rate for recent high school graduates is nearly 24% (Webley 2012). Of course, there are many other reasons to go to college, such as personal fulfillment. But for those who are considering not going to college because of economic concerns, I advise you to think in the 'long term.'

Everyone experiences adversity. Challenges that everyday people experience can potentially shape, improve, or destroy one's sense of self and personality. Through all these hardships and seemingly impenetrable obstacles, the most pertinent component of one's ability to overcome can only be shown in actions taken despite the odds. People have one of two options; to let those obstacles overwhelm them and keep them from pursuing all that they were destined to accomplish, or to march forward, fight harder and push past the seemingly impossible circumstances to become greater than they ever expected to be, but until they take the step that enables them to be successful -- they are stranded. All of our actions, mistakes, successes, and behaviors shape our person and what we can or cannot become, but what will always matter is our individual decisions and actions not those of the people around us because at the end of the day, we are the ones who have to deal with ourselves.
