My role in the Society Life is just full of surprises that no one knows what will happen as time goes by. Growing up, there are just times where unexpected things tend appear. Being able to have nothing and or nowhere to run and ask for help is a very crucial experience in life which happen to my family. However, through this experience we learned and become stronger. To tell the truth, at first I wasn’t sure what to do in life after high school. But then again, learning what is happening around my surrounding as stated to the functional perspective, society is like a living organism with its various parts working together for the good of the whole (pg.16) really help me realize and opened my eyes that I want to make a difference. And in order for me to make a difference I need to have the knowledge to what I can do to help others. And this is why I decided to go to college. Based on conflict perspective, it focuses on power and the allocation of valued resources in society (pg.17) which have really helped me a lot on going to college. Having the access to resources have shaped my decision about going to college by giving me the courage that wherever people came from or whatever status they have doesn’t matter. I know the fact that my father doesn’t make that money, but through the help of financial aid resources have helped me a lot and nothing cannot stop me from going to college. And this is why I am very thankful through the help of financial aid and scholarship
However, in the college, her insecurities once again came forth when she was facing difficulties with her papers and language. Hope arrived soon in the form of Dr. Fulford who helped her achieve progress in the language. Finally, she achieved her Ph.D. degree. She went to study on the people struggling with generational poverty yet gained success by way of education. She based her study on two factors: the personal, incidental, and institutional experiences of students who belonged to poverty’s third generation and achieved their bachelor degrees.
Andrew Simmons published his article for The Atlantic, “The Danger of Telling Poor Kids that College is the Key to Social Mobility” on January 16, 2014, which raises his concerns that higher education is only being promoted as an opportunity to increase their economic status, when it should be an opportunity to experience an education (Simmons). Through the use of students such as Isabella, Simmons disagrees with the way students now look at higher education and blames the educators through the students’ lives for this view. Instead, Simmons views education as an intellectual opportunity rather than a way to elevate ones economic class which is all people see when they see “higher education.” He believes that education, ambition and work ethic is how you have a satisfying life, not with how much you make. He makes the point that when economics becomes the main goal of education it’s all children begin to think about and they might not pursue something that they are truly passionate about or what they want to learn about, which then does not create an intellectually awakening experience (Simmons).
There are many personal satisfactions in live, but getting a college degree must feel really good for a person that has work hard days and nights to achieve that goal. Personal growth that brings to obtain a degree, a dream come true. There are many examples of what student’s sacrifice to obtain this goal like a person who works extra shifts to pay its education, or as a mother at the end of every day after taking care of her family, it’s time for her to do her assignments. And a worker that after a long day of hard work, goes to its evening classes. There are some many students doing this type of
As I grew older, it was impossible to notice that my world was imperfect. In elementary school, all my parent’s problems here hidden; I didn’t understand my family’s economic status. As I grew older and began to ask my parents question about our lifestyle and compared it to the other people around us. This conversation would always end in the same place; because we can't afford it. My high school is composed of economically unstable families, and economically stable families. Seeing that other families were better off than mine, I grew up with the idea that a comfortable life, is a luxurious life. I know that others around
A fire rose within to burn social economic barriers that imprisoned me from achieving an education. As a member of a low-income household, I continually witnessed my parents struggling to pay for utilities, rent, and groceries. Although we received government assistance, it never seemed to be enough. My father worked long hours at a dairy factory to provide for our family, but his addiction to alcohol took most of his income. My mother depended on government assistance due to her chronic asthma and arthritis. Not being able to rely on my parents for stability, my six older siblings were forced to drop out of high school to become providers of their own.
In the article MOTIVATING FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND COLLEGE COMPLETION by TANJULA PETTY, Ed. D: Alabama State University tells us that many student tells us that needs to be social and belong .They want to feel that they belong to this society and help them in their needs. Which will give a positive message to these student that they are part of this society. And even family should start supporting these student rather than going against them “The families of these students don't support them which causes low self-esteem in them. And student begin to feel uncomfortable. (Hsiao, 1992). It tells us that these student need society to help them in education cycle. The reason is that these students’ families don't support them in their struggle for
Everyone has a different story and background, but we all hold similar aspirations for the future. We can either let our background draw us into an inescapable black hole or use it to thrive over any obstacle. For many minority students as myself, the shot at college is the only chance we truly get to overcome our situations. It’s true that not everyone needs a college education to succeed, but the truth is not everyone has the resources to make something of themselves without the valuable education which a renowned institution like the University of Illinois has to offer. I come from a low-income family which had their share of struggles from an early age, which impacted our lives greatly. My decision on what major I possibly might be interested in pursuing might not have been directly linked with my family history, but the overall aspiration of attending college has. At the age of eight I faced the sad reality that I would be left without a father figure. My dad would be incarcerated for the next seven years for dealing drugs and at the end of his sentence he would be deported back to Mexico. This incident left a heartbroken family and a mother to fend for four kids all by herself. This overall incident was a wake-up call to better myself and not let myself be defined by the mistakes, which my father committed. I saw the struggles, which my mother had to endure.My mother is one of the most
Parents believe their kids are too young and immature to make a decision by them selves, therefore they pressure their kids into attending college believing it is the best thing for them. The author does not agree with these actions and thinks that students should decide for themselves whether or not they want to continue their education. If students feel that college is not for them, they should not stay there just because somebody expects them to. Furthermore, she states that if everyone got a higher education everybody would be on the same intellectual level, and there would be no difference in people.
The authors introduce the idea that, college will not be an equal opportunity or necessary for everyone, by evaluating the pros and cons or college, using phraseology to convey the adversity of choosing higher education, and utilize a persuasive tone, drawing readers into the message of the essay. Education must be personalized to produce the most success for each individual. In the essay the authors present the contrast of tuition cost rising faster than family incomes to emphasize that students should carefully consider their options for higher education before committing a considerable amount of time and money to a degree that could potentially be worthless (Owen & Sawhill, 2013, p. 212). Owen and Sawhill reveal that choosing
As the narrator starts his life in college as he has many situations that he is forced to deal with that will shape his journey to his self-discovery. The time his spend in college he is able to look back on the philosophy of the college is inessential to become who he is in the future.
This essay discusses whether if the student or the parent should pay for college. When a teenager decides to go to college they believe that their parent will pay for their education. Statistics show that 60% of students will have their parents pay for their education and 30% of students pay for school themselves. Students have sued their parents for college tuition, some have lost the case and some have won their cases, but why should these students get free tuition money out of their parents? Parents don’t want their kids to go into life with debt thus they pay for their college when they have the money or atleast help pay for their students tuition.

“There always will be a victorious side and a defeated side, despite that we move forward to envisage the future; No one has been prosperous without surmounting hindrance on the pathway of triumph.” The above philosophy has played a significant role in shaping of my objectives and framing of my future plans since I encountered copious problems during my childhood. Despite the inadequate financial support and the transient family situation, I successfully continued my study since I was awarded several scholarships and tuition fee waiver due to extraordinary result throughout high school period. I achieved highest GPA 5.0/5.0 in the Higher School
Archivists play an important role within society. Historically, archives were centered on the preservation of materials (Vassilakaki & Moniarou-Papaconstantinou, (2017). As the centuries passed, the role of the archivist expanded the schooling necessary to work as an archivist became more complex, and the field of archival science developed into what it is today. In the scope of library professions, the number of archivists is still quite small. As of April 2015, there were approximately 166,200 librarians working in the United States, as of that May, only 5,460 of these were archivists (Eastwood, 2017). This indicates that the profession is still developing. According to Jenkinson (1922), the author of the Manual of Archive
