Traveling is something I do everyday, even if it’s the regular route to school and the same running route each and every day. It’s the same old, same old, each and everyday, and I want to go somewhere else. Get out of my boring town, in boring old Michigan, where nothing exciting happens. Except for the occasional football game. This town is run down and full of dull and depressing people. Only one year left in this town, but I still have the summer to run and to travel. The two things I love to do.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of young people apply to university hoping to secure a place to study their chosen subject. The application process is long and when the results finally arrive so many futures seem to hinge on the content of a single, brown envelope. Soon, this will be my future. My friend's futures. My classmate's futures. Many of us will be excited as we pack up and start the next chapter of our lives. But what about those of us who simply did not make the cut? The number of students falling into this category is unsettlingly high, with over a quarter of applications through UCAS being rejected every year.

Why would we not do the same for our minds? There are many sayings and clichés out there about why we should continue learning. These sayings aren’t in vein, without knowledge we are doomed to make mistakes of the past or miss out on new opportunities’. Knowledge gives us the confidence to step out of our comfort zone and try new ideas; it also helps us not make the same mistakes of previous people. We grow and try to perfect our crafts so we are adaptable, forward focused employees.

Every day, the gaps between institutions grow in the higher education hierarchy system. Over half of all the endowment money in higher education is used for about two percent of students, while the colleges housing the other 98 percent are watering down their education to accommodate their lack of funds (Maguire and Butler). This problem of inequality, along with the issue of lack of diversity at elite institutions, has to improve. In order to reform the higher education system, the changes must be initiated at the beginning of the cycle, in K-12 education. Following this, new programs should be implemented in all higher education institutions, including those of liberal arts, in order to improve curriculum, cost, and diversity. Ultimately, it should be understood that college students choose which institution to attend based on preference; therefore, numerous options should be available. With some small improvements made at both high schools and colleges, the problems found within the higher education system will soon dissolve.

Kathryn Douglas’ article was an inspiration for my post this week. Her expression of freedom in the classroom is inspiring.
