The Post-Secondary unit was probably the most helpful unit out of all my high school career. Even though I already had a basic plan for my future, I learned a lot of new, valuable information throughout this unit. I realized how different college is from high school because of the amount of time we spend in class and on homework. I’m excited for the shorter class times and the extended times for myself to study because I tend to learn more that way. Since I decided that I want to go into Pharmacy at STLCOP, I researched the admission requirements. The college requires an essay which I would have needed to start soon, but I know I would procrastinate until the last minute. This unit required me to write an essay for a college, therefore, it …show more content…
I want to get over with it and turn everything in on time. I already have a resume and essays complete, therefore, all I have to do during the summer is polish them up and hopefully add onto my resume. I have to start this process earlier especially if I plan on applying early decision to STLCOP. I also expect to be done taking the ACT by the time I start applying to colleges because I know I won’t be as motivated to sit through a long test through my senior year. I have to get at least a 23 on the ACT to apply to STLCOP, and I could probably score higher than that, If I actually study. If I don’t get accepted into STLCOP, my backup plan is to simply apply to another university and then transfer to STLCOP once I earn my bachelor’s degree. I had a couple of options for the universities I could apply to, but I wasn't quite sure which one would be the best fit for me. I made up my mind when we had to compare colleges as one of the assignments. Comparing the universities side by side was helpful in crossing out the options that were not favorable. I realized Webster would be the best choice for me if STLCOP didn’t work out, because of the small size and reasonable
The topic of this paper is the states’ decreasing financial support of higher education, the reaction and response from institutions who have lost funding, and the creative ways public institutions are locating additional streams of revenue. States have been the primary backer of public institutions, but since the recession states have shown less commitment financially while still heavily regulating higher education. As a result some institutions have had to change their practices while others have challenged their state’s regulations all together. Many have speculated that state funding may never return to its former highs. Rather than make an enemy of the state, some schools have discovered new and unconvential ways of raising funds for their institution.
Transferring to California State University, Sacramento was the most optimal decision that I have made recently this year and so far, it has been an enjoyable yet compelling one because of the helpful environment around me. Compared to the other two colleges I attended in the past in Stockton, California, I believe Sacramento State University has better resources and opportunities to grow as a student. Some of the resources I have utilized here are the Writing Center and PARC, but I plan to branch out and explore many others I have heard about. Although my major is Mechanical Engineering, I still have other classes that I am required to take in order graduate in Spring of 2020, such as English 109W for my undergraduate GWAR. Before entering English 109W, my mind was set on just completing the course and getting a good enough grade to move on to my Writing Intensive course, the last English class I would take in college. I thought that my writing skills were above
Pursuing a post-secondary education is very important because without that extra education you will not be able to get as good of a career as you would with a post-secondary education. With that extra education you have more opportunities of higher paying jobs and healthcare coverage. Also when students go to college they have a chance to listen to the Professors lecture on their personal field of study, so they know what they are talking about. With a college degree you are also open to more promotion opportunities. Also when you go into the college life it is a time where you get a big taste of the real world, you start to be independent, learn to save money and pay bills.
I plan to attend the University of Florida, and major in Biomedical Engineering. In eighth grade, I decided that in order to get a head start I would do dual enrollment in high school. I took my first two official college courses my sophomore year of high school. Through Florida Southwestern State College, I was able to enroll in French I and II, along with Psychology and Human Growth and Development. My junior year, I decided to be a full-time dual-enrolled student at Florida Gulf Coast University. I plan to earn my AA in May of 2018. I hope that by earning my AA in high school, I will be able to reduce both cost and time in achieving my degree. If possible, I plan to enroll in the summer term at the University of Florida as one of the

Kaplin & Lee (2014) describe the law in higher education as “pervasive and inescapable” (p.11) because it is integrated into every area of campus activities. Postsecondary intuitions must observe laws and regulations from external sources such as the federal, state, and local government as well as accrediting agencies and athletic associations. Along with external sources, it also must adhere to its own internal policies that are specific to its institution. Regulations can be overbearing because it leaves little room for error to be made, and if so could lead to legal disputes. But on the other hand, laws ensure accountability and ensure that issues within an institution are being addressed properly. An example of this is Dixon v. Alabama

People frequently say that everything from GPA to extracurricular activities counts starting in high school. Thus, many students tend to start planning for their future in their first year in high school. One of the major concerns of most high school students getting ready for college is a financial issue. Doing well on national exams such as the ACT can solve this problem with possible scholarships offered at colleges. Understanding the purpose and description of the ACT as well as the information about the tuition fee and the Pre-Pharmacy program at Oregon State University is important for me to get a head start on my future education.
I feel that the growing cost of education is a very important issue in our times. Having a post-secondary education has become so crucial in our society today in order to have workers in certain job fields. It is shown that people with a post-secondary education have a greater advantage than people with only a high school diploma or GED. Many people in our country today find the task of financing a post-secondary education so difficult that it even deters many from even seeking a post-secondary education. Post-secondary education provides our citizens with the knowledge and skills needed to do some of the most important jobs such as doctors, politicians, and businessmen. Most of these jobs would be nearly impossible to do effectively without
I have a struggle in my life that is keeping me from achieving my goals. This struggle has hindered me from moving forward further in my life towards success. My particular struggle was not having my high school diploma, and without a diploma I was not where I wanted to be in my life . Nevertheless, something so simple as not passing a math test has hindered me from receiving a high school diploma.From that point on I was not where I wanted to be and I worked as a security for about a year. Then I moved on to working as a bus driver for the Broward County School board for eight years . During that time , my first child had now graduated from high school and earned his diploma . My daughter is a honor student who has a good grade point average

When I registered in this course the first idea comes to my mind about the research method is how to do research as part of course of study whether for an undergraduate or post-graduate degree. But after this course I recognise there are many times I may need to do some basic research as part of a job or a voluntary role, whether it’s a simple survey to find out what customers think or a more advanced piece of research.
