The Benefits Of Coat Of Arms

    In discussions of Charles Murray, he expresses his opinion on the thoughts and feelings that are being transferred to students before college, claiming them to be misleading. Murray brings to light the problem that exists in the constant pushing of guidance counselors, teachers, and even politicians to aspire for a college degree no matter what, “treating every failure to go to college as an injustice” (Murray 48). Yet, by doing so, parents and students are often blindsided by the overwhelming cost of college that many cannot afford, or the sheer amount of education students would put themselves through for no reason at all. Murray observes that “one aspect of this phenomenon has been labeled misaligned ambitions, meaning that adolescents have career ambitions that are inconsistent with their educational plans” (Murray 48). Convincing students that college is the only guiding light to a better life forces students to see college as such, an intellectual heaven where they can become anything, such as a doctor or an attorney “without understanding the educational hurdles they must surmount to achieve their goal” (Murray 48-49). They then attend a four-year university with the depiction of college as a “place where B.A.s are handed out” fresh in their minds, thoughtless as to if that particular college they are attending even has the educational requirements needed to complete their career goals (Murray 49). Unfortunately, as Murray reminds us, this is the system that  is in place. For “a brutal fact

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

Many have experienced an encounter as a young child where they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. Answering that question may be easy as a kid because your mind is filled with thoughts of being the unimaginable. As you grow much older, those ideas begin to depart from the mind and you are suddenly more aware of what is and what is not possible in this world. When beginning the most important years of high school, you stop and rethink your career choice numerous times, stressing on who and what you want to be. Many adults such as teachers, counselors, and parents will emphasize the importance of knowing where you want to be in the future during high school, sometimes even middle school. It became imperative that one chose their

In the podcast This American Life “3 miles”, Chana Joffe-Walt claims that some high school students look and only focus on what stops them from achieving a bright future and only think negative about their future and don't see what they are capable of doing, while other high school students believe in themselves and want to go to college, but at the end of the day their future is not what they had planned, it is not until the students see the other side and their plans change. Some students can be as smart as they can and love school and want to go to college, and teachers may say they are going to college but at the end of the day they don't end up going to college, also as much as a person does not see themselves going to college neither does anyone they prove them wrong.

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.

We really don’t know if we will end up likely the career we choose to study for. Students spend so much time working towards a specific career that some of us will end up sticking with the unhappiness that we feel towards that career just because we spent so much time and money on that degree. It’s like buying a ticket for the wrong movie. Somehow you mix up the titles for a movie you want to see and one you don’t. If exchanging that wrong ticket isn’t an option, wouldn’t you rather sit through that movie and hope it entertains you rather than wasting the money by throwing that ticket away?

Deresiewicz points out that a statement most people feel compelled to ask students regarding their major is “What are you going to do with that?” (28) There is a strong pressure to get through college with excellent grades and to start at a high paying job right after graduation. Deresiewicz argues that “few of them approach their studies with a sense of intellectual mission” because they are focusing on volunteering and internships (30). The author is putting down students for being anxious about what society has already planned for them. How can someone not worry about a job if that is all that is talked about with them? From personal experience, most adults will start a conversation by asking where I want to go to college and what I want

College students are often worrying too much about becoming wealthy in the future rather than worrying about funding a career they love to perform in the future. Many students feel they need too have their entire life figured out and only take classes that will advance them. While these classes are important, taking elective classes are also necessary to experiance new things and open their minds.too In “College Pressures” by William Zinsser, Zinsser uses pathos to explain how students are stressing out about planning their futures.

On the other hand, students may think they are prepared, but have no idea of

As a senior in high school, questions regarding college and my plans for the years following graduation are asked to me on a day-to-day basis. College is definitely the most important thing I am focused on this year, and although a college degree is highly valued in the job field today, many argue that not everyone should attend college due to the fact that it brings a new level of responsibility that many cannot handle, many careers now do not require a four-year degree, and because students no longer have the desire to learn.

Everyone looks forward to their senior year, whether it’s to rule the school, or just to simply graduate. There are many changes that go along with a final year in high school. At every family gathering one is asked those loaded questions about where they want to go to school or what they want to be in five or ten years. Those questions are what some students dread being asked, especially those who have absolutely no idea what their plan is. Today’s society has made it the social norm for young people to know what they want to do, and have made it difficult to go to college not having already declared a major on an application. Often this request is unrealistic. For some students, going to college is not what he or she wants to do. Students

Some people grow up knowing exactly what they want to do; I, on the other hand, do not know exactly what career path I am going to take, but I have learned that is okay. I went through most of high school presuming that I had to have my life planned out by my senior year and I recently realized that was an unrealistic expectation to put on myself.

The qualities displayed in our group’s Coat of Arms are trust, empathy, and social justice, all of which are fundamental values in the field of nursing. These values are symbolized on the shield as two different colored leaning blocks, two overlapping circles, and a world that contains a red cross and three nurses respectively. Trust and empathy are both a component of the nurse-client relationship and they can shine light on a person’s well-being by promoting a warm and safe environment for the clients. Whereas social justice aims to promote one’s health by considering the client’s surroundings when delivering care. Finally, the last and simplest component of the shield is a banner that reads nursing, which ties

Generally, people know the career path they are on as they prepare to graduate college. Most of the time they are interested in their major and in the best case, they are truly passionate about their upcoming career. Kenny Ramirez was the perfect example of the best case until four months before graduating from UC Santa Cruz.

When I was a little girl my friends and I always talked about what we were going to be when we grew up. Some said a teacher; others said a nurse, secretary, and even a mom. I knew what I was going to be, but what we don't think about is how we get to be these things. We float through elementary school, having small children fun. Next we go to middle school trying to find our ways in the world, some of us worries about grades, and some don't. Not many thinking ahead of high school, let alone college. In high school we soon realize that grades are very important and better grades give you a better chance at better colleges. So those of us who want to go to college start cramping down on our studies so we can get those desirable grades. I may have not been the perfect student throughout high school. My Study habits could have been better, but one thing I do know is that I want to do more with my life than just a high school diploma.
