If I told you that that one in every eleven people in the U.S. were high school dropouts, would you believe me? The surprising thing about this is that the percentage of high school dropouts has dropped by three in the last ten years. That's still too many teens becoming failures. The sad thing about this is that in Utah, you must be eighteen or older to dropout. So why are people still dropping out if the age is so high? Do they even try, or do they simply just fail until they are old enough to

Theology class allows me to have conversations about social issues that I don’t discuss in other classes. After discussing the male archetypes, masculinity, and Plato and Himes’ works, I think I’ve become close to becoming a “True Man.” A True Man is based on the characteristics of Jesus Christ. He is one who loves God the way God loves him-that is, unconditionally. He defends his beliefs until he has no strength left. He listens to others to free himself from ignorance. I’m encouraged to become

Perseverance is a mandatory quality to possess. As a matter of fact, perseverance is a blend of spirit and determination. This skill instills motivation and drive into the hearts of others. One does not require special talents or great knowledge to be a vessel in which this quality can be observed. In her essay, First Job, Illiana Roman illustrates a life filled with hard work and perseverance through anecdotes, word choice, and sentence structure. Roman began by revealing that she dropped out

As singer-songwriter, Lana Del Rey, once said, “When someone else’s happiness is your happiness, that is love.” Love and happiness are two qualities that people seek in life; they are correlating factors in people’s lives, like mine, for example. In other words, these two qualities are part of the circle of life and many believe that having the two factors in their life will lead to a good life. Like many others, I seek for love and happiness as well, but at the same time, I am already experiencing

Kahlil Gibran was born in Lebanon which subjugated to Ottoman dominion. The people of Mount Lebanon had struggled to gain independence from the Ottoman rule. The Mount Lebanon area was a troubled region, due to foreign interferences. Since childhood he enjoyed solitude in the natural surroundings of the cascading falls and the rugged cliffs, this had symbolic influence to his paintings and writings.

In the United States, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school every year. This is about one student every 26 seconds or 7,000 students a day.

These challenges could be avoided if students are required to graduate and receive their diploma. Students should be required to stay in school until the age of 18 to protect their well-being, ensure

I found it shocking in discovering that about 7,000 students dropped out of school everyday. Not only that but the fact that their personal lives and society play a huge role in their decisions, which schools tend to ignore. Another thing that I found interesting about the video was the prevention

To elaborate further, the game makes use of multiple techniques to emphasize this bond and how crucial it is to the narrative. Perhaps one of the clearest examples of this occurs in how the story is focalized. Focalization is the specific point of view of the narrator and ties in their knowledge of the characters and events: “It refers specifically to the lens through which we see characters and events in the narrative” (Abbott 73). At first, the game appears to have a third-person narrator who is
