College
College! Why is it such a big deal to go right in to collage! I understand,
however I just don't know what I want to do yet. I know I want to do
something that has to do with criminal justice. As in the FBI. I just think
that would be so cool. It would make me happy and I'll get paid O.K.
My plans were to graduate, then stay with my mom for a year and just work 2
jobs, maybe take a class at U.A.A. So, I can keep with the whole study thing.
Oh, and I would go into the Air Guard also. They really help with collage.
Then a friend and me would get an apartment and split the rent. I would then
go to U.A.A for 2 years and after that I would transfer to the University of
my Choice.
I got all of these ideas from my sister. I look up to my sister a lot. I
learn from her experiences. She never took her SAT's and she did really badly
in high school. But, when she went to U.A.A she got really good grades then
she transferred over to N.Y.U. It's the 3rd hardest college to get into for
her field! So, ya know if she can do it so can I.
My father on the other hand! He thinks I should go to Grays Harbor Community
College. And if I do, then I can live with him and he will pay for my BOOKS!
If you don't know, Grays Harbor is a really bad college, it is worse then
U.A.A. Even if I wanted to go, my mom wouldn't let me! I mean come on; he
will help me pay for my BOOKS that's a real help.
I remember one day I was in the truck with my dad and we were talking about
colleges and he said "you can't go to a good college like your sister, you
just cant. You're not like her. And, I'm sure as hell I'm not going to pay
that much!" I told him I don't expect him to pay for anything. My sister
went through college without her dad's help, so I can do it to. Every time I
try and talk to him about the university that I'm interested in or when I tell
him I want to be in the law or psychology field, he just changes the subject!
Hochschild concludes that the world must never forget the events of Leopold’s Congo. This event is evidence that it is the result of human greed that led to so much suffering, injustice, and corruption.
“You don't want to be like your parents!" triggers memories of the day I found my compelling reason to attend college. My grandfather is a very wise man who exhibits the meaning of sacrifice and hard work in my family. My first visit to the UOG admissions office with him was a dreadful experience. As I gazed at the cost of tuition yearly, I felt a sudden weight on my shoulders. For a moment I felt like a traveler lost in a foreign place trying to figure out where to go and how to get to my destination. I knew at that moment that I could not afford it unless I found a job to pay for the expenses or received some form of financial aid. As I requested a FASFA form and began filling out the application, my hand began to tremble and again I felt
Many policies on farm and agriculture has impacted the way food is grown in America. For example hedge funds, described in page 11 of Foodopoly have essentially driven the prices of land in America and worldwide. This has resulted in farmers having to either cut down costs and make due with lesser land, or be forced out of business. Along with pollution to environment, this policy along with many others results in the situation described in page 12, with lesser farmers working to supply the nation (from 6.8 million to under 1 million). Most often, farmers sell their products are low prices to pay off land that is priced higher...
According to writer and environmentalist Vandana Shiva, "the crucial characteristic of monocultures is that they do not merely displace alternatives, they destroy their own basis"(1993, p.50). If the self-destruction of a monoculture is really so simple, it seems that continuous cropping agriculture should long have been abandoned for a more suitable method. Unfortunately, the problem is far more complex. This paper will focus on the effects of corn monoculture on soils in general, the development of the monoculture in the United States and the effects this had on soil in this country. Through the exploration of other models, suggestions will then be made on how to modify the continuous cropping system in the United States into a more sustainable one.
what I wanted to become. So after graduation I decided to explore my options at
William Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew, has often been accused of being a farce and farce, for those of you who don’t know is a subgenre of comedy that chooses to entertain through the use of verbal humor both low-brow and witty, as well as improbable and exaggerated situations (“Farce.”). The male lead Petruccio openly declares to the audience; “Thus have I politically begun my reign, and ‘tis my hope to end successfully. My falcon now is sharp and passing empty, and till she stoop she must not be full-gorged, for then she never looks upon her lure...” his plan to train his wife Kate, the shrew of Padua, as if she were some sort of animal (4.1. 169-72). Petruccio’s success in wooing and taming Kate through the use of ludicrous and absurd techniques such as killing Kate’s shrewdness with kindness, word play, and public embarrassment are what lead the play to be considered a farce.
A college education. Many parents and even parents-to-be are bombarded with this goal, sometimes before their child is even born. How will they save? What is the best way to save? How much should they save? Magazines for new parents deal with this issue on a regular basis. Parents are warned in American Baby, "Start early...Eighteen years from now...a college education will cost close to $85,000 at a public university and just over $200,000 at a private institution." Parents are also advised to save around $115-284 a month from their child's birth. Another issue of American Baby suggests that parents "Start saving as soon as you can, and put money in regularly." These magazines work on the assumption that parents will be sending their children to college. It is just a given. Why is it just understood that we will be sending the next generation to college? What has changed so much since the days when only the wealthy (and male) went to college?
All of this would lead up to me graduating very successfully. Since I was so
to quit school without a high school diploma. He has such little time left in high school and there are so
In conclusion, Plato argued that comedy blends pain with pleasure and Shakespeare has blended these two elements in order to challenge the Elizabethan audience’s view of women. The Elizabethan audience would have been able to see this by the fact that Petruchio is not serious about the taming because he does not use physical violence against Katherina. However, modern audiences would view this very differently as Petruchio resorts to psychological torture, which affects Katherina much more. The play is clearly a comedy as the characters are one-dimensional and are mostly static, meaning that the play was designed to be unrealistic. However, there is a definite element of cruelty that runs throughout the play that is used in order to make both modern and Elizabethan audiences take notice in order to challenge society’s treatment of women.
The infamous nursing pioneer, Dorothea Elizabeth Orem, set the bar for nurses worldwide. She was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where she graduated from high school in 1931.

While directing at this particular school of nursing, Orem also taught biological sciences...
I’d like to recount a story to you. At the start of my senior year, when college was the only thing on my mind, and the only plans for future I had, I went on a class trip to tour the top two Public Oregon Universities. I hadn’t yet made my decision on which university I wanted to attend and this trip was meant to help people like me make that decision. We saw University of Oregon (U of O) and Oregon State University (OSU), and talked with many students whom attended both as well as having toured the campuses. I loved OSU, everything about it, I decided I wanted to go there. I had never been more exited for college in my life. When I got home from the trip I told my dad about the entire trip and how exciting it was, then I told him that I
Port Orchard students attend school with more than 3,000 students throughout southern Kitsap County. Overpopulated, South Kitsap High is more of a hassle than an educator. Many students have to travel up to thirty minutes to get there, and when they arrive,...
Schedules are a difficult thing to balance. A person must find the time to complete a number of tasks in a day. A normal adult may have time to get everything done and still have time to spare. The normal college student on the other hand is constantly on the go. College students have busy schedules that include working, studying, and socializing.
A new experience, a change from the norm, looking out for myself, and living on my own: for me this is college. The transition of high school student to college seemed immensely overwhelming and even a bit scary. The shift opened a can of worms and created challenges, both good and bad, behind every corner. Due to the change of scene, I am now dealing with the everyday acceptance of the greater world around me: the town, the people and my new life.
