I could not help but wonder if I had helped these girls truly be the best players they could be or if their hopes would be crushed by embarrassment on the field and a large margin of defeat. Before the game, I took them to the end zone for a quick pep talk to remind them of the time and hard work they had given to this team. We broke out of the huddle and the game began. We scored on our first possession and never looked back from that point. The girls were executing every play to perfection.
In the bad economy of today, tuition rate are increasing constantly. It is difficult for students to find colleges who have tuition rates for full time student under $5,000 per semester. Since UTA uses flat rate, full time students have to pay $4439 per semester which include using every facilities available and 12 to 30 credit hours (“Description of Tuition, Fees and Charges”).This way student who are taking more classes can save a lot of money than student who are taking less classes. UTA also meets the demand for graduate students. The graduation rate shows successful completion of college and gives an idea about quality of the program provided by college.
Leong’s piece is saying that athletes aren’t only to blame, with good points like the amount of pressure we, the public, the fans have put on them. Fry strongly shows his view, it is pointless and a waste of time trying to fix this problem and current way the government and drug commission are going about it and a waste of money. The image also shows this as well as a more in-depth view of the stupidity of what is going on in court
I believe Stimach’s essay followed the criteria of a successful argument by persuading me with strong details throughout the entirety of the argument. I think this argument would be a useful teaching tool to put in the textbook, Writing Arguments, because the author backed up her claims with reliable sources and responded to opposing views. Her argument was organized and she gave three specific reasons why students shouldn’t get married in college. Quality Sources One reason this is a good argument is that Stimach uses multiple pieces of factual evidence to support her claims. She moves from one topic to another with ease using facts from other sources frequently.
Kelsi Trumbo EN102 English Composition II Karen Lawler Course Project- Final Draft November 3, 2013 College Cost The cost of college has been a really huge pain and struggle for myself and other college students that I know. The cost of college is so outrageous if you did not earn full ride tuition in high school due to being a good athlete or having superior grades. I was an average student in high school and earned A’s, B’s, and some C’s here and there. I was not a superior student who earned a 4.0 average, or who was in the “Top 20” of my graduating class. Since I have started college I have been dealing with the struggle of how much Financial Aid I was going to receive and then dealing with the stress of having to take out student
Is School Sports Really Killing Academics? Do you really think school sports are killing the athletics academic? Research says that the United States spends more tax dollars per high school athlete than a math student. The U.S. studies show that most students spend more time playing sports than anything else. So many say that’s the reason that the United States lacks behind in academics than many other countries, but on the other hand it also states that high school sponsored sports increase academic success.
“More than 1,700 college students in the U.S. are killed each year—about 4.65 a day—as a result of alcohol-related injuries” (The Marin Institute). With a number as high as this, lowering the drinking age would only increase this ongoing problem of underage drinking. It has even been proven by the Marin Institute to be the leading cause of death among teenagers. Many adults feel as if the 18 to 21 age groups cannot handle drinking responsibly, then they should not be permitted to use it. Alcohol is a very serious depressant and one of the leading problems for death (Hanson, 2007).
Philip Garrigan Professor Ruddick College Writing II April 6, 2012 Corruption in Collegiate Athletics Nowadays, the term “student-athlete” is highly skeptical. Recent discussions and incidents have once again sparked the age old controversy of whether or not collegiate athletes should be paid or compensated for their services to their universities’ sports programs. This question asks whether or not these athletes are being fairly treated for their services, or if they are somehow being scammed out of the billion dollar industry that is now the NCAA. The debate must take into account the benefits that colleges and the NCAA reap from these athletes, and in turn what risks and rewards these athletes endure for these athletic programs. Whether most people will admit it or not, the dynamics and integrity of collegiate sports are slowly changing into a commercial entertainment based organization, majorly focused on the incentive of revenue.
Stress the Monster that plagues the unsuspecting College Student EGN 115 May 26, 2014 Suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst college students enrolled in four year institutions in the United States, Sonya Weisburd, the senior manager for Active Minds states that this statistic exists particularly because; our society tells students that ‘college is the best time of your life,’ while in reality, college life is significantly more complicated. The stress of college definitely contributes to increased rates of psychiatric distress. Stress is a normal factor of life but not all stress is good for you. The average college student has to juggle a fulltime course load, work, extracurricular activities, and social activities; though it is considered normal to experience stress with the combination of all these activities it should not be a way of life. Stress is defined by the National Health Ministries as being simply the body's non-specific response to any demand made on it.
However, in the past two years, the application rate of Asian students began falling. And the phrase “Asian students discrimination” appeared. “‘You at least need to get 1800 of your SAT scores, or you even don’t have the chance to go abroad, I was told everyday before I came to American college”, Clara Pang, a DePauw University freshman Chinese international student said. The high application rate and higher SAT scores requirement made Chinese applicants stressed and nervous. This situation of unfair admission rate happened not only on the students from Asia, but also on the Asian Americans.
