So much so that as a child he runs away from a foster home and encounters a white police officer and does not know if the police officer is going to hurt him or not. All African Americans in the Jim Crow South are constantly living in fear just as Wright is. Wright has very few school years that he actually finishes due to the fact they constantly have to move around to stay safe and for Wright and his mother to find enough work to survive. Wright faces extreme racism at every job he works also. When he is younger, he helps out whites around their houses for pay and he seems to be treated the same way he would have been treated if he were their slave.
The Blind Side Michael Oher is a seventeen year old guy that was basically all alone; he was just all by himself because his mother was a drug addict who left him and his other brothers when they were little. He was living with one of his family members but it didn’t seem enough so the family members he was living with decided to try to get Michael into Wingate Christian School. But it all worked out actually thanks to Coach Burt’s persuasiveness to let him in because he knew Michael could be a great part of the football program they had at school. Things were really odd and strange to Michael when he had his first day at Wingate Christian School because he hadn’t been at school for so long and because he didn’t knew what students and teachers were discussing

Why Students Drop out of College As a college freshman, a lot of information discussed in the article is relevant to me and my peers around me. In the article, “Why Students Drop out of College” by Diane Fisher, the author writes about many issues that college students face like poor studying habits, high school transition into college, social life on campus and many more. As a result, I do agree with Fisher’s reasoning as to why students drop out of college. Many topics discussed in the article are definitely out and about on college campuses. When first arriving to college, students don’t have the mandatory push that parents and teachers used to give.

Millions of people were thrown out of their jobs, and were left with no other options. Schools began to close; families were left homeless, wandering the streets. The elderly suffered because they had no money to live on. While Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) rushed to create more jobs, he also began to back an idea that would give aid to poor children and other dependent people (2). In FDR’s State of the Union address, he included that he planned on creating an old-age insurance program, federal unemployment and benefits for dependent people and poor single mothers with

The mandatory age to drop out of high school is 18. After conducting many researches I strongly believe that this should remain the same. Although many students believe that they are not achieving anything from school and may feel it is a waste of time. Still not an excuse to drop out all dropping out do is make your life harder. At age 16 my aunty dropped out of high school and her life has been a living hell ever since.

These problems can make it hard for international students to focus on their school when they are missing their friends and family. For students at the college, most can go home on the weekend or fly home for every break when they are home sick, but for international students, if they miss home or if there is a family emergency, most cannot just leave and fly home, or if they do it takes a long time to get there.

Also, living in another country is expensive because you have to start over with everything like buying new furniture, maybe a car, clothes, and other things
