I have made many friends including Cadet/Private Sommermeyer and Cadet/Private Tatum. These many friends extend beyond the JROTC classroom and will no doubt be there when I most need them to be. Another thing ROTC is good for is community service hours. My counselor has already given me a community service worksheet to fill out whenever I do something and she says it will help me get into a much better college and will also look good on my Job/college application. JROTC also inspires me to work hard in school and out of school.
My dad & mom were in JROTC and the said it would be good for me to be in. They said that I will grow a understanding of the military and they said it was fun to be a part of something a little bit bigger than just going to school. In JROTC I made a many friends and I have some type of plan for my future in life. There are some benefits for joining JROTC. There are many reasons I like taking it.
The first reason is because a lot of people want a job that will pay very good money. By going to college, you will have the hands-on learning education you need to start your chosen career. This is a huge reason why a lot of careers require you to have at least a two or four year degree. Another reason why college matters is because it helps students boost their confidence level out in the real world. There are countless things that people have to do every single day in life so going college will help give you a better idea of what the definition of life really is.
So there are so many benefits to putting in the extra mile and achieving the goal of a college degree and in return, living the American dream. When you have a Master’s, Bachelor’s, or even an Associate’s degree, you are opening the playing field up to achieving success in a field of work that you will be happy to wake up to on a daily basis. The blood, sweat and tears that goes into your college degree is well worth what you put into it. The material you learn sets you up for a path to success. It’s so important to try your hardest in college because it says a lot about you, your future and the goals you are trying to proclaim.
An advantage I had if I chose the professor I had already took, I knew his teaching styles and how he graded. Although I knew if I chose a different professor, I would have to adjust to new teaching styles. Before I made a decision I had to do some research and ask around the campus for opinions. The professor I have first taken my second semester in college was Mr. Hammontree. He was very outgoing and care very much about his students.
The Achievement Gap: Urban vs. Suburban Schools The public school systems goal in the United States is to provide every child with equal education. Unfortunately somewhere along the lines the education system in our country has failed to provide this equal education to many of our children, especially minority. It isn’t that the education is not there, but many other things such as urban parents, teachers, and the urban society itself affect a child’s education. When looking at the mandatory test scores of minority inner city students, specifically African American students, they are significantly lower than White American suburban students, hence the achievement gap.
I chose Lackawanna College because I felt that the programs offered here would help as a starting point towards achieving my goal to further my education, and to eventually transfer to another college after getting a degree in Human Services at Lackawanna College. I felt that this college would fit my needs, to transfer as many of my credits as possible, to another college to get a Bachelor's Degree. Another advantage, to choosing Lackawanna College, is that the classes I am interested in are offered here. It is also close to my home since I only live just down the street. Both of these reasons help to make my going to college that much more convenient.
Title When it comes to the topic of liberal arts, most of us would readily agree that liberal arts is a tough subject to deal with at college institutions, but it serves as an purpose to help us later in the future. Higher education may not be everyone’s option in life but its open for all people of all ages, whether students are in a classroom or not and if there communicating with professors face to face; it’s an experience that will later benefit people. On the topic of liberal arts, Charles Murray author of “Are Too Many People Going College” states, “K-8 are the right years to teach the core knowledge, and the effort should get off to running start in elementary school.” Murray apparently assumes that children memorizing skills are better equipped than adults are, and younger children enjoy the learning process opposed to high school and college students, who will lose interest in taking these courses that involves liberal arts.
They had enjoyed their experience and wanted to do more for the shelter. Not only is community service fun and rewarding, it also looks great on a resume or college application. Sometimes community service is even required for high school graduation. Last year in my life skills class my teacher often talked about community service and making a difference. One of papers we had to write was about if we thought requiring students at a university to complete 75 hours of community service was a good idea.
A person with a college education could take a good job, and will often find better ones throughout life. When out of work, a college educated person will get any job more quickly than someone without college degree. Besides that, a person would go to college and study a specific area that they can go directly into. Also, if a person goes to college he/she would choose the better career by the money that is offered, if a person wanted more money, they will just choose a higher paying career path. If a person has a lot of knowledge and a good enough education, jobs will call them.
