How are they going to pay for particular expenses by coming from a penniless family? Because of this you have athletes accepting illegal things such as money, cars and clothes. College athletes ever year bring in at least millions of dollars due to products and the games played. And the athletes that do can leave college and go pro they do because they are living in near poverty. College students should get paid because of all the income they bring in for their school while playing.
Strengths and Challenges Letter Dear Professor J. Campbell, I would like to take this time to share with you as my Professor my strengths and challenges so you will know something about this student. I have a couple of strengths and lots of challenges. I would like to keep it basic and right now my challenge is coming back to school. I don’t expect to be easy; as they always say” anything that comes easy to you, you never appreciate it”. I dropped out of school when I had my first child and I didn’t get my high school diploma until I had my 3th child.
“Colleges and the NCAA generate more than $10.8 billion per year off of athletics” and yet, student athletes do not get paid at all for their hard work. They put in a great amount of time, effort, and work into being a student athlete. Being a college athlete is exceptionally laborious and can be both mentally and physically exhausting. There’s far more that goes into being a collegiate athlete than most individuals realize. Many people just see these athletes as the average student that in addition, gets to do what they love as an extracurricular.
In today’s society professional sports and professional athletes make tremendous amounts of money due to us citizens. The money we pay to watch professional sports all goes to the teams, the money we spend on food when were at the games go to the teams. Since pro athletes make such a huge amount of money from our support cheering them on, shouldn’t pro teams and pro athletes pay subsidy taxes for social needs? I believe that professional sports and pro athletes should pay an amount of taxes for social needs. Professional athletes make millions of dollars every year and it isn’t fair for those out on the streets that don’t make money close to a pro athlete.
I just really hoped for the best, later down the road 2 months have passed, I was sitting in 7th period and then my teacher got a call telling me to head down to the guidance counselor called me down, we talked about the direction I was going, my GPA was right where it should be. She went on and told me that if I do not pass those tests, I will not graduate. And then she told me about Fresh Start Community Campus. She called the school in front of me, and spoke to someone. She continued to tell me that a woman at the front desk told her if I attend there, I wouldn’t need to pass or even take those tests over there, and they’re not required!
State Lottery Billions of dollars is gained from lottery ticket sales. Also half the money gained is used for state funding. Money schools need but can not receive, they can get from money gained in lottery ticket sales. Some states also have a program where money gain from lottery ticket sales will help send kids to college. Over 850,000 students have been sent to college through this program and about $3 billion has been spent since the program began in the 1990s.
There are many factors that contribute as to why students are in need for student loans and credit cards. One important factor is school. It's becoming expensive and in a recent study done by the College Board, it is stated that the escalating cost of school has risen its highest than in all the years since they started recording the cost of education. Because attending school isn't an option, a lot of students look toward student loans and opening credit cards to help pay off their tuition, books, and living expenses. An article on student loans on USNews.com states that, “Although the federal government will hand out billions of dollars more in college grants in 2011 and 2012 than ever before, the nation's financial aid programs as a whole are not keeping up with rising tuition, government officials and financial aid analysts say”.
When I first chose this debate, I thought that I knew what side I was going to take in the debate. I originally thought that retention was beneficial for students who fell below school standards but after doing research, I have changed my opinion and have to say that grade retention may be a short term fix for struggling students but I do not think retention is beneficial for students in the long run. Grade retention was a common procedure until the 1970’s, when schools started trying other methods to help students, who were struggling, move on to the next grade with their peers. Teachers usually recommend retention for one of three reasons: learning difficulties due to developmental immaturity; severe disruptive behavior due to emotional immaturity; or failure to pass standardized proficiency or achievement tests at the end of specific years. Poor attendance is another reason that students can be “held back”.
In the article “reforming school funding” by Kathy Koch, the author briefly portrays the experience of a student from a wealthy school, Lauren. As Lauren visits the poverty-stricken inner city school of Harper High School, Lauren states, “Those Harper students can learn all they want from a chemistry book, but unless they see the experiments done, they won't understand it.” Along with the question of funding of schools, the question of who is responsible for the under graduation of these students; comes in to play. So who is responsible for the failing of these students? The next issue of
The pursuit of new found personal goals lead to the University of Phoenix where I will garner the skills, contacts and confidence to succeed in my chosen career. Pursuit of a Graduate Degree My mother always said that I have a hard time doing things that my heart was not into and she was right! I have attempted to begin my graduate degree three times in the past four years. I would go so far as to register, pay my bill in cash and even purchase my books. Then something would happen that would make me change my mind and withdraw.
