Dr. Nobles commented in the first week of our class that we as people needed to evaluate what we would be willing to give up in order to sustain the life we have. That’s what sustainability is. It is defined as “capable of being maintained” but to me it seems better defined as giving up unimportant conveniences to maintain what is truly best for the well-being of not only one’s self, but also the greater good of the
The TRIO program has done a lot for me, but the greatest thing it has done for me was encouraging me to pursue a career. TRIO has continuously supported my efforts of becoming a better person by showing me that an education for a low-income Hispanic, was not impossible. The TRIO program introduced me to informational workshops such as financial aid workshops and provided university campus tours. The TRIO program has continuously showed me that you do not have to be rich to get an education. One of the biggest concerns is that they encourage students to apply for financial aid.

I guess you can say her role in life is to be happy, live comfortably financially and do everything she can to make her family comfortable and happy. When it came to asking my boss Kevin, his response I found to be quite shocking. He said his expectations and strategies for managing a family were completely what he expected. He went to college, he has a great job, he comes home, still does some work and in that extra time, he will spend time with his kids and his wife. Between the two responses, I don’t really see a difference in their answers.
This era was looked at more as a lifestyle rather than just another decade or time period in American history. This was the point that America finally had some peace and was ready to start enjoying it. With America at a better financial standpoint and the war veterans back at home, it was time to make families, enjoy them, and start to build a better society with a whole new culture to introduce where people didn’t need to worry so much about money and could enjoy their lives. With the return of the veterans love was in the air which gave way to the beginning of a new era: the baby boomers.

Why High School Graduates Should Take a Year Off Before Going to College I believe that after graduating high school it is helpful in many ways to take a year off before you decide to enter college. Nothing is better for a person than to be able to live a year with a fresh and open mind for what they want to do for the rest of their life. This is a year to be able to consider all the options, find stability in their life and with their financials, and they would be way more motivated to go back to school or even have better luck getting into a school. A year to be able to consider all the options in life could be very useful for indecisive people. If you are not positive on exactly what you want to do in life yet a year is more than enough to research jobs.
It also demonstrates that you have the will to finish what is started and always seeking personal enhancement, completing the task at hand. College graduates make more money in the long run, so it pays to get an education.

It will open a variety of opportunities once my life in the military comes to an end and I transfer to civilian life. Having a college degree will give my family security in the future so I can keep providing them the life they deserve.
