Capitan Mark Kelly Ever since I was a young girl I have always had great dreams and high expectations for myself. Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material. Though I did work really hard in my classes, I was still at best average. During my junior year I took my SAT’s, and cried when I got my scores back. For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
More than 600,000 freshmen at US colleges this year have been enrolled in at least one remedial course (Cloud). , it still severely complicates things. What if students do not have the money to pay for the classes? Banning state money would mean no scholarship money or financial aid, know, it could be a crucial factor to a student’s success. Taking away these courses
My First Day in the United States I was 18 year old, and just graduated from high school. I was ready for University, but I fail the exam to get in the University which I wanted. I felt very sad because this could affect my life in future. In Vietnam, you could not get a good job if you did not have a University degree. On the other hand, I had a better chance than other people.
At one point in time in my life one of my teachers told me that I would never graduate or attend college and that I would most likely be knocked up before my junior year. But like Catherine I used that as fuel and proved everyone wrong. Not only did I graduate from high school but I am currently attending college. I am also happily engaged to the man of my dreams, no kids yet but definitely considered when we are both ready. I was definitely moved by this play, enough so I want to go and rent the movie and watch it with my fiancé.
La’Shay Willis 1020 ENG Mohan 9/3/14 Non-Drivers Safety There is absolutely too much violence going on in Cleveland, it has got to stop. Every other morning I have to get ready for school. Unfortunately, I have to walk and don't have a cell phone. The walk from my house to school is a ten to fifteen minute walk. For a college student like me who’s trying to something with her life, should not be scared to walk to school.
He's so dreamy! I wish my mom would buy me that, but we don't ever have any money to spend on that kind of stuff!” my friend said this, “Well, you could always DOWNLOAD it off of the internet for free!” (she told me how to do it) after I got off the phone with her I couldn't wait to download my first batch of songs but, it didn't stop there. Growing up in my life has never been easy, we CONSTANTLY run out of Nutella, my curfew is only 8:30pm On school nights, and I have to take the trash out EVERY NIGHT. With that in mind, I thought swapping music online would give other repressed children an opportunity to see some positivity In their cruel lives. I thought it was the right thing to do.” Given the consequences Brianna LaHara faces, I believe the “Clean State Program” is a very reasonable program.
I’m totally stuck for the rest of the year , knowing my luck I might get an even worse time table next year. Let us begin with our Monday morning, 98 percent of students start at 11am, but that 2 percent category start at 9am, which of course relates to my time table. I cant believe how unlucky I am, that’s not all, I don’t get to go home until five O clock everday. If I could I would chase down the person that created my timetable and assassinate him like a hit-man. I have the longest days ever with college, lessons at the most awkward times, that leaves me with a 3 hour break everyday at college with nothing to do I prefer attending college the whole day,rather then going home and back to college, jumping up and down like a frog, staying put at college just makes my life the slightest easier.
I knew that wouldn’t be the case anymore because I now lived in Dayton. The first school that I attended in Dayton Ohio was Trotwood-Maddison High School. It looked like a big college from the outside witch was intimidating to me. On my first day of school, I was very nervous, because I didn’t know anyone. Walking the halls, not knowing where to go was very frustrating.
If I would invest the time needed to organize I would have received a better grade. English has never been my forte in high school; I failed one whole semester because I was infected with senioritis. My mentality was that I didn’t HAVE to do anything because graduation was just around the corner, but boy was I wrong. This set of mentality pushed me back in my senior year and it prohibited me from enjoying my last year as my friends were living it up at all the parties while I was home finishing up my online class as a result of my failure. Online classes required self determination and a lot time.
College Obstacles During my senior year of high school, it never crossed my mind that at the age of twenty-six I would be going back to college. Of course, I didn't plan on life happening, either. My dream, like most high school students, was to graduate, go to college, get a decent job, then find that perfect someone and start a family. I've been able to check most of that off my list. Going back to college has been a challenge for me.
