Is High Education Worth the Price?

Does education provide us beneficial benefits for a successful life? In reality, it depends on you as a person based on what you are striving to learn or seek from college. Students who believe college provides good experience and are worthwhile to obtain their careers such as doctors anything that is required to progress it will be understandable. At a young age from 17 to 18 years old are required to go to college because it is expected they do so. Sadly, the majority of students beginning in college still do not know what they want to do with their lives. Why go to college and accept loans or pay debt on something you still need time to think about. Below will be provided a video where it explains more depth towards college. 



        While reading the articles it has proven to me that even if students graduate in college sometimes they may not seek what they've been waiting for. Graduate students working as a full time career job has given them challenges and upcoming circumstances of responsibility. One of the articles discusses an example of a regular day as a graduate student obtaining their career with hard work and excess hours staying in work. By the end of the day we can relate within our community where we go to errands such as shopping and waiting in a long line. The hunger, tiredness, and desire to be home is something that should be concerning because maybe the career doesn't mean something towards you. The freedom of choosing their own education and getting well-adjusted is important to be discussed. 


        Furthermore, making the realization that college is not providing to engage students to go to college. Students believe they need to go to college because it's a huge expectation and obligation to look good for the public and their families. But, what is actually the purpose of the students being there? Colleges need to provide excellent professors to guide them to success and passing well. Not easy lectures ,but as challenging and learning as possible. Watching the film discuss how professors are meeting up with students' needs as consumers on being “good professors” giving less work. Students' academic achievement should not stand on their own opinion ,but rather to prepare them for the future by letting them use their minds to be challenged. In fact the film stated that 44% fail to graduate in 6 years. There are probably so many distractions that are not important to include within the university such as pools, sport activities, art, and anything that is not an inconvenience that will help you in future life. The reason why students do not focus on their learning is because there is partying within the campus and it is allowed. 



     
        Sadly, even if the students graduated from college they will get their careers. There are people out there who do not have a career despite having a degree. Is college worth it? It all depends on the type of career and how the students are engaging in their own careers.

    Isabel,
    You give good food for thought about college, and about not rushing into to such a huge decision without a career goal in mind.

Have you ever made a decision that you believe could have altered your life path?

               While reading this section it comes to my realization that every choice we make can impact our future and can lead us to walk the path of good or evil. As I come from a religious background, a quote from the Bible stands out to me the most is, “Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.” This quote can be a reference to the other Wes Moore’s life because he couldn’t follow the path of goodness which caused him to live in a confinement prison for the rest of his life. It all started with a planned robbery at a jewelry store which led to the terrible death of an off-duty police officer. This could have been possibly prevented if Wes Moore didn’t follow the wrongdoings of the outside world.                In my own experience, I had a moment whe...

Are we products of our environment or products of our expectations?

We are products of our environment based on how our parents or guardians raise us to be good citizens in our world. The best way to raise a child is to have a supportive home and set up correct guidance or rules within the home in order for kids to understand the lack of consequences that may occur in the real world. Parents must be aware of their kids' well-being, health, and behavior during school or outside of school. One must remember our children's first role model and best teacher is their parents. Parents need to make sure they can provide as many helpful resources and right guidance in order for their children to proceed with something positive in their life. Let the children know they aren’t facing the challenges all on their own and make sure they are provided emotional support within their family. Expectations of others may help a child on making terrible mistakes in the future ,but at the same time must consider how much dedication a parent are dedicated to have tim...

What music played a special role in the other Wes Moore’s life? What role does music play in your life?

            Music plays a huge role for us in our everyday lives. Sometimes we can relate to our own choice of music which can possibly help us boost our confidence and energy to ourselves. This is what happened with the other Wes Moore’s life because his favorite music involved hip-hop and rap. In chapter 4, it discusses a situation where Wes was reliving in school. The time when Wes wasn’t doing his highest potential at school shown by his lowest academic grades. Teachers announced to Wes’ mother that his son had a learning disability, but in fact it wasn’t to my belief he was making the wrong choices which cost him his education. In reality. Wes’s mother knew that her son's low performance in school was purposely due to not putting the hard work and dedication on his studies. This causes Wes' mother to fall into deep depression, anger, and acceptance that her son Wes was no longer on the right path he was supposed to be on.    ...
