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...

Is Pop Culture Good For You?

Let's begin to ask our audience if pop culture is good for us. Well it is definitely because pop culture is an idea that we create in movies, memes, viral videos that show awareness, short films, and in music that captivate us the audience where we can relate in a sense of humor and common interest. Pop culture is important in society because it takes us into a place where people can bring happiness to the world by making us dream and smile. Able to connect with the world positively despite the real occurrences that are happening in the real world such as dividing our differences in politics, religion, social issues, cultural values and beliefs. We need to cherish pop culture because it can eliminate the negative impacts on issues that have been created within our society. Where we can put a common ground to have a sense of laughter and joy in order to set aside the seriousness that actually divides us as humans.  Such as in the music industry can be related to ...

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...
