Obstacles For College Students
Students often find themselves encountering certain obstacles when they pack up to leave campus in the spring. Everyone who has ever tried to stuff their apartment into trucks are bound to meet them. The obstacles include, but is not always limited to: the offloading of vast piles of books, clothes, and electronics; returning empty bottles to point of purchase. One ends up questioning your decisions about purchases. However, at some point, it all comes together and its time to head out to a new

    Pathways To College: A Case Study

    “Less than 17% of African-American and Latino students will finish high school and graduate from college.” (Landy, 2013) Less than 70% of students in Milwaukee graduate from high school. (Pathways PowerPoint, 2013) Only a little over 25% of the people in Wisconsin hold a four-year college degree. (O’Connell, 2014) This educational disparity leads to economic disparity which affects the entire state, not just the urban areas with a higher achievement gap since most jobs with an annual salary over $30,000 will require a four-year degree. (Winters, 2014) There is a program called Pathways to College that is working hard to change these shocking statistics. We are here tonight to show you that Pathways to College is a cause worthy of your and your organization’s time, talent, and treasure.…

    Low Income Students Barriers

    That compares their literacy knowledge to that of children who do not live in poverty. Understanding social class diversity enhances the learning of all students. And Class differences in child-rearing practices may sound alarming or oversimplified. Lower-class children are more likely to have unstable family situations. Their parents typically have low-wage jobs and are more frequently laid off, causing family stress and more arbitrary discipline. This paper explains how language and attitudes of low income families act as barriers to success in education. And what types of programs or interventions are most useful in overcoming those barriers.…

    Barriers To Black Student Success

    Institutional racism and social injustices have not only had lasting negative impact on Blacks but on our society as a whole. These injustices have intentionally or unintentionally provided additional barriers to retention and graduation for Black student success, in particular Black males. Most Black students enter college at a disadvantage being first-generation, low-income and/or under-prepared for the rigors of college. Black student success has been historically marginalized and considered unachievable on many university campuses throughout the US and as academic advisors we are tasked with increasing retention and increasing graduation rates for “all students”. Research has consistently shown black student’s success has been harder to…

    Personal Narrative: College Isn T For Everyone

    Whenever I hear the phrase "college isn't for everyone" my mind cringes at the thought of all the lazy people who walk amongst this earth. There are many things people deal with on an everyday basis that "aren't for everyone". Cancer isn't for everyone, losing a loved one isn't for everyone, and being put in situations, you don't ask to be put in certainly aren't for everyone. However, as human beings, we have to continue living our lives to the best of our ability. There are no excuses in the real world. There are no excuses to not have a decent education in order to make a living in our country. Some may not like the system but that's the way it works. If you have an education, more times than not you'll make enough money to get by. If you don't, you will be left with an underpaying job which usually involves hard work, and you will be the one petitioning for $15 an hour minimum wage. Education is important and sometimes a wake-up call is needed in order for people to realize this. I was one of…

    Community College Students: Case Study

    The goal of academia is to create an atmosphere that allows individuals to seek truth, discover knowledge, and stimulate an ongoing dialogue of inquiry that challenges the status quo (Kaplin & Lee, 2007). To support these ideas, faculty academic freedom, freedom of expression, and the student’s right to freedom of speech are protected by the Constitution’s First Amendment in public institutions. Understanding these concepts have significance for emerging effective community college leaders. The assigned scenario depicts a professor whose controversial book and perspectives of homosexuality not only upset the classroom but spilled out onto campus in the form of rallies and protests. This paper will explore the issues that administrators should consider when responding to incidents of academic freedom and speech for faculty and students.…

    Attending College: A Case Study

    Yes, I have had to overcome personal and family adversities in order to attend college. I was adopted in Nigeria by my uncle and I lived with him in Houston. I was physically, emotionally and mentally abused by him. While i was living with him, i was still an illegal immigrant and he constantly used my immigration status to threaten me.

    Limiting College Students

    My primary advice for students would be to ignore the admissions statistics on the standardized scores of enrolled students. Too often, prospective students limit their choices of colleges purely based on a numeric value. It is unfair, unjust, and unnecessary to sum up a student's life experiences, zealous passions, and unique personality to a score obtained from a dull, standardized, four-hour test. Too often students hold themselves to a numeric standard and base limit their applications to colleges that reflect their own scores. Universities admit human beings with personalities, interests and hobbies. Universities do not admit 2400 SAT or 36 ACT.…
