Students Responsibility
Before the students start attending college they have to understand that college isn't for everyone. In many major colleges the students could be droped out. One of the ways they could be droped out is if they happen to fail all too many courses in a semester.

In the memoir called Unafraid of the Dark by Rosemary Bary. Rosemary who was attending Yale university and was very proud of it, had failed three out of four of the classes that she was taking. According to the Yale university rules three failures result in a automatic drop out. She should have been drop out, but she was saved by her dean who was very wise man and made a deal with 2 of her professors who failed her. He asked the professors to give her a passing grade if she turns in a 6 page report to both of them. She was very happy and excited about the secound chance the dean has give her.

She had no excuse of failing the classes, because she had a lot of time, she wasn't bothered by anyone, and didn't have nothing else to do, except work as a part-time baby sitter. She couldn't have blame anyone, but herself, not even her professors.

In her secound semester she became more focused, organized, and hard working , as a result she managed to raise her GPA very high and was heading on the right track.

Rosemary is just one example of a student who realized how serious a university could be. I am sure that there are many university students who face the same kind of challenges. In the first week of the first semester the student have to realize that they have to be worried more about their academic problems and problems that they face in life. If they don't take their life seriously they wouldn't live a productive

    Oshkosh Research Paper

    She worked really hard in all of her classes, but especially her nursing classes because she knew that the reward would pay off. Studying every time she could, she thought that she would have a chance at getting into the program. All of her hard work paid off and her GPA was really good, but most likely not good enough to get into Oshkosh’s nursing program the first semester she applied. She now faced a new problem; trying to figure out the next step in her college career. Many advisors had always told her to think of a plan B, but she never thought about it in the depth that people had wanted her to- she didn’t think that a plan B was even in the future. Although Oshkosh is a great school, there are other schools that would be a good fit as well. These schools have good programs that are easier to get into and she could go right when she applied. Another problem for Jensen was that her general education classes were complete so it wouldn’t make sense to stay at Oshkosh for another semester and take filler classes, as that would be a waste of time and money. Jensen knew what the next step would be and was feeling confident about it. She would go to a different school if Oshkosh didn’t accept her on the first…

    During her first year, she struggled with the grief of losing her grandfather who had passed away during the middle of the school year. She says, with pain taking residence in her voice that the “ passing of my grandpa during my freshman year of college was an absolute defining moment” in her life. She was just figuring out who she was as a person, and finding out that her grandfather was passing away was extremely difficult for her to get through. Even though she has known that her grandfather had been sick for a long while now, it was still a shock to her that he was actually gone. Julie forlornly stated that in that moment in made her realize that things change, and her life was changing, regardless if she was ready for it or not. She explained how she was “no longer was a child or naive teenager, protected from the realities of the adult world”, she needed to realize that what she was experiencing adult matters that she was not used to. It made Julie re-evaluate her place in life and what was really important to her. Julie grew up a lot from this experience and still continues to learn from it…

    College can shape people. It’s helps them to find out who they are and test their limits, creativity and learning opportunities. That's what happened to me after having my diploma in 2011. I never thought that I would be majoring in Graphic designer. That challenges me deeply and helps me to discover myself because the art wasn’t my dream and wasn't my strength. So, why people think about dropping out? According to Alex Kern’s in his essay “Don’t Drop Out Why There’s Still Value in College”, he argument about this problem. I agree with him because they may lose the opportunity to discover themself and it’s maybe the best thing that will happen to them. I agree with him about surround your self with community, college helps to push your limits and impotent lesson comes from expiries.…

    My mother never went to college. Despite—or perhaps [because] of—her lack of collegiate experience, she was a powerful influence on my ever-present desire for academic distinction. For her children, anything besides “extraordinary” was simply not an option. The constant pressure meshed painfully well with America’s flawed education system, which—not unlike my well-intentioned mother—continually creates an unhealthy environment of apathy in the face of competition. For the duration of my traditional education, I made intense efforts for a false, unfulfilling concept of academic success. I sacrificed my emotional well-being again and again for fleeting validation from any surrounding adults, in a desperate lifelong attempt to prove my worth…

    This reminds me of the time my good friend's older cousin was staying over my friends house. Unfortunately my friend's cousin, Max, was very stressed and doing poorly in his community college back at his home town. Max eventually decided he had enough and dropped out of the classes. His parents told him they couldn't keep supporting him as they have been so they told him to stay with his cousin, my friend, over in Weston. This past experience of mine is an accurate portrayal of what The Dropout Rate of Community College Is Problematic was referring to. Within the text the point is made that of how many people who enter community college are unprepared and as such, face large amounts of stress when faced with the workload that colleges assign.…

    When Deborah failed English 101 for the fourth time and yelled out how it wasn’t fair that she failed for the fourth time she was playing a victim and is blind to the fact that she was the one to create the outcome of that test and that she didn’t take the extra time out of her “busy” life to go to study groups nor take the time out of her day to look at her grammar. It’s a logical explanation to the reason she failed and she doesn’t see it as hers and blames her teachers for the grade.
