because I knew many students. I only remained at Lake Clifton for two years because that high school was closed down by the Board of Education; the buildings were very old. After this happened, my mother discussed Job Corps and my older brother Tyquan told me about his positive Job Corps experience. Months later my mother enrolled me in Woodland Job Corps to complete my education and become more disciplined. I was able to choose which career center to attend. I started Job Corps on April 12th,…
tuition rates ranging from at least $40,000 per semester, students have no choice but to take out loans. As some loans are abundant, these options have become widely accessible to pay off these costs. Sadly, these decisions have accumulated debts over a college student’s career.

Student athletes are working non-stop day in and day out to not only meet academic standards but to maintain their athletic scholarship. College athletes bring millions of dollars to universities, but in return, they only receive small monthly stipends for food. With every sporting event, each student-athlete gives their all not knowing if they will get seriously injured or not. Yes, they are students, however, they…
Student debt has been one of the biggest issues for many graduates. The federal government has proposed to decrease debt for those who will have graduated. Still, many stumble into piles of student debt. Not to mention that in the near future, these people will have a difficult time to afford the necessities to live the American dream. There is a limit now for people to expand education, who are willing to work hard. Due to the fact that the states across the border are not funding universities…

However, several cases and recent studies are showing that with proper training to instructors, enough federal funding and early advice from schools could have a positive impact on students with disabilities and society. In Allen’s essay she argues that colleges have gone too far to accommodate students with disabilities; however, the reality is completely different. The current…
