Secondary school

education and a better career earlier this year. The first step in doing so was to apply and start college, so here I am at the end of my first semester and I am almost finished with English Composition. English was never my strongest subject, in high school I failed my 9th grade English class and college has proved to be no easier. I currently have all A’s in every class but this one, which I struggle to keep it at a B+ and it disappoints me because I know I can do better. I don’t understand…

The Progression and Assessment of Remedial Students in Community College School systems have been adjusting their developmental classes for years to maintain a beneficial program. The desire to aid remedial students in getting accepted and enrolling in some form of college has increased immensely since the programs were first developed. Although students who test for remedial classes are encouraged to take them, various studies have shown students who did not take the developmental courses may…

High School has prepared me for college and the next few steps in my life in many ways. For example, english, without english we wouldn 't be able to pass our exams such as the ACT and other required materials that are required when entering college. English is what helps us read and correct grammatical errors in our writings and as well as to use the proper wording in sentences such as your and you’re. English is one of the main essentials to having any job, without it you wouldn’t be able to…

The peak was so high up, but I was determined to climb it and retrieve the lost item, whether I survived or not. As I stood on the stairs with my cousins, all of us arguing about who would scale the gigantic feat. This I saw as a challenge and I accepted. Trials and challenges are viewed, by most, as obstacles that are in the way to slow us down. These may come in the form of people we meet or the things they say. The challenges and trials can also be events that happen or even the…

Although I may not consider myself a shy person, I was never the type to step out of my comfort zone. My freshman year of High School I had my mind set thinking that I was going to be the type of student who woke up for school, left, and then came back home once it was time to. I never thought I was ever going to join a sport/clubs, go to school games etc. In that moment it never seemed like my thing. Coming my Sophomore year the opportunity of joining a sport came along. At first I wanted to be…

things that led me to college; however college is not just a choice but the beginning of a lifelong journey that will secure my future. It was the last couple of months left and I couldn’t wait till I finished high school. Every morning that I would wake up to go to this stupid school was dreadful. I remember even almost giving up as it all seemed like too much for one to handle. The moment finally came and I graduated and I was overly ecstatic. I whispered to myself “What’s next”? College was…

intravenously. As I rested in a hospital recovery room, I realized my collapse on the field symbolized broader frustrations I felt playing college football. I was mentally and physically defeated. In South Dakota I was a dominant football player in high school, but at the Division I level my talent was less conspicuous. In my first three years, I was convinced that obsessively training my body to run faster and be stronger would earn me a starting…

I never really had anything to be dedicated to in my early life. I had a fairly easy time going through elementary and middle school. My goals had not been found and I had a lack of motivation to go out and experience my life. This changed when I witnessed true dedication in 2011. My mother wanted to become a chiropractor this meant she needed to go back to college. She entered a college near Chicago that she rather…

Majority of college students look up upon graduating, it’s an image in their head that they envision themselves walking in their caps and gowns all ready for the ceremony. Many graduate right away and get straight to the college level classes they need towards their future career, but many college students don’t get that option of starting right away, instead they have to take remedial courses. These courses help college students who are not at the college level yet develop their skills in order…
