Starting Tuesday January 17, 2017 – TODAY - all students must park in the upper student parking lot. This includes late arrival and early dismissal students. We are having to do this because students have taken over the front lot and our visitors do not have anywhere to park. If you are parked in the front parking lot today, talk to Officer Pearson as soon as you can.
However, many don’t want to drop out from their studies; they want a better education and better jobs that will pay them well. Not to have to work in a job that pays them low wages and to top it off still have to pay the loan they applied for to stay in college. It’s an everyday struggle young people go through every year just to stay in college to get their education. In the book On the Frontier of Adulthood Frank F. Furstenberg state that “More youth are extending education, living at home longer, and moving haltingly, or stopping altogether, along the stepping stones of adulthood.” Young people not reaching their adulthood, and still living at home to pursue, there dream of going to college.
The Waking and Richard Cory are two poems in different times, places and settings but still similar in many ways. Both these poems have themes of wealth, beauty and the meaning of life.

My name is Austin Gansert. I am a high school student at Woodbridge High School in Irvine, CA. I am writing you today to talk about a very controversial topic: the legal drinking age. I believe that there are many benefits to having a lower drinking age of 18, rather than the current drinking age of 21. There are many benefits to having a lowered drinking age, which I will explain in this letter.
In modern day society, dropping out of any school whether it be college or high school is frowned upon. From a young age, most children are told by parents, teachers and mentors that if they drop out of school they will go nowhere in life. Most students do not drop out of elementary or middle school, but as they progress into high school and college some of them will decide that furthering their education is not for them. In Alex Kern’s blog post Don’t Drop Out, he makes several good arguments for leaving school, but he shows that he is strongly in favor of school and graduating by talking about how each field of study has worth, school pushing an individual out of his/her comfort zone is a good thing and how good students do not need to teach
Some people drop out of high school because they want to help their families, but when those people grow up and try to get a better job, they will get rejected. This is because it is required to have a high school diploma or a college degree to get certain jobs. Also, according to Missy Remiss, “Those without a high school diploma have lower earnings, higher unemployment, lower job satisfaction-they even have a higher likelihood of ending up in jail or on public assistance.” To conclude, students need to stay in school until they are
Every year an average of 1.2 million children dropout of high school; moreover, precisely 25% of high school freshman never graduate. As of right now, students in the United States are not required to graduate high school. Students should be required to get a high school diploma or GED for three different reasons: a diploma is required to get a good job; during adolescence, people are extremely immature and do not think about their futures; and a high school diploma or GED ensures that everyone has acquired a certain level of knowledge. To start off, children should be required to get a high school diploma because it plays a crucial role in getting a good job.
Today alone 7,000 high school students have dropped out. That’s 1 student dropping out every 26 seconds adding up to 1.2 million dropouts in the U.S. this year. 38% of those students say it’s because of their poor grades. These people can become homeless and have a much more difficult life than most of us can imagine. Even if they are lucky enough to secure a job it will usually have a much lower pay than a graduate.
Students should not drop out of college because college is the way to get their careers so they will have more job opportunities. If they stay in college, they will have more stability in the future since they will have more money. They should stay in college so they can be prepared for the future. College gives you something to rely on since it will help you not struggle as much to get a career, without a college degree you will be struggling the first years when you move out of your house. Preparing for the future will show them how to become more independent.
It is different than just looking at the micro level because the reasons for the dropout rate do not just apply to one person or family, but a larger audience. One reason for the high college dropout rate could be high schools are not preparing students properly. At the high school level, students are not treated the same as they are in college. The course work can be easier, teachers do not give their students as much freedom, and there are much longer hours in class. All of these aspects sound good for the high school level, however, they can be the polar opposites of how students are treated in college.
Due to becoming pregnant during adolescence, teen mothers are very likely to drop out of school because of their low ambitions and dedication to getting an education. “About 38% of female teens who have a child before the age of 18 complete their high school education (Cause and Effect of Teen Pregnancy). This means that a very high percentage of teen mothers will not even go on to graduate from high school let alone pursue post-secondary education. Which is almost necessary to survive in today’s society. This means these young girls do not have full qualifications for proper jobs in the future, which leads to having a job with very low wages or even worse,
By the end of my speech, 212 underprivileged children around the world would be clenching their stomach and wobbling from garbage dumps to garbage dumps, searching for half- eaten food. 5 children in India would leave school to work in a dilapidated undergarment factory for 14 straight hours, enduring whipping, and pain just for 3 bowls of rice. 3 children in Africa would be dead after being beheaded by heartless invaders. The power to change this situation lies with every one of you present today. Basic necessity such as food, basic education, security are few of many things that underprivileged children lack.
Brave New World is hundred years to the future; human life forms have been almost completely ruled by the Controllers (government). The novel is set off with an expedition, which starts in the labtory, (examining the process of creation and conditioning). The first chapter establishes the tone of dehumanization life towards the civilization. The past of natural process (birth, sexual relationship, and growing) has been a sign of hatred in this society, making this the new future “reproductive technology.” Furthermore, the people forgets about the past and believes “History is bunk" (Pg 34), using this excuse of the past to bring better advancement technology to their world.
Imagine that you have just graduated high school. You are more full of life, enthusiasm, and energy than you have ever been. Your four years of hard work have finally paid off, and now it is time for the next step. According to your parents, teachers, and just about every other authority figure in your life, college is that step. However, what if that did not have to be so?
