The High Cost of Education

Education and the cost of college is constantly a hot topic in politics. Recently, the college students participated in "Occupy Wallstreet", where they camped out until their protests were met about forgiving student loans. This is just one event that was sparked by the high costs of college education. A main problem our country is currently facing is the fact that it is so expensive to get a college degree, yet many graduates remain jobless when they finish. Government officials have toyed with different policies on how to alleviate this problem, as well as creating standards that hold universities accountable for preparing students for the work force. I think these standards are necessary to ensure all students "get what they pay for" when it comes to a college degree.


I will be attending college in the fall, and cost is a big concern to me and my family. I have been applying for numerous scholarships and I am hopeful that I will get a sufficient amount of money to alleviate some of the financial burden of college expenses. I have also applied to FAFSA, so hopefully all this will be enough for me to pay for my college without having to take out too many student loans.

Hire Me, Please!

In an interview, I would say that my strengths are positivity and achiever. Positivity is a strength of mine because I am always looking for the best in situations. I am an achiever because I always want to go above and beyond to complete all of the my tasks in order to present my proudest work. My weaknesses are that I am a perfectionist because I always want to give my best and I can get stressed out easily when I have a lot of different tasks to do. 

I can overcome being a perfectionist by just learning when good is enough. I can overcome my stress by praying when I feel bogged down, and just reassure myself that everything will be okay. When it comes to my strengths, I can accentuate them by always having a smile on my face and being sure to always set my goals high.

I have applied for a job that I didn't get. The Children's Courtyard didn't hire me because I haven't graduated from high school yet, but they said they would have in a heart beat if I had a diploma. With this being said, I hope that means that my first impression was good!
