Go to College?

These three articles discuss if it important to attend college or not. The one article talks about how a degree is becoming less and less valuable because everyone is getting them. It also says that a college degree is not necessary. I agree with this because it depends what kind of future someone is looking for. For me I have to attend college because for my future I want to become a teacher. In order to become a teacher you have to have a degree and have all the hands on experience. However my mother didnt attend college and she has a very sucessful job. She works at a job that I would think she would have to have a degree in. She works to exceptional adults and helps then learn basic skills that we use everyday. It really depends on the indivdual person but I would not say that not going to college and getting a degree is a bad thing. I think that society views people with an college degree higher but that does not mean they are superior to those without degrees.

Home in Unseen

It is sad that so many students in this school are doing poorly in their education. The boy was going through rough times to accomplish the things that he did. He was an extremely hard worker but in the end he was not satisfied with his outcomes. I believe school is a huge part of growing up. This is where you think about your future and decide if you want to attend college or just get a job. If a student is doing poorly in school now the likelyhood of them attending or looking in to college is very slim. It is the teachers responsibility to help the students be sucessful and offer them help when they are struggling.

Hunger for memory

After reading this story I was surprised. If someone grows up speaking another language they should not just forget about it. They should keep it in the back of their head and when they are at home or around family memebers speak it. They should not have to change how they grow up.
