In my essay , “The Student Fear Factor’’, Rebecca Cox , the student that relates to me is Melanie because in the article she explains that she was a full time student in college and attended in a community college .

These DIBELS screening assessments were developed to help educators identify struggling, at-risk readers, so that appropriate types and levels of support can be implemented within the school system. They were designed to support efforts at the primary grade levels (K-6th) to prevent reading struggles as the learn progress through the school system. Furthermore, this test was to aid in the elimination in remediation lessons inside of the classroom.
When entering college, there are many things to consider. Having to make such important life decisions can be very overwhelming for a high school senior. Not only are teenagers expected to make a decision on where they are going to potentially be spending the next four years, but they are also deciding who and how that is going to look like. In the article “A college education should include rooming with a stranger,” Ann Altman uses emotional diction to persuade readers to consider what their living conditions will be like their first year of college.
Fear is a feeling created in a response to a perceived danger. Fear can produce pleasure, heighten awareness, be in the form of phobia, a fear of the unknown and an instinctual response to danger.
Fear can be an influence on someone's descent into a bad situation. In the play The Crucible the Puritan town of Salem is under suspicion of witchcraft. When a group of girls is discovered dancing in the forest, their leader (Abigail) tries to cover it up by accusing people in the town of witchcraft. All the accusations of witchcraft result in many different events, including the arrival of Judge Danforth and Reverend Hale. If anyone were to be under suspicion they would be tried for a confession that they dealt with witchcraft, and if they didn’t confess they would be hanged. The characters in the play are conflicted with different types of fear that change their personality and causes them to act differently. Fear influences people to take extreme measures and act irrationally.
During the college application season, there is a reason why schools hate parents contacting admissions staff instead of students. This same reason can explain why colleges hate reading the same “I-went-to-a-third-world-country-and-was-changed” essay in applications over and over again. “How I Got into College”, a radio segment which aired in 2013 as part of This American Life, shared both the mistakes that teenagers often make while applying to college and how one man’s life was changed for the better as a result of his personal outlook and the way he shares his own life story. On the road to success, those who are the most fortunate are the ones who are both wary and honest about the way in which they present themselves, as a lot
Arriving on campus was surreal. The buildings were huge and people were walking around every where: families and other young men around my age. I had never been more nervous in my life. Standing there on campus I knew that I had no other option but to succeed. This was a major blessing and opportunity. Going to college just wasn't something everybody did or could do. I needed to make the most of this. Standing there in front of the school I promised myself that I would do my very best to make my mother
While in high school, she wanted to the University of Iowa for business. She didn’t because she’d have to move out of the house when she could go to one closer. Before college, she was afraid because she thought it would be too hard. But, to her surprise it was just like high school. Also, entering a school where she knew nobody was also a scare.

Before I started at UCO, I completed courses at both Oklahoma City Community College and OSU-OKC. My very first semester of college was at OCCC where I was straight out of high school. I finished high school online, so starting over and going to class was a learning curve for me. I was very anxious and shy starting out. I remember the first day of class, it was Intro to Psychology, and before going into class I cried in my car for twenty minutes because I was so nervous. I thought college would be an extension of high school and that I didn’t want to go through again. Once I talked myself into going to class, the first hour I did not remember. However, I quickly realized that college is nothing

Fear. As I walked into the huge, unfamiliar building of Gibson Southern High School on my first day of freshmen year, I shook with terror. New teachers, new people, new classes, and a new environment that I yearned to explore, but anxiety filled my body. I had previously attended Haubstadt Community School, where I finally felt comfortable and now everything seemed frightening and different. Although my body told me not to, I forced myself to push through the day with a positive attitude. After all, this would be my home for the next four years.
Hopper Hall was the most magical places to live during my first year of college. As I arrived on the first day, there were amazing people on every floor and the excitement of meeting each and every one was in the air. Finally, I was away from my family and living on my own in my own little apartment. This must be the life, I thought as I laid in my twin wooded bed with pink polka dot covers that first night. However, the next morning I woke up scared out of my mind. I cried as I called my grandmother. Hearing her soft voice calmed my fears in that moment. College life was really happening and I didn’t have a

The transition from high school to college is a dynamic time in one’s life that parallels the change from childhood to adulthood. Both of these changes are dramatic and, as a result, feelings are difficult to put down into words. A messy combination of emotions fills the heart, surfacing in strange ways. Confident high school seniors go right back to the bottom of the chain when entering college as freshmen. These students start all over, just like entering grade school or high school for the first time. The move up from high school to college signals the switch from dependence to self-sufficiency. From a personal point of view, going through the experience of graduating high school and transferring to a residential college campus at STLCOP, made me realize I was no longer a kid and capable of making my own decisions.
It was pouring rain and I was walking with my friends we were soaked in rain and had another mile to walk. Out of nowhere a car approached us. A middle aged man began to roll down his window and offered us a ride. Immediately one of my friends said yes and began to walk to his car. I feared for my friend’s life because all my life I grew up knowing the possibilities of what could happen if you went into a strangers car. Immediately I pulled my friend out and said we could walk. The fear of getting into a strangers car led me to help my friend and it possibly saved her life. Fear is the most effective way to motivate behavior.
