Ah, college. A time when young adults venture into the unknown in search for a higher education. For many, it is their first time on their own since birth and they are trying to discover their true passions. The search of finding the perfect college can be grueling.

Freshman 101 is a class adapted from the parrot program (Fay & Medway, 2006, p. 226). The parrot program was designed for college students at Cornell University.

I do not understand why we would control who could attend a community college in the first place. The community college is a resource that serves communities and the four-year university system in many different ways, from continuing education to general education classes community colleges cater to the needs of every student to a degree.

College is often times a barrier enough for students, but to begin limiting it to certain groups
College can be very helpful in more ways than just giving people more head knowledge. I do not disagree that people will benefit from learning a trade skill. In my personal opinion I think we should teach the basics of some trade skills in high school, and let the student decide if a college education is something they want to pursue.

Coming to college can do a lot to help anyone, but for the students that are coming right out of high school, college can be a safe place for them to experience the real world.

As I watch multitude of videos, some were self explanatory and easy to understand and some did not make any sense. The more I thought on the subject the more I realized that there must be a way to understand J. Collinse’s concepts if not fully at least partially. Once I started reading the book about ten or so pages in the process it all his ideas started to flood in and make a gigantic impression. It would be sacrilegious not to mention at least 80% of his videos but since assignment calls for 2 I chose the ideas that were the most impactful.

As a young girl, I had dreams of being an artist, a veterinarian, a chef, a gymnast, and even an actress; however, the idea of being an interpreter never struck me as intriguing until my sophomore year of high school. Once the idea was implanted in my brain, I knew that I wanted to major in Spanish.

I have high hopes of attending the University of Saint Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota next fall in pursuit of a double major in International Business and Spanish. I then hope to earn a master’s degree in

Every person is good in a activity in school. For me is sports and the sports I am good at is baseball and basketball.I haven't played in none of the teams because of my grades but when next year comes, sports it's going to be one of my priorities in school.
