Not everyone belongs in college, I agree, but it does have its benefits. I believe college is absolutely not a waste of money and time. It is expensive, but it returns so much more…

Being the first person in the history of my family to pursue a college degree, it took a lot of research and autodidacticism to learn the process of getting into college. The fact that my mother only made it to 5th grade and my father to 2nd grade, pursuing a bachelor’s degree was never something my parents envisioned me to accomplish. I was never raised with meeting educational expectations because they weren’t ever set in the first place. It wasn’t something I envisioned for myself either,…

Growing up my family was poor, but my parents ensured that my siblings and I always had what we needed, and continuously supported us as we grew and tried to follow our dreams. Although neither of my parents obtained a college degree, they understood that education was important and constantly encouraged us to take an interest in our school work. When I was six years old my mother married my stepfather, who adopted me and raised me as if I were his daughter. I was excited to finally have what I…

Therefore, the result of this small study may not be relevant for adjunct professors, community professors, or professors who are just starting this career. Also, in this sample, all of them experienced traveling abroad, thus this results may not apply for professors who did not traveled abroad.…

A quote attributed to Mother Teresa says “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples”, this statement speaks to my passion for pursuing a counseling doctoral degree. My goal is to change the stigma both externally and internally in the mental health profession. As it takes only one stone to make multiple ripples to create a beautiful change in a body of water, I plan to be another stone for change in the mental health community. Just as a…

At Davidson, I want a deeper understanding of economic phenomena and training in rigorous reasoning skills to be able to study social policy issues. I want to explore the many research opportunities available at Davidson college. One of the projects done recently “A Theoretical Analysis of Behaviour with Reciprocity and Fairness Concerns”, excited me as, presumably, it assumes human behaviour in the Rawlsian sense as opposed to in the Hobbesian self-interested sense. Along with my economics…

Accordingly, the findings were that in order for students to be successful in their degrees they need to have dedicated time to put forth into their studies. They would also require strong persistence within themselves to aid them through completion. In order for a student to be successful they should pick a program that they have researched. They should educate themselves of the demands that the selected field will require. Tinto V. (1993) (p.231) wrote that an important reason why there is…
