...Do you think that the electoral college should be abolished or is it a good idea. The electoral college is a good thing because it gives everyone the right to vote and it helps to elect the president of the United States. I am going to use document A which is the electoral votes and the states that have the most votes. Then I will use document C which talks about the way the electoral college is and how it helps pick the leader for the United States. Then use document E which is how the electoral college should not be a thing and how it takes so long to figure out the president or who it will be as the next leader. Then last document F talks about how the electoral college and how the electoral college is unfair to smaller states. So the states that are bigger like california that has 55 electoral votes is unfair because is you take a state like wyoming that has 3 votes then they have less say. The two...

...of each semester based on the grades that you earned. You receive a good GPA by keeping good grades because a GPA is based off of how good your grades are, or how bad they are. The highest GPA you can get is a 4.0 and the lowest is a 0. You actually can get higher than a 4.0 but that’s really hard to get because you have to have extra credit in all of your classes. The highest GPA is a 4.0 but sometimes it can be higher depending on what school you go to. The lowest your GPA can be is a 0, which is really bad, and means that you absolutely no work. If you do no work or anything...

... Introduction: Kids in U.S. are taught to believe the process: good at high school, then a good college, then a good job, career, which is the American dream Main idea 1: The tuition of college is so high but there is no pay back and no job guarantee Main idea 2: The United State government is making a college bubble that student can borrow money so easy to pay tuition. However, make the tuition even higher. Main idea 3: Students can not pay the loan which led to bad debt and endanger all holders of U.S. dollars. Main idea 4: College is worthless. It does not provide a higher opportunity or higher quality job. Students pay their tuition for nothing. Main idea 5: Few students in college will study how to grow or manufacture which make U.S. dollar worthless with no gold backup and manufacture bases. * Summary American are believe in the process that if someone enter a good college, it will led him/her to a good job, which led to be able to car and house and have a wonderful family. This is the American dream, but it is not true. The truth is the skyrocket tuition they pay does not reward them equally, and even can not get a job. The notion that no company will hire themselves if they do not have a degree from the college makes people believe they need a college degree, and with the money borrowed from the government easily, everyone are going to the college. However, it is actually a college bubble that is made by the United State government. In result, the...

...Why do colleges rely heavily on the S.A.T & A.C.T. scores? The SAT is essentially a reasoning test used to evaluate potential college students in an unbiased way. The SAT, unlike high school academic tests, is not a place to demonstrate accumulated knowledge, and high school alone does not prepare a student for a good score on the SAT. The SAT is neither an IQ test nor a measure of academic potential. Higher scores on the SAT significantly increase a student’s college options, learning about and preparing to take the SAT is an extremely important part of the college process. Some students have a high g.p.a. but can be bad test takers regardless if they study or not. We all know that many college admissions offices imbue SAT and ACT scores with importance. At schools that are deluged with tens of thousands of applications, numbers matter, so these scores can play an outsized role in admission decisions. That means these scores can affect where individual students get to go to school. Through my High School experience, teachers told me the SAT would determine a lot of my potential in life. Having been told this, I still feel the ways that it has affected me, and I still remember all of the years it took to undo the feeling of having a test define the rest of your life. Having to apply for fee waivers and the worry related to not scoring "high enough." because of this experience, I didn’t apply to the schools I didn’t think would accept me (based on my grade), and I didn’t...

...should go to college. For some people, college is the best thing that ever happens to them. These people are those who do not mind going to school. If one hates school, college will most likely not be a positive experience for them. College is just like anything else if you dread it, it will not be a positive experience. More so, those who do not enjoy going to school may not graduate. This would be an extreme waste of money for some people. Starting college but not getting a degree is like lighting your money on fire. There is no point in paying for college if one’s desired career does not require a college degree. If someone...

...send kids to college. Over 850,000 students have been sent to college through this program and about $3 billion has been spent since the program began in the 1990s. The lottery supports schools and state programs. The program is good because it also helps kids pay for college because not everyone can pay for college. It's also good half the money spent on the lottery goes to helping the community. The lottery is worth it because you can win money, but if you do not you are still giving money to the state which helps with schools. Although you are playing the lottery, there is a big chance you will not win. “The odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 175 million” (Worth). Also the money is not always used for schools. “Some of the money is spent on other city projects” (Worth). “People have a problem with grasping that the odds of winning are 1 in 175 million” (Wasserstein). The problem is that you...

...I-Search University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UABP) Keyana Mapp Mrs. Rayford AP Literature 16 November 2011 THE RESEARCH QUESTION College is very important to me and I know I am not the first in my family to go but I am probably the most excited to go. I have look at so many colleges and I have to narrow down my choices. After having three colleges on my list, I have narrowed it down to one, and I decided to narrow it down to The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. I want to attend the University Of Arkansas at Pine Bluff because, a visitor from the college comes to visit Normandy and I was ecstatic by his presentation. After the presentation, I knew that the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff was the college for me. I have always wanted to attend a HBCU (historically black college or university). I plan to visit the campus during my winter break to get the feel of the college and see how the atmosphere was. Before I decide to go see the college, I am going to do my research on it and get a background check to be sure. From the research, I do on the college. I hope it is interesting because I am so anxious to choose the college I am going to and start my life on my own. MY RESEARCH PROCESS I started my research process by going straight to the online website because I believed that would have the most information. I also talked to one of the admission officers (Whimper C., Personal Communication RE: Information on UABP, E-mail to the author, 1 Oct 2011) who visited Normandy...

...SAT Good or Bad for College Aptitude? During our lifetime from starting off at preschool to kindergarten to years later on finally making your way to high school and even going off to college to find the right career path that you choose. But many start to feel as if what is the point of the SAT, like sure it helps show your ability to figure out problems and makes it even easier to go to college. But in my opinion i find that making high schools students take the SAT’s is pointless only because it takes time and a lot of frustrating studying, another reason that students shouldn't take the SAT because it makes it very hard to get a high score on it and lowers the self esteem of the students and makes them question their intelligence....

...Does one ever think about how much uneaten food is thrown away in a dumpster every day? In “On Dumpster Diving” by Lars Eighner, Eighner talks about college students and how they waste food by not knowing is something will spoil while they are on break, not caring because it was not their money or just because they are wasteful. College students may say this is not true. Whether it is fall, spring, summer, or winter, at some point all college students get a break and are able to come home for a week or two. Do they pack up all of their stuff or do they leave it there? What about all of their food? Eighner states, “Students throw food away around the breaks because they do not know whether it has spoiled or will spoil before they return (Eighner...

...Why Am I Ready For College Dohnavyn LeDuff John F. Kennedy Going to college has always been a dream to me. My parents have always said "to do well in school because if you do a good job in college you'll have an easier job of getting into college". I feel I am ready for college because I work hard and when I want something bad I put my all into it. My life isn't one of those struggling lives me and my family have for the most part had a good household. I grew up in a happy house hold were there were few problems. I had tried to take my mom’s advice of getting good grades and trying to be the best I could be but for some reason when I hit high school all of that changed. I wanted to be cool and well liked and the only way I felt I could do that was to lower my grades ditch class and hang with bad kids who thought they were "cool". I struggled for a long time I didn't learn my lesson even after to going to therapy. Being cool and popular was my main. Priority. When I got a little clue it was too late my mom took me out of Santiago and I transferred to a school called river springs during my sophomore year.

How to Say Nothing in 500 Words Paul Roberts Paul Roberts (1917-1967) was a linguist, a teacher, and a writer at San Jose State College from 1946 to 1960 and at Cornell University from 1962 to 1964. His books on writing, including English Syntax (1954) and Patterns of English (1956), have helped generations of high school and college students become better writers. "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words" is taken from his best-known book, Understanding English (1958). Although written almost fifty years ago, the essay is still relevant for student writers today. Good writing, Roberts tells us, is not simply a matter of filling up a page; rather, the words have to hold the reader's interest, and they must say something. In this essay, Roberts uses lively prose and a step-by-step process to guide the student from the blank page to the finished essay. His bag of writing su;ptegies holds good advice for anyone who wants to write well. PREPARING TO READ How do you feel about writing? Do you find writing difficult?
