...In my college days, I was associated with Prayaas, a student’s initiative for teaching the under-privileged children of the nearby locality of our college and provide them a better education by providing them stationeries, books and tutoring them. To help with the financial requirement of the Prayaas, we collected newspapers, old books –copies from our batch mates, seniors, juniors in different hostels, which were later sold for making paper bags. We also sold Prayaas T-Shirts among our college mates so that we can generate funds for providing stationeries, books and copies to those children. And on weekend evening, we took out 1-2 hours of time to teach and guided the children. We team members had tough time initially convincing the guardian-parents of the children to make their children attend our classes. So we started with small number of children who were ready and seeing our dedication and sheer effort, other children also stated attending the sessions. because most of them had this notion that they have to pay for this tuition classes and they did not see any reason why they should send their wards to these session when they are already sending them schools. But we explained them that despite they are attending classes, these students must have some doubts, issues regarding their academics so that we can guide them. I would like to recall the college incident again when I was serving as the Joint-Treasurer of the Cultural Society of the college. The Cultural...

...Improving Recruitment of Non-traditional Students Introduction The College of Adult and Professional Studies (CAPS) at Friends University offers working and busy adults an attainable way to earn their bachelor’s degrees. Degrees can be earned through accelerated online and evening classes. Since opening in 1985, it has been the largest and most profitable of the three colleges at Friends University. Despite being the most profitable, CAPS has been impacted by a national trend of declining enrollment and increasing skepticism of the value of a postsecondary education. These two issues combined create a large barrier that is not easy to overcome. The recruitment staff for CAPS needs proven tactics to combat the declining trend and skepticism. This paper will detail the research and findings of proven tactics the CAPS recruitment team can use to combat these issues. Background In the past the post-secondary enrollment forecast has been extremely positive. According to the US Census Bureau, between the years 2000 and 2005, college enrollment grew by 15 percent. From 2005 to 2010, it increased another 20 percent. But the growth has come to a standstill. In 2013 enrollment fell yet again by two percent across the board. Because of the demographics served by CAPS, the decline can be contributed to the decrease in college-age population. This can be contributed to the economic recovery. The adults who lost their jobs during the recession or opted out of the unwelcoming job market...

...how many hours on average a college athlete practices per year. A full 44.8 hours a week, more than how much time you spend at your job or at school. To help you get an idea, you work on average for about 40 hours a week and you go to school for about 35 hours a week (5 days in school week). If you take about 2,329 hours every year to play a sport or to do anything then you would want to get paid for it so you know that it could help you in the future right? Perfecting the sport might help you get to the state teams but while spending all of this time practicing and going to school, I doubt you have time for a job, getting paid for being on your college team might just help you out. However,...

...Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Give reason to support your opinion: " The college years are the best time in a persons' life" -- To some people, retirement years are the best time in their lives. People needn't work hard 8 hours a day, go around the office all day long but still having enough money to enjoy fulfill their lives. However, others object that college years bring to individuals the experiences and worth remembered memory. From my point of view, my college time is the most excited and wonderful years in my life. A convincing reason for this idea is that college time is the base for us to have a better life. It is reported from the Edu magazine is 65% people agreed that college is the best environment to develop one's aptitude and knowledge for our future job. Subjects are required in the curriculum give us chances to get useful skills, also improve higher ability to add to our real life situations. Another reason is that college years are the best time for people to establish the relationships with others. In that time, people tend to make friends, broaden relationships to intergrade the complex and huge environment like a college. What's more, the activities which are hold in college frequently attract most of students. Joining these events is a means not only develop our talents but also widen contact with other people.

...The journey from high school to college will be challenging as far as time management and personal responsibilities. In high school, scheduled school days are structured based upon the portion of time during the day that stays the same every day. In college, the individual must make a drastic change to a more unpredictable and flexible schedule. Time management will be challenging for students because one will have to decide what time the courses will be taken and how those courses will align with other responsibilities. Personal responsibility is a wake up for call for college students. In college, the individual is responsible for what happens in their lives. One is responsible to make sure they are up for their 8am class because no one is there to wake them up to be sure that they are on time. It is the students’ responsibility to make sure that their assignments are complete and are turned in on time because the professor may not remind one of these things. In one’s younger years, it is easy to put the blame on others to make themselves feel better about their own fault. Both failures and success should be appointed to the person individually. Making the transition from high school to college will be the most challenging experience of many students’ lives. The transition from high school to college will build one’s character. School overall, both high school and college, help discover, refine, and test students’ character. Values and ethical systems of students individually...

...Should College Athletes be Paid? Imagine being a college student athlete. In high school you were a straight A student, played sports, and you would always get assignments completed in a timely manner. But things have changed. Now you have to practice every day, go to all the games, then work a late shift at McDonalds, go to your dorm, and get your homework done, just to get about 2 hours of sleep. This is the daily life of a college athlete. Even on the weekend: they have to go to all games. They spend more time dedicated to their college team than they do in any other area of their life. College athletes are very dedicated. They work more for their team than for any other area of their life. In fact, college athletes practice an average...

...Transition to College Being nervous about the first day of college was definitely how I felt before starting. I knew that I was walking onto a campus more than four times the size as my high school and I was scared about getting lost. Luckily on the first day I was able to locate all of my classes because I had my little map out but that first week I made it late to one or two classes because I could not find how to get to a certain building that was off campus. Having a class that was actually off campus was something I did not realize could be possible but fortunately enough it is. As a commuter I could say that the college life is a lot more fun in high school because in a way you have more freedom but one could have the total freedom if they were able to dorm. Commuting almost an hour away every day is a pain in the butt, but the fact that I don’t have classes on Friday definitely makes up for it for me! They say that as life goes on you move on to bigger and better things. That is definitely true especially when it comes to school but you also move on to harder things as well. When people say that college is not easy they definitely mean it. My first semester as a freshman has not been quite too easy. Sometimes you get assigned a lot of work but then again compared to high school; you have more time to work on those assignments since you are not in school for the entire day. These are the times when I am definitely going to miss high school and I am only going to miss...

...Financial Services, 81% of parents with college-bound kids between the ages of 16-18 say attending college “Greatly affects their child's success.” Despite this, 75% of parents say they worry about covering the cost of college. Should such an important step in the life of many young adults be so drastically overpriced? Paying for a college education without taking out loans developed into impractical idea. In effect, most young adults have large amounts of debt in advance to them starting their carrier. Although some people believe college tuition is fairly priced, colleges and universities take advantage of the students feeling that a college education determines their success. On the other hand, supporters of the current college tuition average mostly credit a high inflation rate, a high increase in the demand for a college education and a high increase in the number of professors. For example, an argument...

...Difference Between High School and Collage. What are the differences regarding college and high school education? You might have heard that, unlike high school, college is a mythical land where parties overrule study sessions and professors don't care whether or not you skip class. Well, not quite! While this statement may prove to be true there are far greater differences between both levels of education. For instance one of the perks of a college education is that you are given more freedom as opposed to high school where your time is on demand. Also there is a difference in the work load in that it requires quality time, effort and research. Lastly, in high school students are limited to a certain dress code but in college students are not mandated to wear any sort of uniform attire. In essence the natural progression from high school to college life is presented with many major differences. To add, as we progress through our high school years growing with wisdom and maturity, one major component not given to us, but yearned for is freedom. Everyone wants the power to act, speak, or think as they want without any sort of hindrance. And that is exactly what collage offers those who are seeking tertiary education, a great deal of freedom not found in high school. To compare as a responsible young adult, in college you are given the opportunity to arrange your own class schedule and manage your own time with no one their telling you what or how something needs to...
