Why do only a few students tend to get it rather than everyone? It has been proven that only top students tend to get scholarships, but again, all of us have the same rights as them. “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Instead of applying for a scholarship, why can’t a standard six graduate get a scholarship without having to apply for it?As a fourth form student, I tend to have financial problems but why can’t the government realize that a little help could be the way to success. “Two hands...

...How would this scholarship help you pursue an education that would put you on your ideal career path? Personal Narrative Reach for the stars "The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere." -Barack Obama.

My dream is to work in the field of astronomy. I have big hopes for the universe and the planets, stars, galaxies, and other extraterrestrial objects outside our world.

...Why I believe immigrants come to America? I believe they come to America to have a better life, and get money to provide for their families. Immigrants come to America to seek freedom and different opportunities they cannot get in their homeland. Why should immigrants have to be deported back to their homeland because they have no rights in America which is supposed to be the “Land of the Free”. These people we call “immigrants” are the same people who would do anything to stay in the country.They do work us Americans don't like to take part in and wouldn't lift a finger doing. Immigrants actually want to work in U.S, they wants something good for themselves. This is the dream, they come to pursue a dream they wouldn't be able to get back home. They see America as their way to happiness and a better life. So why not let immigrants try to pursue a dream and find happiness instead of judging them and wanting to kick them out if the country. If they aren't doing any harm, why want them leave? Freedom is a big part of why immigrants come to America. Immigrants are people just as Americans, they aren't nothing less. They fight just like Americans fight to survive in the country. What would us Americans do if they were an immigrant living in poverty raising themselves? Yes some Americans do raise themselves but not all live in poverty.(Weeden, L. Darnell) No one should be judged by where they come from, who they are, or how they look. Us people use the quote “ Don't judge a book...

...College athletes should not be paid. Why should college athletes be paid, when it’s their choice to play the sport or not? College athletic programs can’t afford to pay athletes. There is a lot of money being put into athletic programs, but there is also the same amount going out and a lot of the programs are working at a loss. Most college athletes get sports scholarships, which should be payment enough. The athletes mostly always get their full tuition paid for, or at least discounted. Millions or even billions are given to athletes every year. The athletic scholarship for a school overtakes the school’s tuition. Even if a student doesn’t actually get money towards tuition, they get “freebies” for housing, meals, etc. Playing sports...

...At every school in America, there are students that go to school and work their hardest each and every day. They take the hardest classes and challenge themselves more than anyone in their school. At most schools these students are rewarded for deciding to take the difficult route and challenging themselves by means of a weighted GPA. However, there are also students like this who go to schools that do not have a weighted GPA, and the difficult classes they take weigh the same as a general level class. This is why state governments should introduce a statewide high school GPA, so that equality is provided to every student, especially when it comes to applying to college. Applying to college is important and a statewide GPA scale would positively affect this because, “Honors and advanced-placement classes and also can positively affect an admissions decision” (Weaver 1) and with this said GPA system each student would have the same opportunity as those who go to a different schools across the state. Grading systems have been around since the very beginning of schooling. Instructors needed some way to rank their students so they had an idea of how their teaching was affecting them.“In essence, grading is an exercise in professional judgment on the part of teachers. It involves the collection and evaluation of evidence on students' achievement or performance over a specified period of time, such as nine weeks, an academic semester, or entire school year” (Guskey 2). In the beginning...

...Leadership Paper Cassandra Eisengart Waynesburg University NUR 518 I began my journey to become a nurse in 2006 when I graduated high school and entered a nursing school in Akron, Ohio. Thankfully, upon graduation in 2010 from Robert Morris University I was able to quickly find a job that would lead me to wanting to advance my career further and get my masters degree in nursing. Without the many programs made available because of willing nurses to become educators, a lot of us would not be where we are today, myself included. Many people think about the nursing shortage when it comes to bedside nursing and nurses in hospitals. Few rarely think that in order for a person to become a nurse they actually need other nurses that are willing to teach them. As the baby boomer generation gets older, we have to keep in mind that this is also a lot of our nurses in the field right now. According to the Administration on Aging by 2030 there will be 72.1 million people in the United States age 65 and older, which will be about 19% of the population. This number is compared to just 12.4% of the population in the year 2000. Again, not only do these numbers show the advancing age of our population, it shows that a lot of the nurses that we have in the work force right now are going to be retiring within the next 10-15 years. According to the National League for Nursing, in 2007, one out of five nurse educators planned to retire within 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately...

...Founding Idea from the founding father is the pursuit of happiness, And for everyone happiness is different and yet it's the same. For instance let's say that a young woman, Jane wants to be a Nurse at Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Spring but the hospitality only picks the graduates at the top of their class. So this is where everything gets a little tricky in order to have your “happiness” you must now compete to get that job by getting a better grade than most in the class. Know the question though is if the government of the united states is holding up to this standard? The truth is that everyone has their idea of happiness which might mean that one-hundred others have the same idea of happiness that doesn't mean that they all will get their happiness. Infact it clearly states that you will be able to pursue your...

A sense of accomplishment and success light up the room; this is why I want to be a surgeon. Thinking about how the human body functions has always been fascinating and as a young hispanic girl I started to view the world around me a little differently. Growing up, my love for science, math, and the human anatomy has always sparked up my curiosity, but, I never fully realized it. During the summer of junior year, I participated in a three-week college prep program at The College of New Jersey. Here, I took college level courses, which provided me with a sense of individuality and responsibility to another level. While I resided at the campus, family visits were not allowed, therefore, I was on my own....

...student in this major will learn emergency care, health assessment, research and scholarship for evidence-based projects, issues and trends in nursing and so much more. Enrolling in a four-year BSN program is a serious commitment. While some students manage to work while in school, a nursing student is devoting a great amount of time to coursework and lab time so they must consider whether they can manage their schedule effectively. Some BSNs can be done on a hybrid program meaning that students can take some classes online. However, the practical lessons will most likely be scheduled at a local hospital or on campus. In summary, this major is not an easy one. A junior nursing student at Bowie state university had something to say on the difficulty of the nursing major, she said, “I didn’t expect nursing to be this hard. I thought nurses just nurtured patients. I didn’t know nursing involved all this science and learning about medication and basically having some of the same knowledge as a doctor”(Shonte)....
