                                       Is Higher Education Worth The Price? 

 
Many people in college have asked themselves this question before if college was worth it? The answer to that is yes, college is worth it because obtaining a degree can provide better opportunities for you in the future. . The decision on to whether to attend college, pick a major and stick with it is the most controversial financial decisions most young people make, but there are many benefits as to why a higher education in college is worth it in the long run. With a bachelor's degree or anything higher can guarantee better chances of employment, especially in your desired career path, plus college graduates generally make more money than those without a degree. The price of college has increased every year so it’s becoming more difficult to pay off for college for some people, but scholarships have been providing help for those struggling to pay off college and students that major in higher education tend to get massive returns to them at the end of their semesters, so this furthers proves that in the end, higher education is worth the price,

The author is aware that he made some tremendous mistakes along the way, but he is very grateful to have had the freedom to redeem himself and made a point to mention, “ When we’re young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn’t exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available.” I agree with this statement because our childhood gives us our baseline values and beliefs, these are the

Are We Products Of Our Environment Or Products Of Our Expectations?

 McKayla Dudley  LTED2051817 Contemporary Literacies Spring   4/6/2022                      Are We Products of Our Environment or Products of Our Expectations?  I do believe that we are the products of our environment but more so, it's almost like we're victims of it too. Of course, not all of us are victims but those that can say that there are no rules that say being a product of your environment must be bad or negative. While the expectations society lays on us may influence our choices, we are ultimately still in charge of our actions. For example, if society wants us to get a car, we'll get a car, if we want a house, we'll get a house. Instead, we can say that we are the products of our actions, however, the same thing can be true with expectations, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, we become subject to expectations placed on us.
