Why Do Students Attend College?
Every American student gets to go to school for free from Pre-school through their High School years. During their High School years, they need to obtain a high ACT Scores and a high GPA in order to get free full Scholarship and grants that will help them through their first year of college. However, for some students that aren't doing well in High School GPA, it doesn't mean that they have to pay out of pocket when they attend college. Every College and University in America, they have their own scholarships programs, grant, loan and work-study and other resources from other foundation, which are waiting for them to apply. Those funds are great for all students who need help that their family can't afford to pay for their tuition like others. Unlike, Cambodia students every time they go to school, their parents have to help them with all the costs and expenses from pre-school to their college years. We don't have any such support from the government or any scholarship funding from school program like here in America. Even though some parents are wealthy enough to send their kid to school but they need to work really hard on every subject they took in class. But if they feel that they need help on a subject, they have to go to tutoring after class, which they have to pay extra for the subject. So for some kids whose parents can only send them to a regular school but not to a special tutoring, then their grades would really be low and often they will fail the class and eventually drop out of school. …show more content…
In my opinion, I think America and government really support kids in education because of the financial available both from the public and private and free tutor in each school library that is such a help to those who need

    In America, our education is very different from most countries. The reasons for this are the rights, the success that comes with it, and the skills that it exhibits to us. The rights that come to education is that anybody can entwine, no matter how individuals were in school before that, race, or gender. Education also displays a way to success in life. For example, education can demonstrate how to do a job that a person would like and be successful with.

    Today in America education is not highly valued in our society as it were in the past As our education value decline other country in Asia (such as China, Japan, Korea, India, Pakistan, e.t.c) excel over us. After reading the article “Why They Excel” by Fox Butterfield I began to understand some of the reason why Asia excels. Butterfield clearly state that American students are not doing as well as Asia student because American family are not getting involve/supporting in their children school life. And also it’s hard work, motivation, and how we’re raised. I believe this is true because many Americans have lost their value of hard work to succeed in life; instead they rely on talent alone.…

    Is college worth going to? Does going to it help you in the future? Or does it just put you in debt? Many people think of college as something that everyone has to go to, to be successful in life. But it isn’t alway necessary to be successful. For example some of the most successful people in the world such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs dropped out of high school but are very proficient at what they do. Right now you may think that it doesn't matter if I go to college because they didn’t and yet they became very successful. But you’re wrong. Even though they succeeded when they dropped out and didn’t go to college it doesn’t mean you will. College is worth going to even if it costs thousand of dollars and even if you’re not meant to be there.…

    The reason why i want to attend college is because it will be an honor to my family and especially to my mother. College is not common in my family because no one has gone to college yet and I would want to be the first in my family to attend a 4 year university. Going to college will make me feel proud of myself because I will make my mom proud and not just that, but make myself proud of all the accomplishments i have accomplished so far.

The field where i would want to study is physical therapy or a field where i would be working with bones, possibly I can major in english.

    The most enlightening evidence may come from Columbia and their PACE voucher program though. This is very good empirical evidence compared to that of the studies done in the U.S. because there is a longer term where data is collected as well as much smaller amounts of attrition and compromising factors. (Angrist, 2006, p. 859). What Angrist found was that students who were a part of the voucher program “completed more years of school and had lower grade repetition, higher test scores,” (2006, p. 847) and a “substantially higher high-school graduation rate.” (2006, p.…

    Purpose of College

    • 398 Words
    • 1 Page

    Going to college is very important to me and has many purposes. Attending college can be challenging, but it can only help you and your future. One important reason to attend college is to further your education. Furthering your education not only helps you understand things in life, but it also allows you to get a degree. By having a degree it can open doors for job opportunities and many other things. Getting my degree is very important to me. College is also a time to grow up and become an adult. College is a time to learn to be independent, to learn to be responsible, to mature, and to learn real world responsibilities. One must become responsible while in college, because you don’t have parents to tell you what to do anymore. Your decisions affect you, and can affect the people around you. My parents have stressed to me since day one how important college is. They told me I wasn’t getting a free ticket into college, and that I had to work and become something of myself. I had to work not only on my academics, but also at my athletics. College is a wonderful opportunity to make lifelong friendships and memories that one can cherish forever. Being a part of a school is a great feeling and I can’t thank my parents enough for pushing me every step of the way to get me where I am today. It was a little ruff, but it was all worth it. College is a time for one to have fun, and to become a part of your school you attend. Get involved. Join something you haven’t done before, whether it is a sport, a faith based organization, or something involving your field of study. College is all about learning new things and experiencing things you never have before, so why not take advantage of it. College is a very important thing to me, and it is something everyone should take seriously because it is not free, and you can learn so much from attending college. College is a once in a lifetime thing, so I say make the best of it. I cannot wait to see what the rest of this year…

    American students fall so far behind in education than students in India, Asia and Europe especially in math and science. As educational researcher Harold Stevenson (1993) notes, although "the U.S. is among the countries expending the highest proportion of their gross national product on education, our elementary school and secondary school students never place above the median in comparative studies of academic achievement."…
