I will be the first to graduate, and so I owe my parents a great debt. My mother has always expected me to do my best and excel at whatever I do. I have struggled in this country and with some of my classes, but I feel that my 3.30 grade average at UMASS in Boston is a good representation of my abilities and my determination. I want to continue in my studies because I know that to excel in my career, I must graduate and continue with an advanced degree, and this is part of my plan for the future. I hope to teach, to make a difference with my students, and to continue with my education to learn and grow as much as possible. I think that education is the key to the future, for both my future students and me, and so, continuing my education is a natural progression of my goals, dreams, and hopes for the future.
How will a StraightForward Media Dale E. Fridell Scholarship help you meet your educational and professional goals?"
The Fridell Scholarship will help me achieve my educational and professional goals in a number of ways. First, it will allow me to continue my education and graduate. I have helped earn the money to put myself through college, and it has been difficult to work, study, and attend classes. The scholarship would give me some breathing room in my work, while allowing me to graduate in a timely manner. In addition, the scholarship is a stepping-stone to my career and professional goals. I hope to teach sociology,...
Continuing my education is another step, and I plan to continue with a Masters degree after I establish myself as a teacher. The scholarship will help me build a strong foundation that will serve me well throughout the years.
I believe the Fridell Scholarship will also allow me to concentrate on my studies more fully, and will help me raise my GPA. Currently I have a 3.30 GPA, but I feel that if I had to work less, I could devote more time to my studies, and raise that GPA even higher. That is one of my goals for my last year of college, and I believe the scholarship could be another stepping stone in achieving this goal. I would like more time to study, but I have to work a certain number of hours a week to pay for my expenses. The scholarship would help me reduce these hours and devote more time to my major of Sociology and my eventual success in graduating. I think the last year of school is the most important, and so, I really hope to dedicate myself to my education this last year, and make a final success of my time at UMASS. I also hope to pass my knowledge and enthusiasm for sociology on to my students, and feel the scholarship would help me achieve this goal by giving me opportunities that I can then pass on to my students. Therefore, I sincerely hope you will consider my request for the Fridell Scholarship. I look forward to your decision.
Several community colleges have in recent times shown preference for non-credit post-secondary students as opposed to credit students. This trait is particularly common in the areas of staff tutoring and contractor training.

This engagement is reported to be highly valuable to most students as they connect with one another on relevant classroom topics as applied to life contexts.

" According to Patton (1998) the overrepresentation of African-American children in special education programs that are intended for students that have serious emotional or behavioral disorders, learning disabilities, and mental disabilities has continued to be a problem even though many researchers have recognized the problems that have occurred as a result of such overrepresentation. In fact there is exhaustive amounts of literature that explains the "causal factors that range from failure
Abstract Dual enrollment programs have become mandatory in about half the states.

growing recognition of the changing educational needs of college students, particularly those attending community colleges.
