Learning Should Never Stop Essay

¶ … Ring There are many challenges that college students face as they transition from high school to the higher standards and level of responsibility goes up significantly. There are also things that set some students apart when it comes to what schools they do (or do not) get into as well as what scholarships they get when it comes to the same. The author of this essay will go into detail about both of these aspects of educational and academic life as a means to justify why the author is entitled to the ring.

One big adjustment that any student needs to deal with when going to college as compared to high school is that the academic prowess and dedication has to go up a lot. The burden to get a high school diploma is a lot lower than it is to get a college degree and this is as it should be. It is true that there are remedial classes for math and English but these are only applicable and needed when the proper high school-level curriculum is not taught at the high school level or perhaps when a student is a new or recent immigrant to the United States. Another reason college can be challenging...

This is true in terms of the types of people that abound on the campus (both students and professors), the material that is taught in the classrooms, the viewpoints that are openly stated and so forth. Even though many high school students are adults given that they are eighteen years old, the climate is entirely different at the college level because the vast majority of the students on hand are at least 18, meaning they are all adults. The differing viewpoints in particular can be a shock because regional high schools and the upbringing of parents can lead to a rather narrow and closed view of the world. No such protection or exclusionary methodology exists at most high schools. The author of this essay, rather than shunning this shock and change, actually embraces it. High school students are often in a bubble and they need to be removed from it. This is necessary to truly experience and know things about cultural diversity, differences in political thought and so forth. While some new college students may remain steadfast in the values they held while growing up, there…

The author of this report holds that the author should be awarded the ring because the author is ready and willing to learn, experience and grow through what is being taught, explained and shown to the author. Rather than behave in a xenophobic or intolerant way, the author instead wishes to gain cultural competence, the ability to work and network with people of all sorts of diverse cultures and learn more of the thought patterns and worldviews that have led this planet to be where it is politically and socially. So often, family life and the news media likes to focus on what they feel is important and they leave out a lot of details and things to learn when they do so. College life is superior in that most of them are non-profit and the incentive to sweep things under the rug or otherwise ignore the facts as they are, both past and present, is not there for most people. The author wants the ring because the author wants to be a beacon for thinkin, feeling and acting the right way and that takes a proper education and an open mind. The author certainly has the latter but wants all the help and time the author can get with the former of those two.

Conclusion

As the election year of 2016 has so far proven, things are very chaotic in this country. They are equally chaotic in the world at large. It will take people and leaders that know the full story of what is really going on, what people are hiding and the perspectives that are truly in play. Some people like to think that the learning process can stop at 18 or 22 but the learning process should never stop at any time. The author of this essay wants to be a beacon and example of this idea and in any way possible and practical.
