¶ … School can be either a very uplifting and inspirational place or a daunting place which serves to discourage the student. I am on the verge of completing my college educating and receiving my degree. Other people have not been able to have this achievement. Some people have had issues in life which has prevented them from a straight line through education and have to perform what may be seen as unnecessary tasks to prove their educational aspirations. In "The Second-Chance Club: Inside a Semester of Remedial English," authors Eric Looker and Sara Lipka write about a class of students who have to take remedial English and who are not particularly pleased about having to do so. There are many differences between my regular college course and remedial English, but there are also similarities between this remedial class and my own. My class is for credit so I seem to care about it more, the students in the remedial class have more external problems that might hinder their performance, but the thing that we have in common is the fact that by taking the class we are improving ourselves and preparing for future successes. In the remedial class, they are not receiving credit for taking the class. However, they are required to take...

In fact, because much of the education seemed tailored towards teaching the students basic life-skills information, such as the weather, the nurse was able to really interact with the child's education. The best part of the experience was observing the inherent joy in children. From an outsider's perspective, the children
U.S. Economy Evaluating the current state of the United States economy Although many are of the opinion that the recession that the globe was forced into in 2008 is finally uplifting and signs of economic revival can be witnessed.

A counselor like any other physician, or medical practitioner must help. That is their first and only objective. The relationship between a counselor and their client must first and foremost be a beneficial and safe one.
