    Why Students Fail

    Why students flunk out of college can not be pin pointed to one thing. There are very many reasons why people drop out of college like for instance, a student may be too overwhelmed with his or her whole college schedule. Also, a student may also be overwhelmed with his or her work schedule on top of their busy college classes. Another reason students may drop out of school is because of personal problems, whether it may be family related or a relationship problems, they to can be very stressful on a student. With all of this stress it is no wonder why so many people drop out of school. But to be honest dropping out of school is almost never a good thing. Now a day’s so many jobs require a higher education background especially if you are trying to earn a greater salary than just the normal minimum wage. Another fact of the matter is that whether you got a scholarship or not someone is still paying for you to go to college, whether its you, your parents, the state or a specialized scholarship program, someone is still paying for you to learn. So, if you drop out you are not only throwing money away, in a sense, your also throwing your life away. Giving up on college also shows that you do not face adversity very well and that is something you will come across your whole life. College is hard there is no denying that but its college; it is supposed to be that way. If college was easy everyone would have a college degree. Having a college degree is what, in the workforce, will separate you, a college graduate, from a dropout who at best will only have his high school diploma. So, giving up now this early in life can lead to bad habits later on in life like being lazy and not being able handle pressure. The point I am trying to get across is that quitting college will get you nowhere fast. If you are having problems with your classes consider revising your schedule and try not to take so many classes. Or, you could possibly take a couple…

    BackgroundPatients with spinal cord injury (SCI) usually have permanent and often devastating neurologic deficits and disability. According to the National Institutes of Health, "among neurological disorders, the cost to society of automotive SCI is exceeded only by the cost of mental retardation."The goals for the emergency physician are to establish the diagnosis and initiate treatment to prevent further neurologic injury from either pathologic motion of the injured vertebrae or secondary injury from the deleterious effects of cardiovascular instability or respiratory insufficiency.PathophysiologyThe spinal cord is divided into 31 segments, each with a pair of anterior (motor) and dorsal (sensory) spinal nerve roots. On each side, the anterior and dorsal nerve roots combine to form the spinal nerve as it exits from the vertebral column through the neuroforamina. The spinal cord extends from the base of the skull and terminates near the lower margin of the L1 vertebral body. Thereafter, the spinal canal contains the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal spinal nerves that comprise the cauda equina. Therefore, injuries below L1 are not considered SCIs because they involve the segmental spinal nerves and/or cauda equina. Spinal injuries proximal to L1, above the termination of the spinal cord, often involve a combination of spinal cord lesions and segmental root or spinal nerve injuries.The spinal cord itself is organized into a series of tracts or neuropathways that carry motor (descending) and sensory (ascending) information. These tracts are organized anatomically within the spinal cord. The corticospinal tracts are descending motor pathways located anteriorly within the spinal cord. Axons extend from the cerebral cortex in the brain as far as the corresponding segment, where they form synapses with motor neurons in the anterior (ventral) horn. They decussate (cross over) in the medulla prior to entering the spinal…

    Ideas are meant not to immortalize history but rather to make sense of it. The manufacture of such ideas is influenced by circumstances that shape it and also, the vital thoughts of their authors. If we are to analyze our history, we could see that ideas are not only important for their interpretation of our history but also for their contribution to changes in our nation. Groundbreaking ideas have moved our nation to change. It is thus valuable for us to recall our own political thinkers. To fully appreciate our nation's existence, it is important for us to trace the evolution of Filipino political thinking.…
