Gift To America
America’s gift to my generation is all of the job opportunities and education that this country offers. In other countries, students who are not smart enough do not attend a normal high school. In America, it is required that all children have an education until they get to high school, where they are offered the opportunity unless they choose to drop out. We also have many job opportunities that come with our education. If you put in the effort in school you will be able to go to college and get an advanced education that will help you be successful in finding a well paying job. In America, children are given the opportunity to attend elementary school, middle school, and high school. If they put in the effort and work hard, they can also be able to go to college for academics. Laws are also constantly being added to help better school systems and better students’ education. In school, we are required to learn how to read, write, do math, science, and learn history and other skills. In many countries, certain people are not allowed to learn to read, write, or have an education. Also, in other countries, children who are not smart enough or don’t score high enough are denied the opportunity to go to a normal high school and get an …show more content…
People born in the 1940’s during the baby boomer period are retiring, leaving many jobs open for my generation to fill. This makes it a lot easier to find and get a job. Also, with all of the new advances in science, genetics, technology, etc, even more opportunities become available. This is good because many schools are making the transfer to technology. So, by the time my generation comes to the time where they are looking for jobs, they will already be skilled at using this technology. The gift that America offers to my generation is the gift of opportunity for education and

    Companionship is a necessity for those seeking happiness and peace of mind within their lives. Without any faith in others, people will suffer from loneliness and sorrow. This idea is presented in the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. The text delineates the lives of multiple characters who have experienced pain as a result of their alienation from others. These characters include a black man, named Crook’s, who is separated from society because of his skin color, Curley’s wife who, in the time period, was treated with disrespect because of her gender, and two itinerant farm laborers, George and Lennie, once the best of friends, who have lost each other in a world of fear and misfortune. This concept of isolation is developed through…

    Savage Inequalities

    Before reading the book “Savage Inequalities” by Jonathan Kozol, I was highly unaware of how poor and neglected some schools are in America. I thought that every school in America had a great educational system and educators, but clearly I was mistaken. I knew that every school in America was not equal; there were obviously some schools that were better than others. However, upon reading “Savage Inequalities” I discovered that it was far worse than I actually knew. The book exposed me to racism/inequality in the educational system, and at some points I had no words for such disgust and mistreatment.…

    Our educational system in America is highly inefficient. It focuses more on standardized testing than it does on helping the students understand the curriculum. I have seen teachers that care more about their paycheck than the well-being of their own students. On top of all this, once you're out of high school, there is college. Of course, it is not required for you to attend. But it's almost impossible to get a well paying job without a degree. To make matters worse, college is unbelievably expensive, making it nearly impossible to go without putting yourself in debt, because the average cost for tuition for a public college in America is $9,139. For example, my own mother almost didn’t pass high school, because her government teacher always put her down and how she was going to fail. My mom was never able to get a college level education because her parents could not afford to give her that privilege.…

    Education is an important aspect of how the world survives. Without it, the next generation would never excel; therefore, defeating the purpose of a species to thrive and gain knowledge through reproduction. The way that education works is based upon what goals are set and who is supervising them. In the United States, there is a Department of Education that works with small groups to set standards. Other countries have extremely different systems, some more rigorous and others non-existent. In many other first world countries, higher education is paid for through the government which is something the U.S. was previously considering through the campaign of Bernie Sanders. Despite the shiny surface of free college tuition, there are setbacks.…
