Lessons From My Year As A Freshmen Summary

“Lessons from My Year as a Freshmen” was written by an anthropology professor named Rebekah Nathan who focused on college students actions throughout the school year. She tend to question the reasons why her students were not attending class, doing well in their academics and wanted to figure out their perspective of their new life as independent individuals. Throughout her written observations she wondered if the upcoming students were going to create a change around their new society. For example, she questioned if they were inspired to new ideas for transforming our world in a positive perspective, or were they just going with the flow, becoming adults and joining the workforce in the existing society. Over time, Nathan figured that students
of the recent generations have become more focused on their personal struggles, which has lead them to not be full time students, but have different duties just to stay in school. She compared her experience as a student herself, and learned the reason why new students are more different then the past generations. She discovered that being a student is hard work, however she figured out how there are mistakes with the educational programs, which have negatively affected the college experience politically, economically and culturally.
