As you know, tuition calculation 2015-2016 has been increased. In this second year of graduate school in the Landscape Architecture Department, I have to pay 3 units of credits more this semester than the last two semesters. As an International student, I pay paid 2.76 times more than the residential tuition, which adds more pressure to my family members and my already tight budget.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, yeah looks like we’re all here. A wise friend of mine once asked me “how much grit do you think you’ve got?” Yeah he was reciting the poem by poet Edgar Albert Guest but that’s besides the point. Our grit is our courage and will to improve; it is the courage and will that we have built starting from Kindergarten and kept pushing forward to face all adversities. So just how much grit did Discovery High School’s class of 2018 have exactly? Considering the fact that we are all sitting

“Good Morning Maggie Walker, today is September 9, 2014. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.” Attentively listening to the bright orotund female voice permeate through the school referencing bountiful opportunities that would give any freshmen goosebumps. Abruptly before the female finished her last sentence, a short corpulent Caucasian man entered the room. Staring at my notebook, I noticed he spoke with a rather raucous voice, “Welcome!

Once I'm done with my probation in two months. I will be joining the Marines. I know I have been talking about it for a while now, but if it wasn't for my DUI, I would've already enlisted.

My father always mentioned to me that man does not live to work. Rather, they work so that they may have the resources to live. In my case, I decided during the summer of my junior year that I would search for any job opportunities so as to gain the resources and experience to live in the world beyond education and schooling. To my disbelief, I found that that world was much more difficult to enter than I had once imagined it to be. I discovered that the hiring process was affected only minimally

I feel like it was just yesterday that we were at our kindergarten graduation, singing “First Grade, First Grade” to the tune of “New York, New York.” Now we find ourself at our eighth grade graduation about to go to high school.
