Why did you decide to come to college?
I decided to come to college because I wanted to take my education to the next level. Receiving an education means more money in the future, at least thats what I think. Another reason why I came to college is because I want  to do something with my life instead of having a low-paying, non statisfying job.

Questions For Reading and Writing. "Let Teen-agers Try Adulthood"

Analyze Botstein's proposal for restructuring American high schools.  Has he anicipated all of the objections you can think of? If not, what has he missed? How feasible does his solution seem to you?

I dont think Botein's propoal fro restructuring high schools isnt feasible at all. I dont think that 6th and 7th graders should be able to go high school after that grade level because,  I dont believe their brains are  developed well enough do understand some of the complex work that comes with high school. Another reason why I dont think kids should be graduating high school at 16 because, I dont think their mature enough to handle college or work next adults in the working field.

A writer's respons"Becoming Educated"

Education means a lot to me, for without it, I wouldn't have a good paying job in the future. I value an education because I want to be better than everyone one else in my family who didnt go to college. I want to be the first to be the one to graduate college, so my family can look up to me. I think sometimes if I graduate college, then that will inspire the next coming up generation go to college, and do something with their lives. Without an education you can't make it far in life. Thats why I plan to keep myself educated.
