What's Your Kid Getting From College?

 What’s Your Kid Getting From College?

In this article this woman states,” I am a college graduate. I am also unemployed. I was lead[sic] to believe that college would insure me a job. I now have $40,000 worth of student debt.”  This is true. People go to college to get a job, a job to live off of for the rest of the working lives. It’s hard to get a job with just a high school diploma and now its even hard to get one with just a basic college diploma, not even talking about the bachelor or master degree you could be getting.  Every parent wants there kid to go to college, they may even save money since they were little just for this two to maybe eight year experience. Yet these kids going to college aren’t guaranteed a job, but they are guaranteed student debts unless there parents or they them self are filthy rich, but how often does that actually happen. College is starting to become a requirement to get a job, but yet, not guaranteed a job but guaranteed debts along the way. In my case alone, because it’s cheaper to go to a tech school instead of a 4 year school to get my basic classes I’m probably just going to go to a tech school to get my basic classes and then transfer to a 4 year school. At the time of going to the tech school I’ll be working to get money so I don’t need to get loans ect. Just to pay for college.

This is the article I used.

how i write

When I write, I let my imagination go. Letting what comes in my mind out on the paper. Right or wrong it’s out for all eyes. Floating on a cloud, under a tree, my mind brings me everywhere. Going on a ride with it, brings me to some interesting topics, not knowing how I got here or where to go just let it all out in the words on the paper. Could be a sentence long or even a book just saying what's on my mind is how i explore my writing abilities.

Coulrophobia- Fear of Clowns

It may be a common fear of people, not knowing who is really under the mask, or behind all that make-up. After watching the horror movie It, also a book by Stephen King. Has terrorized me since i was a little kid.  The summer after watching It , going to circus world with my family, just a casual, fun day.WOLX, a radio station, had a drawing going on. Put your name in a box and win a gift bag, with a CD and some other fun things. My mom thought it would be a good idea to put mine and my sisters names in the drawing, and it would be anounced at the big performance that day. We went to the big performance and before it started they took the box out that WOLX had put the names in for the winning people. There was two people the could win. First they called out a guys name, then they say Emily... I get so excited. they call my name. I run down there to get the prize, and realized a clown, one the looked just like It from the movie, was holding the gift bag. If i wanted the bag, I had to give the clown a hug. I was so scared what to do. I did it an dashed. Never again will i feel comfortable going to see clowns.
