Good Debt
Submitted by Julie on Wed, 02/24/2010 - 12:30
In a world where gainful employment for college graduates is sparse and tuition continues its astronomical ascent, how dangerous is your student debt? The Wall Street Journal reports how one woman, now a family practitioner, found out first hand. Michelle Bisutti finished medical school with about $250,000 worth of debt. Although this is already an intimidating amount, it has now ballooned to over twice as much at $550,000. How did this happen?

Should colleges recruit young teens?
Submitted by Rae on Fri, 02/05/2010 - 16:25
Do you remember what it's like to be 13? Perhaps you were in the 7th grade like I was. My favorite class was Social Studies. My biggest worries revolved around getting good grades, winning sports games, and trying to stay under the radar when it came to bullies and gossip. Compared to the complexity of adulthood, I’d say I had it pretty good in junior high. At age 13, David Sills from Wilmington, Deleware has become the youngest athlete to commit to playing college football with the USC Trojans in 2015. Yes, that’s right, at 13. He’s not even in high school! Is this the right move or should college recruiting back off young athletes?
Introverts, You’ve Got it Goin’ On

I have recently published a blog post about being an introvert and thought that this week’s Sorbate topic on stereotypes would be the perfect opportunity to spread the good word about us introverts. If you haven’t noticed, the United States is a very extroverted society. As a minority, introverts encounter a lot of misconceptions especially in the workplace.

"This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in." -Theodore Roosevelt
Imagine if you were the United States President for a day, what would you do with all that power? I was curious to know how the students would respond to this prompt, but it wouldn’t be that easy to get responses from middle school students from South Central LA.
