Is Money What’s Keeping International Students From Getting Better Education?

Image
By Jaclyn Lim Gathered in the library with a few of his friends, a De Anza international student is busy studying for one of his classes. George Lukman, 19, engineering major, is an international student currently enrolled in four classes at De Anza and is also in the running to be vice president of the De Anza Associated Student Body (DASB). Lukman is one out of more than 1,900 international students who pay the international tuition fee, according to De Anza International Student Program. International students are not eligible to gaining access to financial aid. A recent Reuters article says that international students have become an important funding factor for American colleges. According to the Institute of International Education, there is a decline of 6.6 percent of new enrollment in 2017 to 2018 resulting in a 3.3 percent decrease in international students. “People wouldn’t receive financial aid because you’ve come all the way here to pay for your

Hi fellow bloggers or viewers. I know it's been quite a while. I'm back with a very very important topic to discuss/talk about. I hope after reading this you would change your mind about some things. Okay, the society. I believe we all know that the society changes a person as they grow. They make a person that which the society only agrees with. I don't think it should be like this. I think we should all be the person we want to be. I'm not encouraging you to start taking weed or start raping girls or anything. But as in, be who you want to be; not the person your parents wants you to be. If you want to learn music and not law, then go for music. Learn what you love, that way you'll have fun and achieve your goals and dreams. Talk to your parents. Nicely. Let them know that it's your life and you get to choose the future you want. But please guys, please choose wisely. Think further in before you actually tell them. Because we all should love the job we'

Truth

My life, isn't as happy as you think it is. And i'm not as happy as you think i am. Most of the people think, being me, is a really nice thing because they think my family is rich, happy, peaceful, and most of them think, i'm always happy. But the truth is, i'm not. For the past few years, I've always loved to make people happy. When i was younger, someone told my mom i hated my whole family, and i hated her, and my mom was really sad, so she took me to the orphanage. I begged and begged her not to put me here. Thats what i remembered. So she took me to my aunt's kindergarten. I sat there for a full of three exact days. And i kept thinking. Who would do this to me and why. And long after, i found out. But because i didn't want to hurt her feelings, i didn't mention this up, and i didn't blame her for anything. I just kept it to myself until now. And at that moment, i was in year 2. I was eight years young. And my dad was in the hospital for an operat

Hi everyone! Guess what?! :P It's Kaylynn's birthday today! WHEE! Sad i won't be celebrating her birthday with her. But i just want to let her know that she's the best! We both are just so awesome together. :P We may have some ups and downs throughout our friendship. But we are still strong and crazy maniacs together. We made up so many words together. Like 'stupid idiot pangsai' hahaha! And lots more. :p We have sleepovers once in a while. When we have sleepovers its always fun. We stay up very late, look for hair tutorials, gossip, act stupid, laugh, laugh, laugh, dance, and laugh more. We basically just do so many things. Love her so much! It's easy being with her. I'm always myself. Everytime i'm down she's always there to cheer me up. She's the best! I can never ask for anything more. I love her sooo soo much. Hopefully we'll go shopping together soon. Like only both of us, going window shopping, trying on clothes, not buying them, r

Make a change

Okay hi guys! Tbh, I actually have a lot of bad habits. One of them, is laziness. DAMN! I don't understand why am I so lazy. Lazy and stupid. I've been slacking in my school works. Slowing down. Everyone have already finish more than one book. And me? Still in number zero. I don't know what is happening to me. It's so embarrassing. I mean, I'm a girl. I'm suppose to be smart, well behaved and have a girly attitude. But look at me. Boyish, rough, stupid, lazy, disgusting, LAZY. Oh gosh, why am I so lazy. :( So today, I've decided to change. Maybe not all the part of my attitude. But I must take laziness and stupidity away. It is affecting my school progression. It's bad! BADBADBAD! Okay, so tomorrow onwards, I must start concentrating on my school work, and stop my freaking mouth from talking and talking and talking. Stop my eyes from being such a busybody all the time. And concentrate on the book! Okay! I can do this! I hope this change is a work. Wish m

DANCING LIFE

HEY. SO, see here. I have a dancing life.And i love it. I dance a type of dance which is, BALLET. I've been dancing ballet since I was three till now. I haven't stop. When i was three, i thought ballet was all about fun, playing, and not SERIOUS. Until today when i realize dancing ballet is SUFFERING, HARD, PAIN, HURTFUL, i first thought i wanted to stop dancing because my leg hurts and it sucks to stand on pointe.But then, there was one day, i saw a video of a fourteen year old ballet dancer. Her name is Miko Fogarty. She's a beautiful, young dancer. Every time i see her dance, the gracefulness, i too, feel like dancing. A its a really big thing because i'm fourteen she's fourteen and so i thought maybe if i work harder i could do something like her? So i decided to continue. So every time when i have really pain times in ballet, i think of how hard she work.And i was happy i didn't stop. Because dancing, for me now, is a really big thing. I do it three times a
