Blog Assignment #2, August 29-September 2
Read the following article from the Houston Chronicle last year. Respond in a scholarly fashion. For this assignment, you do NOT have to respond to one of your classmate's responses. You only have to post your own response.
This proves that if you work hard you can get things done. Also that college life will change who you are. Whether in a good or bad way thats up to you. This kid however got his act together and found out that the real world is much different then when you are hanging with friends. In return, is going to do very well in life and will get the job done.
This article proves that no matter where your from, or what race you are you can achieve anything you want you just have to believe in yourself and,have to put in hard work.
This article shows me that anything is possible. The odds were against him and now he is a graduate of a&m. It shows that it doesn't matter where you came from, with a little bit of help you can just about do anything you want
This article proves that your background shouldn't decide what you do with your life, and because of that program A&M has that kid got a second chance at life basically and most likely going to be very successful now.
This article proved that appearance is important in the real world. If you want to be taken seriously you have to present yourself in a more professional way during the appropriate times. College was a reality check for this man. He became a better person by the way he was challenged at A&M. He gained a better understanding of the world and learned that the effort you put in will correspond with the results you get. Being a minority made it difficult for him but in the end that is what made him a better person. That was A&M initial goal, and they hope to do the same for other minorities.
This article shows that if you put your mind to it and work hard then anything is possible. Doesn't matter what race you are or history you have,that shouldn't decide which direction your life goes. He became a better man. Appearance is extremely important. Your determination will determine your results.
This artlcle shows me that it doesn't matter if you are black, asian, hispanic or whatever, when it comes to learning everyone deserves a quality education. Also that prejudices are still well and alive in many schools around the country, this is strenghtned by the fact that racial diversity at Texas A&M is still at a serious low.
I received a lot from this article. First off, this article demonstrates how different college is compared to high school. In high school you almost always get away with looking how ever you want. In college, the way you dress, is the way you express your self to your advisers and professors. Secondly, anyone can succeed with their mind put forward. No matter what kind of background a person has they can do anything. Last off, it surprised me how non-diverse A&M and UT are.
It's amazing how much can change a person just by changing the environment around you. I admire his boldness and courage. This definantly proves anything is possible if you work hard and never give up.
This article proves that everyone has to work hard in college, and that you might not always get the diversity that we have here at Cy-Woods in a college. It's very surprising, because, even though A&M and UT are still very undiverse, the situation would be a lot more challenging 30 years ago, and the schools have definitely made significant progress in diversifying their campuses.
This article is a great example of the fact that minorites, even those in poverty, can go to college if they apply themselves.Also this proves that college life prepares you for the business world not just in the case of manners, but also in the thinking of an adult.
This article shows that no matter where you come from you can still succeed, and it gives everyone hope. I think what A&M is doing is really great, with hard work you can achieve a lot.
In the article his work and dedication to college has put an idea in his head to become a better person all in general. I Think that A&M has done a great job for him proving that there is diversity but his determination exceeds overtime when there is a lot of work involved. He became a hard worker and has grown into a man, all his time and effort spent will be paid off soon enough.
This article reflects a true success story. It proves that no matter where you come from or what obstacles are put in your way, that anything is possible if you put in the time and the effort. I also think what Texas A&M and The University of Texas are doing to help diversify their universities is a great thing because it let's society know that it doesn't matter what color you are, you can still achieve great things.
I am a huge Aggie, and plan on attending that school myself. On the other hand, I do know that they have diversity issues and I'm really excited to hear that they are trying to work on it. I feel that Tadesse was a diamond in the rough. If more kids got chances like him, then I think the world would be a better place. Also, this truly was an inspirational story and I feel that it could encourage other kids from situations and areas like Tadesse to continue on with their educational careers.
This article tells the story of an African-American who went through many struggles but despite these obstacles, he persevered and graduated from Texas A&M. Although he is a minority at his University, people embraced him. He learned many important life values by attending such a diverse University.
The Article proves that it doesnt matter what race or ethnicity you are, but what you put to the plate. working hard will let you achieve great things. The guy in the article talked about how college gave him the experience of knowing what the real world is actually like, unlike before when he hanged out with his friends. With his college expeirences, good and bad. He got his act together such as (starting to dress in more appropiate attire). Also changing his mindset on himself and the future, that he has to come for himself.
This article shows that if you work hard enough you can achieve just about anything nomatter what your ethnicity is. It also shows that college can change a person by showing them what the real world is like and that it is not as forgiving as life at home is. If you don't prepare now, then college will be a very hard wake up call.
When you want to do something and really need it, then you will do it no matter what it costs. Being able to live your life with a nice degree is the best way now a days. A degree is needed and can change your complete life in many ways. It does not matter who you are, what you do, or anything. you can always do something that anyone can. Everyone is alike in many ways.
this article shows that your skin color or social status doesn't stop someone from going to college. this kid made a choice in his life to have a better life. hes an inspiration to many.
I have been wanting to go to Texas A&M since I started elementary. Both of my sisters and their husbands graduated there. I have seen the progress over the past eleven years with minorities. This article proves that both the university and the people in it are working to change. It may take some hard work but that is what it's all about.
This article shows how if you are a bright student that no matter what your past is the only thing that matters is that you work hard and push thru til the end.
This article proves that it doesn't matter where you come from to get a good education, it just matters how much work you are willing to put in. The Universities are putting in lots of money to create diversity in their environment. I believe that it shouldn't be that hard to become more diverse as a community and we can all learn about each other.
This article proves that no matter what situation or background that people are from anything is possible with hard work. To achieve something big all people have to do is give it their all and they can achieve anything.
This article proves that race does'nt define what you will do with your life. Jacob Tadesse shows us that with hard work and perseverance, you can achieve anything you want in life.
This article shows that it doesn't matter where you come from, what race you are, or even the amount of money you have, anything is possible if you put your mind and heart into it. Hard work comes a long way, and Jacob Tadesse is proof of that.
This Article show's no matter where you are from what race your are. Doesn't matter cause if you do what you need to do. Get your stuff done on time even if it is with some help. You can become a better person in life cause college does change your life style. You become older, learn more whats in life for you in the future.
This goes to show that no matter what socio-economic background one derives from in society, success derives from the intuition of the individual. This man proved it, and I believe that we can all learn from his experience.
if you work hard and persevere, one can achieve success. it doesn't matter what your background is, or economic status, or ethnicity, as long as you have the fire to continue you can get somewhere in life.
This program at A&M has given him a whole new life. One that would have been close to impossible to achieve by himself at the Thirdward. This will give many opportunities to other minorities to achieve what he has achieved.
This article shows me that it doesn’t matter what race you are, everyone deserves a good education. If you work hard enough, you can get anywhere you want to in life. Colleges should work harder on having more diversity on their campuses. Appearances do count for a lot in life; people should always keep that in mind.
This article and this guys story proves that no matter what color you are, what religion you are, or where you come from, theres opportunities for everybody. It also shows that if someone works hard enough, they can accomplish anything they want to, no matter what.
Many people today base their opinions about other people off of stereotypes and how people look or what race/ethnicity they are, only making the outside of a person be the judge of someone's characteristics. This article is a good example on how a one's ignorance about a person could mislead them to the wrong idea about someone, completely disregarding the fine print about someone. On the outside Tadesse looks like a typical teenager, but in the inside he's a quite scholarly and self-driven individual, thriving to show younger students of different races that anything could be achieved through courage.
I have learned through this article that judging people based on appearance is everywhere. You can’t expect to dress weird or act different from society normality’s. If you do you need to bring what is inside your head and heart to the table. You need to show the world what type of person you are and take full advantage of the opportunities provided to you as you succeed.
This article demonstrates that hard work and determination can be rewarding in the long run. Also, you can't succeed alone. You always need others like your friends and family to help you accomplish anything. Support and encouragement are important in reaching success. Oppurtunities are always out there for people, and it's your choice if you want to go out there and reach for them.
This article shows that really anything can be achieved with hard work and determination. Also that someone can really change during college. But it takes a lot of self determination to succeed, which is important to really go somewhere in life.
i have realized through this article that if your determination is strong then you will succede. even at college you will be judged on what you look like but you have to get past it and worry about what really is important.
This article demonstrates that you race does not establish how far you will get in life. It proves that if you do things to the best of your ability and try your hardest you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.
College is proven to be an experience in this articles, that shapes everyone individually. It shows that you have to strive for what you want and if you work hard enough, you will receive it. it proves to be a very important experience for the people in the article and I'm sure it applies to even those who weren't interviewed. -Courtney Brouillette
this is a story about a boy who was grown up on the wrong side of town and graduated third among his class at yates high school. he was accepted to Texas A&M under a scholarship program to diverse the college. He worked for success but did experince the hardship of namecalling and not feeling like he was welcome. But he graduated with a Bachelor degree in the industry. he studied to make something of him self and he did.

The young man believed he could and he did, he changed and he changed for the good AND because he wanted to. To believe is the key to great success. -Taryn Abercia
this story proves that college can change you in either a good way, or a bad way, but that depends on you. it also shows that no matter what ethnicity you are, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to.
Courage, strength, and perseveriance are key attributes to overcoming lifes obstacles and hardships. The accomplishments gained through this young mans experience...is evidence to many people that no matter your background or your family-life you can overcome personal struggles and keep pushing forward. Thanks to this article many people recieve inspiration from this personal triumph.
This article promotes sure inspiration for all students. Growing up a minority like myself it gives you more determination as well as courage to pursue your dreams. Even if your dreams are out of the box. Me personally I always wanted to go to the best college that I can go to simply because I wanted to be the best in my academic studies. Also I wanted to broaden my perspective of life. Of course I know I will have to overcome personal struggles, and battles but this article only confirms that with just a lot of hard work and consistency anything is possible.
This article states that ethnicity or the background of one person should not hinder the goal that they are reaching for. If they are willing to reach out and chase after it, they will surely obtain it.
This article says that no matter where you come from, you can always push yourself to new levels. You can reach new levels if your open to advice and you take advice from people that try to help you. You can achieve a lot of things if you are willing to make a change.
This article shows that it doesnt matter what ethical or racial background you come from. As long as you work hard and try your best, you can succeed in life and learn some life lessons on the way. It also shows that people can change in college.
The article is not only inspiring but riveting in the fact that it makes you realize that you can accomplish anything as long as you put your mind to it and realize that things arent just going to come easy but your going to have to work, and work hard to accomplish your goals.
this article is very inspiring to me. it shows that you have to work hard and that hard work will pay off. anything is possibvle if you put your mind to it .
This article shows just how much colleges these days are trying not to discriminate against the kids that dont have the resources that kids in our area have. The young man in this article has been given the ability to make something of himself. Even with the trials of wanting to stray from being an amazing student, the young man was given even more; by being sponsored by an adult mentor.
I believe this article is trying to point out that anyone can be sucessful in education, no matter what challenges that one would be faced with. Using hard work and making good choices, anyone can become a good student.
This article displays a great success story of an individual who pushed himself through the many challenges that life gave him. This story proves that with hard work and determination, you can accomplish anything if you have the ambition to succeed.
To me, this shows how valuable an education is, and how profoundly it can change one's life. I think the reason A&M lacks significant diversity is because some minority students do not yet see the importance of a college education, and therefore, do not strive to accomplish anything of value with their lives. If we show people the greatly a college degree can change their lives, and help those who cannot afford it, then A&M, along with all schools, will reflect the country's racial make-up.
this article proves that no matter who you are, you can achieve as much as you want, reach for the stars and you'll make it through hard work. This article shows how someone can push themselves and they will overcome any obstacle!
This article shows how even when adversity is thrown at you more than once if you persevere with hard work and high-spirits you can overcome almost anything.
This article shows that even though you come from nothing you can still become something no matter your age or ethnic background or what your parents have people of all walks of life come out of colleges every year and they become successful and achieve something in life and it all happens if you put your mind to it
This artile shows that even if you start with little, you can still earn something if you work hard enough for it. It also shows the determination and effort he had to get through it.
Discrimination is just an obstacle that you have to overcome to reach your goal; no matter where you come from, what happened to you, it's all your past, and all you can do is look to your future.
This article showed me that no matter who you are you can get an eductation. The guy from the article is completely changed from how he used to be when he first stared college .
Well to come out on top and make such a big change on ones own life has got to feel pretty good, to know that what you can achieve is only limited to what you tell yourself you are limited to.
This article show that anything is possible if you really want it and if you really set your mind to it. And no one is limited, anyone can do anything.
In this article I realize no matter who you are as long as you set your mind you can achieve anything in this world but you can't give up no matter what
