Initial Thoughts On The Topic For My Final Paper

There are two reasons why I joined this course. The first reason is because it fulfilled a writing intensive requirement which I need for the School of Arts and Science. The second reason is because it interested in me. This is my second class that questions and looks at the idea of College and what it entails and the agendas behind these different institutions. The first course I took was about Latinos in College and this is very interesting to me as a Latina in College. This course explained the difficulties and the experiences that most Hispanic students feel when coming into a University. I know for my family I was the first member to be admitted and attend a college and this is something very special. I am lucky enough to have the privilege to go to such a well known school such as Rutgers University. However, although that was a great experience on its own, I feel as though this course has already brought a different light to the experiences that college has on a Latina. Of course in the course I took we spoke about the effects of the cost of going to a University but it wasn't as thoroughly discussed and explained such as this class. I think it would be very interesting to write my paper on the effects of the cost of college on the Latino population. Watching and reading the course material really has broadened my thoughts about the rising cost of college and as a result i am much more aware of this growing issue that not only effects me but will potentially affect my kids and my younger family members in the near future.
