There are so many  reasons leading up to the differences in graduation rates is because of money and College preparedness. Money has a big impact on our everyday life we don’t notice. If you take a moment and look around we use the money for so many things even to stay alive. Therefore when you look up colleges you want to go to and see the price you get nervous on how to pay it. Yes there are Scholarships And yes there is financial aid but sometimes these things don't cover the full payment so you have to come out of pocket. Even with that, you can’t always afford it. So when a person cant afford college they end up dropping out and doing something else in their life. When it comes to college preparedness it can do with high school, mindset, or even household. When a person is beginning to come from high school the teachers don’t prepare us it more of us doing it on our own. That’s with learning how to manage our time on our own. Also mindset and household play a big impact. Some people fall into depression not able to get their minds right to do the work. With the household, you never know what a person goes through once they step in the house, and with all of these things, I feel as it can make a person drop out because they don’t want to deal with the stress or not able to do the work. So With college preparedness and having to do with mindset household can take a big part in the rates of graduation also money plays a big role with most graduation rates since people are not able to pay the funds for college that they want to go to or already go to.

 Anhala Woodbine 1101 English  9/20/2020 Is Cheerleading An Actual Sport?  When you think of cheerleading, do you ever think of it as a sport?   I know I do, most people don't think of it as a sport, but it plays so many roles. When cheerleading first started, it was all men in the 1800s. They didn't allow women until 1923. At first, cheerleading was not a sport just a crowd cheering on a football team. Over time it started to grow larger, they started to teach students more complicated routines, stunts, and jumps. This event made All-Star a sport. They begin to focus more on competition and athletic training. Cheerleaders do so much we barely notice, they carry their teammates as they do flips, or even throw them up in the air. As you see other sports at practice everyday cheerleaders are there as well practicing on they stunt, jumps, flips, and dances. When it comes to competition cheerleading, you have to make sure you are sharp that your dance and stunts are way different f

  When you wake up in the morning, do you grab your phone and go straight to social media?  There are a lot of people who do that on a daily basis and don’t even notice it.  We are so stuck on what we receive from social media that sometimes we begin to think of it as the truth. The article “Americans Who Mainly Get Their News on Social Media Are Less Engaged, Less Knowledgeable by BY AMY MITCHELL, MARK JURKOWITZ, J. BAXTER OLIPHANT, and ELISA SHEARER. Where it states” ...These U.S. adults, for instance, tend to be less likely than other news consumers to closely follow major news stories, such as the coronavirus outbreak and the 2020 presidential election.”.  This is showing us the news that is reposted on social media and we began to believe that it is true.  We see others posting about their opinion and we get caught up with other people agreeing, thinking that they know all the facts, in all honesty, no one does.  This statement also shows us that we rely more on people’s statement

The song stand by me has been remade in so many different ways but with this song and the video, it changes the whole perspective.  The song “Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World” which was Published November 6, 2008.  The main purpose is to bring everyone closer, but if we look more into it you will see so many different cultures, you will see they are all playing music on the street and all dress differently.  The relationship between the band playing seems as if they are connected.  As the song plays in the beginning you will see a man singing alone but also he has every instrument he needs set up to sing the song.  This is similar to the other band players because what they can relate to is the instruments that they are using and playing.  You see that they are all using headphones.  This was all recorded from one person, it took this person over several years to get this whole video done.  Just because they had to fly to every state and country that was listed
