Hold ourselves and scholars to higher standards. If we are not all there, we can work together to support each other to get where we want.  We have to hold scholars accountable and have high expectations while supporting them and not letting them give up as easily as they tend to at times.

I love to find interesting stories of successful people that after a long struggle became wonderful professionals. I believe that sharing stories of real people who mirror similar life situations as our students can ignite the desire for a change. I always share my own story of poverty and struggle, and how coming from a single parent family is not an obstacle to decide your own pathway to success.

My son went into the workforce his junior year in high school at Chick-fil-A. He had $5,000 saved for a down payment on a car (by age 18) he is currently paying for for himself. He took a year off after high school, and he's been putting himself through college classes online. with the goal of an associate's degree in business He has over $15,000 in his savings account. He is currently in the management training program for Raising Cane's in League City, soon to transfer to the Wallisville location. So, no. Not everyone needs to go straight to college.

I think we should start back the college T-shirts on Thursdays and we can have a college day every month where we have college organizations come to the school and perform or discuss college life. It will also be nice to allow them to visit college campuses as well.

Maybe to break the cycles that are holding them back:

Field trips - Many of our students have not left their neighborhoods, even to the most basic things (example, I had students in Miami that had never been to the beach, never seen an ocean animal, never been to a play or concert, etc.).

Research shows that students who vacation are more likely to have higher test scores as well as later access to job opportunities. Although we cannot take them on full vacations, we can take them to see things, people, and places that will expose them to want to leave their neighborhoods.

Electives/ Clubs - Personally, I was a band nerd. I was in every band class I could be in. I loved drama. I loved art. These were activities that kept me involved in school (during AND after) and gave me opportunities to do things I never would have done if not for these activities (Grammy's event, concerts, plays, competitions, All-State band & out of county trips, etc.). Having more electives & clubs exposes students to other activities that keep their academics up, keep them involved in the campus, and keep them out of trouble. This also gives them the exposure to new people and populations which builds skills they would need, whether it be going to college, military, or into a career.

I believe I can better prepare my students for College by discussing the values of an College Degree to their life. I believe the biggest hurdles for most students for College is Finances and necessity of an education. We as teachers should not only prepare them in the classroom for the real life. I have plenty of students who deter from preparing for college within the classroom because they are afraid they can not afford it and also they really do not know the true value it can bring to your life.

More students need to be exposed to what happens after high school. I believe that if  we expose our students to not  just college, but vocational training as well.

Collaboration with the community also would work when we want to "break the cycle."

When we are meeting with students to discuss their post-secondary goals after high school we can really have deeper conversations about what career path the students will pursue.  We can share information about colleges/universities and what the expectations are of college students.  We can share what college life looks like.

College Visits- Schedule college visits where students can visit colleges campuses and see first hand what it looks like.

I found and used a book called "First in the Family" that is filled with stories of young adults who were the first in their families to go to a 2 yr or 4 yr college - some were drop outs, most/all from difficult home environments - it allowed the students to see that they too could do it - it allowed me a chance to have a conversation - it starts with a conversation - they won't consider it if a conversation is not had and a support group is not there for them
