   In a perfect world, every student and teacher would work together to achieve the main goal or purpose which is to have students succeed in the 2- or 4-year program that relates to their career choice. College can be described as a four way stop in a sense. Even though each car goes in different directions they all have to work together to make sure no one crashes. The same concept can be put into school, with each car being a different part different part a student’s educational environment. Every student and teacher need to have a better understanding that we all share a life outside of the classroom. According to an article from the U.S. National Library of Medicine, “There are different theories of motivation, some focus on quantity of motivation and others on quality. Quantity of motivation could be high or low. Quality of motivation depends on whether the source of motivation is internal or external” (Kusurkar). Motivational theory is much deeper than just feelings, it all relates to outside sources curated to everyone’s different lives. The theory of a person’s motivations can be subjected into 2 categories, your intrinsic and extrinsic motivations. An article that better explains these which states, “Intrinsic motivation refers to doing something because one is inherently interested in the task or activity at hand. They are not concerned with external rewards or recognition, but rather, the drive is based upon enjoying the activity itself” (Bontempi). She describes your inner motivations to be students’ inner goals and concerns when it comes to school. The second half of their motivations come from external sources like teachers and other students or friends. Either way, being able to stay fully motivated in learning environments takes both the internal and external reward. Motivation can be given in any form. The slightest compliment or recognition from a teacher can be the difference of how a student treats a teacher and classroom. Having a better idea of each other’s lives can be the difference of understanding behaviors from students.    

If teachers and staff just showed the slightest increase in interest of students, motivational values can change juristically. People also understand that some staff believe that they do not need to change anything, they think that the new batch of students will come and only the strong and willing will make it through their programs. Although this is the sad truth in some cases, with further increases of dropout rates and opportunities that require no degree more schools will feel the effect of not acting sooner on the problem at hand. Schools will begin to see less students applying and a decrease in graduation rates as this is a strong key to a successful school. With all of this information found a change in the system is needed and and implementing motivational values will be more beneficial for everyone involved.
