Everyone always hears about all the college dropouts. Statistics show that 1 out of every 4 people will drop out of college by there sophomore year. Even more surprising is that 1/2 of college students wont complete their degree after their sophomore year or will leave to complete it elsewhere. This article discusses one guys struggle to stay in college. He was your typical straight A student, president of everything, star athlete type of guy. However, he dropped out of college before finishing his first semester. In this article he shares his struggles of how he dropped out, why he went back, and gives advice to those entering college. One thing I found interesting in this article besides the 6 reasons it lists for dropping out, was that most of the drop out students are not permanent; many of them decided to go back to school later in life. A lot of times when we talked about college drop out rate people don't consider the statistics on how many of them go back and complete their degree.
