Read the excerpt from Pat Mora’s essay "The Leader in the Mirror."
I hoped that most of the students were going to enroll in college. The confetti would be for their private celebrations, those solitary moments when they had passed a test that worried them, finished a difficult paper at 2 A. M., found a summer internship. Sometimes, even when no one else is around, it’s important to celebrate when we have struggled and succeeded—to sprinkle a little confetti on our own heads.
Now read the excerpt from the article "Career Planning for High Schoolers."
About two-thirds of high school graduates from the class of 2013 enrolled in college that fall, according to BLS: 42 percent in baccalaureate (4-year) colleges and 24 percent in 2-year schools. Of the remaining one-third of 2013 graduates, who opted not to go to college, 74 percent entered the labor force.
College-bound high school graduates may not know it, but BLS data show that wages are usually higher, and unemployment rates lower, for people who continue their education after high school.
How are the two excerpts different?
O The essay encourages students to celebrate small accomplishments during college, while the article uses facts and numbers to show how many students attend college.
- The essay uses facts and numbers to show the importance of attending college, while the article shares personal examples of students in college.
- The essay is written by someone who does not think college is important, while the article is written by someone who encourages college education.
- The essay is written by someone who encourages college education, while the article is written by someone who encourages students to enter the labor force.
