Blog #10 Abstract & Works Cited
Abstract:
An education from college can provide a path out of the poverty line for most students, but there is indeed a difference between how this is witnessed between the high and low-income college students. There have been low-income students in selected educational institutions that have reported some feeling of alienation, isolation, and marginalization. However, it may be necessary that the voices of the low-income students who have successfully navigated the experience of college be part of the research in order to properly understand the gap between the high and low-income students (Garriga and Keightley). This gap has to be reduced to promote income equality and better employability among youth throughout all communities whether their income is high or low. These studies will be applying the strengths-based theoretical framework in looking at the topic and will be examining the positive environmental and personal protective factor that has been helping students to succeed even with the different financial circumstances.
