Complete your Educational Plan and/or Meet with a Counselor to do your PlanIf you have already met with a counselor, you don’t have to meet with one again. But, make sure you upload your Educational Plan here. In addition to the courses you are currently taking, you will want to list all future semesters until you meet your goal to either transfer or graduate. Here are two types you can download to fill out. You do not have to be a Cuyamaca College student to fill out an Educational Plan. High School students, university students, and/or Grossmont students can all do a CEP that lists the classes they plan on taking each semester until they graduate (degree or certificate) or transfer.

This is the form we use at Cuyamaca. If you are at another college, please use their form. You can also create your own form. What I am looking for is a semester by semester breakdown with classes you plan to take. Classes can include work experience, internships or part time jobs. This is your educational plan so you put what you plan to do. There is not a wrong way in filling this out, using another college form, or creating your own form.
Reminder: If you are at another college, school or university, use your counseling office at your location and what works best for you in your educational and career planning. You don’t have to make an appointment if you already have an Educational Plan or if you can fill it out on your own!

Overview:
The following sources reflect the period of World War I. Both the Donald Fraser and Alan Seeger sources look at trench warfare and critique the “beauty” of fighting in this war, as newspapers and recruiters hype the importance of the war without discussing the ramifications of “shell shock” facing soldiers. In Langston Hughes poem Let America Be America Again he discusses the failed promise of the “American” dream especially for Blacks and lower classes whites and immigrants. W.E.B. DuBois’ Returning Soldiers describes the continued fight for Democracy Blacks are facing returning from the European trenches to the lynch trees of the USA. He argues that Blacks need to continue to fight for Democracy even in the face of opposition in the USA. In the letter written by Native American nurse Lutiant Van Wert, she discusses her experience on the front lines of this pandemic and her feelings towards the Boarding School officials that forced their Americanization program on her.
