1. Case Study
Alisha is a 22-year-old mother of a two-year-old girl named
Sophie. Alisha was married at 19 and had her daughter when she
was 20. Alisha's husband, her high school sweetheart, was
killed in a car accident 11 months ago. Alicia lives alone with
her daughter, but does have family nearby to babysit while
Alisha works and attends classes at a community college. She is
in the second semester of her freshman year. Alisha has always
wanted to be nurse and decided to pursue her degree after her
husband died. She wants a better life for herself, and wants to
set a good example for Sophie.
During her first semester she struggled in her classes, earning
two D's and one C. Just three weeks into this semester, Alicia is
already falling behind. She finds it hard to focus on schoolwork
and missed several classes when she could not find a babysitter.
Her English Composition instructor called Alicia when he
discovered that she submitted a paper that had been submitted
by another student the previous semester. During the
conversation, Alisha admitted that she had plagiarized because
she was feeling overwhelmed and was not prepared for the
challenges of school. During the conversation, she began to cry
and said, "I didn't know it would be this hard. I feel like such a
failure for my daughter, and I miss my husband." She told her
professor that she was going to call an academic counselor and
drop out. The instructor believes that Alisha is fully capable but
is having a rough time adjusting to all the changes in her life.
He is thinking about how to work with the counselor and other
campus support services to help Alisha and keep her from
withdrawing.
