Mr. Jemmott, I wish you much success in your future! As a CUNY graduate, I’m glad to hear you go to Queens College. The City University of New York offers opportunity to all those who rise to the challenge, and I believe you did.
Xand makes several reasonable points. However, there are countless resources, many of them free of charge, that are available to anyone and everyone who is applying to a college. For the low income students who are excelling in their high schools, colleges will seek out those students and make them offers which would be practically impossible to refuse. For the below-average and marginal students, there is no shame in attending a local community college and gaining the requisite background/resources to navigate the complexities of college financial aid, etc. Small steps always come before big steps.
One of my friends, a single mom who had left an abusive husband, had he audacity to try to go to college and improve her life while she was collecting federal benefits. The benefits programs imposed requirements on her that nearly derailed her college education. At one point, she had to go to a mandatory benefits “training” that was the exact same week as finals at school, and no amount of pleading could get the training rescheduled. Most of her state college professors worked with her needs, but she failed and had to retake one class because she couldn’t take the final at the appointed time
I think these comments are effective cause the writers achieved moves , and they actually use actual numbers and experience examples to show the reality in America. The people can’t afford the titution and the reason why school need to take care of the poor students, how the low fees help the poor student in real life.
