commentary #2

In my colleagues' blog, "Free Country", Jessica Pham writes a commentary about free college where she cares to explain how degrading it is to pay for a college tuition when people let alone can't even mage to take are of themselves.  I do believe that the idea of free college is amazing. Not having to worry about tuition and everyone being able to reach for their dreams without anything economically stopping them, no student loans, no worries but in reality it would be very difficult to achieve. I believe that if free college was provided for everyone then it would lower the degree bar which I believe would make everyone be more competitive with each other but it would also make the universities they wish to apply to have higher standards than normal. I believe that one day college will eventually be free with no cost, but for that to happen someone is going to need to rise up and explain how it's going to be managed but it cannot come from the government. Both of my brothers were accepted into colleges but they ended up not graduating because they could not afford to pay it off any longer and they were going to extreme debt already, fortunately they turned out to have extremely different stable jobs that they enjoy working in than what they majored in not because it was the only available position for them. I on the other hand am majoring for education which requires a bachelors degree, but thankfully for my good standing grades I was and I am able to move forwards without having to worry as much about my tuition which makes me extremely lucky. I believe that since we are not able to be available to free college just yet, I believe people should just push themselves to get recognized so that way more opportunities could be given to them.
