factories, as night porters, as maintenance workers and anything else they could find in order to survive.

I thought for sure after high school I would go directly to college but things didn’t turn out that way. In my senior year at high school, I started to slack off and hang out with the wrong crowd; which in turn caused me to fall behind on my classes and not graduate on time. After not being…

necessarily think about all of the debt they’ll be in because of student loans. Most good paying jobs require some sort of college degree, but what if somebody can’t afford college tuition? College classes can be very expensive and daunting, causing high school graduates to doublethink about whether or not they want to pursue a career in college. “Free college” seems to be the answer; but where will the funding for free college come from?

Students play the numbers in their head to see what grade they get so they don’t fail the course and have to go to summer school. Now, teachers run after their students to get them to turn in work so that they pass.
