Costa 2 Tiago Costa Jason Elznic Composition II 23 April 2021 As time went by, it became more and more normal for students to go to university straight from high school. Everyone knows about the pressure that is about to form and have all those doubts in mind; which course should you take? where are you going to college? Would you like to get a scholarship? Unfortunately, these days, it is normal for students not to finish college and despite all these things, money is the real name of the problem. For those who don’t play some kind of sport, that could be a possibility. With low rates of college completion, government should invest in community college programs. It could help in order to get students an easier way to get a degree without getting on debt. When people think about how much money will coast to implement a government plan to offer accessible college coast, they might don’t understand how it could help people and the country itself. Buchanan and Wilson say on their article about free community colleges that internationally, the U.S. college completion rate has declined and the proportion of young adults with an associate degree has declined in comparison to other developed countries (Field, 12). With that being said, we can conclude that the future depends on college completion rates. Almost all employment needs at least one single degree while others require even more completed education. For students, going to college is costing way too more than it supposed to be and like other stuffs in life, if we can’t effort, we can’t buy it so we start to get in debt because we are spending far more money than we have. How am I supposed to tell someone to don’t invest in his future? He knows how a degree can make a difference when finding a job and start a career so he just jumps into debt. Imagine how many people, especially poor, would be helped in order to complete college. Developing a plan to get those who can’t afford to pay college, and make them complete college without change of get a huge debt. On “Students Loan Debt: 2020 Statistics and Outlook” we can see that the amount of students’ loan “reached an all-time high” at $1.57 trillion. In the article “College Completion Gaps Between Blacks and Whites: What Accounts for Regional Differences?”, Kodrzycki, will explore reasons for the gaps between Blacks and Whites on college attendance and completion. Showing the big gap that exist. If the theme Free Community College, people unfortunately can’t understand how great this could be. It is all about give chance to better opportunities for those who don’t have a favorable background. A chance to fight a fair fight with everybody else in society. Even people who thinks it is already too late.

Community colleges are critical for upward mobility, discovering your interests and strengths, and showing you how to achieve your goals and transform the future of your family for generations. Fear mongers have dumbed down community colleges by shouting, "We can't be everything to everybody," although they are wrong. If we're driven by the quest for fact, fairness, equity, and opportunity, that's exactly what we'll do. P.
