Education is something a lot of people strive for because it can bring forth many opportunities in one's life. America has in-state and out-of-state tuition, out-of-state tuition being more expensive. In "An Education In Citizenship" an excerpt from Chicago Tribune. It explains an ordeal of Illegal Immigrants able to go to college and only having to pay in-state tuition. A lot of people disagree of this privilege to an expensive and valuable benefit while having no Legal right to be in the country. But I think Illegal Immigrants should be allowed this privilege.
My aunt came to this country around 7 years ago, she had a son and a Low-income job. She started attending LaGuardia Community College to obtain a good career in her life. Looking back I remember how hard she studied and how committed she was. Thanks to some financial-aid she graduated and has a career as an assistant teacher now. She persevered and accomplished her goals because she was able to take classes without being a citizen.
I believe one's determination should tell how much help someone receives financially. I read an article in the "New York Times" discussing how it was taking longer times to accomplish their degrees due to laziness and failing, Thus spending more government money. Why shouldn't determined Immigrants receive education while others waste their money and not gain any knowledge?
People's problem with this is that Immigrants pay the same money. Out-of-state might be too expensive for them though. Education should never be something denied just because someone isn't a citizen. Everyone deserves the same treatment and opportunities.
I'm thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.
