Dear education,
It’s my mom’s dream to see me graduate, and I want to make her proud.
But I wonder why you are so damn expensive.
I wasted my money on books when I could have just searched the internet,
Even tik tok helps me to comprehend complicated topics.
It saddens me that people pay so much money for you only to end up being miserable.
I do not want to finish college and work for the rest of my life at some factory.
And no this is not to say shame on those who don’t have a career,
But it would devastate me to graduate and not work within my career.
I look at my daughter and think about how I want to be an inspiration for her.
There are days where you give me a headache,
I sometimes can’t understand the points professors are trying to make during lectures.
I also wonder why you are making me take courses irrelevant to my career.
Listen, I want to be a WRITER, and I thought I would be done with math
since I got a A on it in high school. I want courses that cause so much sparks within me.
I wish you could understand that we students have so much to deal with and
I only wish for you to understand that we all want to get an education that won’t make us regretful.

"Every time I sit down to start my Dissertation, I get horrible dreams. I wanted help, and Research prospect { https://www.researchprospect.com} came to the rescue. I simply can’t thank them enough for supporting me with their education."
What a wonderful thought!
You speak so many truths.
I feel for you and I agree!! I am a long-time lover of learning and would have happily remained a college student just absorbing it all, but there is so much wrong with our educational system. We don't need renaissance graduates anymore unless that is your goal. It should be affordable and relevant. I hope I see progressive changes in my lifetime. Good luck to you!! Great piece!
I feel your angst!
😩❤️. This is such a good topic for this!! 👏
