Dear Editor:

Do you know how it feels when your kids have a big dreams (sic) and they need to go to college as they get older, but you can’t afford it and you don’t want to crush their dreams?

I think that college prices should be lowered so that people can have a good job, so that people can earn good money, and so that people don’t end up on the streets.

First of all, poor people can’t get to pay bills. Second of all, people who can’t afford college sometimes have to work at a place that doesn’t pay a lot of money. In addition, people who can’t afford college sometimes end up on the streets because so many jobs involve college degrees.

For all these reasons, it would be a big help for me and other people who can’t afford college if we lower college prices.
