Dear President Barack Obama,
I am here to open my opinions to your two-year college plan allowing it to be free with a minimum GPA of a 2.5. It is a wonderful proposal, that you’re very best interested to uphold our education for the public. I am glad that you announced Community College free for two years if the U.S citizens are willing to work towards that goals. I like the idea of willing to strive and work hard for our goals, just like the American Dream. Hearing this has brought up many teachers and students attentions, narrowing the spotlight to middle and low income class students that cannot fully support themselves for their education or having any guidance to what they want to pursue in their career. Putting aside community colleges free for two years, have you thought about reforming the education policy and budget? Mrs. President Obama, you have been somewhat obscure about you community college speech and plans what are you really going to bring to the table for us citizens. I would want to know hypothetically speaking, if the bill did pass and Community College was free for two years, the general population of the U.S would want to send their kids to community college because it is for free. This would create a big problem over flooding the community college systems and creating a dramatic effect on the U.C systems. This could potentially worry me as a disabled hearing student. There won’t be enough support for people like me that has needs in able to succeed in life. Our country is not the top five highest education in the world anymore Mrs. Barack Obama like it once was. Due to the lack of funding for education is not being well funded or not being funded enough, cutting off education accessibility today, it will definitely become an economic viability for tomorrow or the next decades. As I was roaming around the web I found this called Washington times, I have read that we only spend 2% on education in America, which I think it is extremely absurd! We spend one fifth of our GDP towards defense budget, which gets a whopping 20% budget of the economy all for itself. Is this really a country you want to continue to live in knowing that, we spend ten times as much on defense and military for preparing for war then investing in education? Where we forget to educate the next generations because we are too busy building a massive military? Our country doesn’t want a huge Army, we want investment towards education so the country we could provide the better opportunities for others. I believe this country is ready, to recommit ourselves again Mrs. Obama, and we need seize the opportunities to equalize for all citizens. I think you should really aggressively push this proposal because you already have seen how many bright students that graduated for College can’t even bring out the best opportunities for others due to the lack of spending and debates of our military budget and etc.
Mrs. Obama I am glad that you had public announce to us citizens and towards the congress up this wonderful proposal that you want to preserve more for the next generations and upcoming college students. I could see this program would ease the pain of our society because having an associate’s degree earn 20,000 more than a high school student, which is great! You already have seen how many bright students that graduated for College cannot get a high-paying job that they have worked hard for can’t pay for their loans or even use their degree in that major field. Knowing that there is 9 Million community college students will be benefit to this new Obama's Plan with an average GPA, The cost for plan for a 10 year education plan would be 80 million dollars with states splitting the cost. I think we should invest and spend more in our beloved country, so we could invest in bright young individuals. We know that America can climb up to be in top country ranks in education, which will create a successful economy and there won’t be a gap between poor to high class citizens as we really see it now in our economy. We all know that education is the key to our future, so please I urged you to “catapult” the bill as hard as you can to force or persuade to make the congress to meet our ends of this proposal.
Sincerely,
Nicholas Nguyen
