Post 5 "An Education in Citizenship" (Edited)

Lately in the United States higher education tuition cost has been the subject of many debates and issues in the Senate and the Camera of representatives. Recently a bill was passed by vote in the state of Illinois which would reduce this cost for students who live into this state, according to an article published in the "New York Post" titled "An Education in Citizenship".  This bill leaves out all the students who do not live there. The other side thinks that this vote is unreasonable and shouldn't be. I think the right of education must be fear and equal for all the students who live into this nation, regardless their immigration status.
          In my opinion, this bill encourages the division in the right of education mostly when students have gotten an elementary and high school education without questioning regarding their immigration status. It is like to give the initialization and later leave them by themselves. A friend of mine from my country the Dominican Republic who came here at the age of 6 years old, learned English as a first language and also she adopted American culture while she was joining an English high school where she got a very good grades, enough to get an scholarship to go to any high standard colleges in the United States, but her legal status stuck her.
 Politicians all the times, are looking for keep their seats, they do not really care about what is good for  people, they just want be seen like they are doing right, trying to segment their jurisdiction where live people who are able to vote for them in the future, so they can keep their positions and power.   
         It is urgent to do laws all over the United States, which allowed all the rights to all the people who want to do the right thing by getting an education and make this country bigger and powerful.


       As Anais (my friend) there are many good students and hardworking people who get unfairly stuck by their immigration status. They are excluded of their rights therefore they could not develop their potential at all.
       Lastly I want to say that people must keep fighting for the equality of rights for students all over the world, because, I think, this is a worldwide issue. An education is the only way people can live a better and constructive life and this world can improve.

Hi Zolia, I was given an assignment to analize your essay in class. After reading the two essays you wrote, I must say that the revised essay is a bit better put toghetter then the first, although it still needs some work. As for the changes you have made, in your introductory paragraph you did state the summary and u did give your opinion and thesis could of been explained a little more. For the body paragraphs I noticed that you have 5 different paragraphs, but they seem more like sentences. Try and covert them into paragraths with abour 6 sentences before indenting to the next paragraph. You did have reasons and examples indicating to the agreement in your introductory paragraph,but try and use more details. A little advise from me, stay away from so many commas and convert into sentences. Detail the conclusion some more. Sounds good, but can be detailed better. Overall keep writing girl! You can do it!
