The world looks at it today as you will not get anywhere without your education, college is for everyone and C’s get degrees.

The evidence the writer uses to elaborate on this specific statement is that one of his students was the one that told him these three words. It is explained in this paragraph that the educators of the students really fight the toughest battle because they have to try and get students to actually want to learn and not just going through the motions to get by. It is common that students have no desire to learn the material they need and in the end our satisfied with their C degree and also hope that they get a job that pays well and they are comfortable with it.

It will have you at a standing point where you only have a few options whereas if students tend to achieve higher they can have bigger and better opportunities than the ones that they have created. The writer is not stating that it is wrong to get a degree with C’s but there is much more than just getting a C in school when there could be something else in the work field that could do you more justice than to have a college education. The examples the writer uses in this article are quoted so the readers will have a clear understanding at what
