The article "The Impossible Drama?" is about students that go to college that can barely pay tuition, clothing, phone bills or car insurance. The students are working so much and a lot of them are working over time that they can barely find time to study, and the just drop out. The students work too many hours to even think about studying that most of them end up with a D by the end of the college semester. So many kids are having to work their way through college because the economy is so bad that the parents or guardians can't pay for their tuition or books that they students have to pay for it all. They have to work over time to pay for only tuition and books and don't have enough money for anything else important. They can't even find to time to study.

The financial aid is going up so high that students are unable to pay for it. Almost every year the financial aid goes up at least 69%. The financial aid is getting so bad that students are able to keep up the loans that they have to quit college and still have to work on paying it off. And they also have to worry about making enough money so that when they go back into college they won't have to worry about working they can just focus on studying. The most important thing that can be done to lower the dropout rate is to lower the rates for going to college. The dropout rate is 1922-93, 65%.


How I plan on paying for college is first of all try and keep my grades up as high as I can to try and get Bright Futures. I will also try and get a Scholarship so that way I can focus on my studies. I will also try my hardest to keep up my GPA average so that I will be able to get a student loan so that way I won't have to worry about paying off my loans so much. In my opinion I think that the college rates to take a year of class is ridiculous. It's not right to make students pay that much and score low grades because they don't have enough time to study because they are trying to focus on getting enough money to stay in college. In conclusion, the paying rates for college should be lowered so that students will be able to actually study for their classes instead of failing to pay off loans.
