a kosa gratuated from public university
I almost never write about controversial events, because no matter what position you take, you end up attacked by one side or the other… and I have to say that many times with arguments that make me too lazy to pay attention to them and/or respond.
But one of the things that never ceases to amaze me is how easily we can point out absolutely everything bad that can be taken from anything and at the same time forget all the good it may have…just because I got tired of hearing massively about the flip-flop wearing, anti-social and unruly people that “come out of UCR”, without considering the professionals, successful members of the workforce who keep this country “functioning”, I can’t help but tell my story…
As they say out there, I have always been “a nerd”, meaning that studying has always come naturally to me, but if my parents had to pay for my higher education, no matter how much we wanted it, I doubt very much that we would have achieved it, it simply would not have been within our possibilities.
But thanks to UCR, I was able to study and not only did I almost not have to pay for my studies, the University practically paid me to study, and offered me a job (as an assistant) to round up the five that I needed to survive 4 years… and on top of that, the quality of the professionals it creates is so famous that since I was in my first year, I had a job for my “vacations” and since I left the “U” I have had where to earn a living as a professional.
The point is that thanks to my education, this nation receives a little something from my taxes, and it prevented me from being one of those who have to live on the street and so many other problems that come with not having the same luck, and of course the advantages expand to my family…in this case, I know that it was not just a better life for me but also for my parents…
Believe me, it feels so good to know that “someone” has faith in you… that “someone” is willing to give you the necessary tools to create and grow, to know that my financial capabilities at that time didn’t matter… but my potential for the future did and well, it was a great investment in me and it was 21 years of waiting… but according to my calculations, every cent was worth it and the best part is that like this story, I’m sure thousands and thousands are repeated… anyway… once again my intention is not to argue whether or not FEES… only that people also think about what this country would be without graduates from UCR and other public universities…
