"Tuition"

 A few years ago there was a decent price in a year of education and even better cost per semester/ quarter but with each day there seems to be a recent push to capitalize on parents, students, and incoming students. It amazes me how the price jumped from 5 grand per semester and maybe 6-7 grand for a private university in the last 10 to 15 years. To me it felt that education used to be a priority with a high promise of making it in a particular field that is your passion and the thought of it subsiding is ridiculous. College is not what I thought it would be and its not even close but learning and bettering myself has kept me going and think outside the box to pass down the knowledge for the younger ones around me and the all the others coming after them. Helping them with how things work for all colleges but personally prefer them to go to public universities because of the cost, atmosphere, and people.
