    After living in Barrio Logan for nearly my entire life, I have seen families struggle to make ends meet. My mother is currently raising my three younger brothers on less than $25,000 a year. To put that into perspective, that is roughly about $6,500 per person. As frustrating as it is to see the conditions my family is in, I cannot complain, at least not to my best friend Alexis.

    Front my points of view, the benefits of attending college are manifold. According to the U.S Census bureau, a “Bachelor’s Degree holder earns twice as much in a lifetime as a high school graduate”. Even better, there are more job options available to choose from, instead of having limited places in the workforce to work for owing to the fact that we never attended college.
