I got this from a 16-year-old young man who wishes to remain anonymous and am posting it as it came to me without edits or redactions.
I asked his permission to print this and he was fine with that with just that one stipulation, so please consider his thoughts on Tuesday's election. TD
We all want to be successful; success drives all of us, I know that it drives me. I always want to be the best, and I want to be prepared for my future, so that I can be successful. In America, a good education is possible and vital to get, but it is becoming harder and harder to reach, and getting more and more expensive to obtain. Why? Our education system has been neglected for years, and is in desperate need of reform. No one has a better plan for education reform than Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, whose state is a leader in education.
Governor Romney realizes that we will perform better when we are in comfortable learning environments. Part of his reform allows students to choose the school they want to attend, and not have to worry about any financial aid a student might be receiving, which would transfer along with the student. It is also important that students know which schools to attend; this is why Governor Romney would make it mandatory for schools to take a test, and create a school “report card.” Schools that are successful will be rewarded, while under-performing schools would be remedied. Mitt Romney’s reform would also allow superintendents to relieve under-performing teachers of duty. All of these changes will help us, students, reach a higher level of success.
A major component of success is a college education. With jobs becoming harder and harder to get, it is increasingly more important to have a college education, but with tuition costs soaring higher and higher it is increasingly harder to obtain. For us to be a successful work force the sky high level of tuition costs need to be brought down. The way to bring down tuition is to put the Federal Financial Aid Program on a diet. The reason an action like this is necessary is because the Federal Financial Aid Programs have given out so much money, that colleges have bloated tuition rates. So by lowering the amount of Federal Financial Aid granted to students, Mitt Romney plans to fight high tuition rates. To replace Federal student loans, Governor Romney wants schools to cooperate with local banks for student loans, which will help the economy, and will help more students become successful.
If you ask a group of students if they want to go to college, I bet at least 80% of them will say that they want to, and I know that if you asked them if they wanted to be successful all of them would say that they would. A key to success is a good education, but for students to be successful and receive the good education that they require we need to drastically reform our education system. There is no feeling like being successful, like graduating from school, and we all want to feels this, this is why we need to reform or education system. Governor Mitt Romney has a plan for our education system, which will help everyone be successful, his plans have helped his state become one of the best states in the country, and he can do the same for us. So vote to be successful and vote for Mitt Romney for President.
