School I: Life Story and Universities I

school i: Why should our society subsidize them I've never understood this argument, but that may have something to do with my own life story, according to Rabble. My parents were refugees from Somalia, and I am a first-generation university student in Canada. I've been told that free tuition is "wrong", or "self-interested." Why Because those who get to college or university are already privileged. After I graduated high school I got rid of my entrance letters to universities I had applied to. I was resigned to the reality that I could never afford post-secondary education, even with public loans. I started a full-time job that summer and took over the role as primary breadwinner for our family. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
