In Tough’s point of view, students from low-income family take more time to graduate from a four year college. He said that “rich students graduate from college at much higher rates than low-income students do.” I agreed with his argument, I believe that the rate of graduation between rich student and poor students is high because almost all rich students don't have to work to pay for their college and have less problem on their mind to deal with. For example a lot of low-income student drop off from college due to problems happening in their lives like money and others. they can't handle working a full time job and manage school all at once, and still keep up with the his class mates. I am a full time worker so I know how difficult is to keep up with everything and complete all the school work. I get home tired and the only thing I want to do is sleep but I have to complete my school work so I create I school work time plan to help me keep organized and have all my work done on time.
