“The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.” ¯ Thomas A. Edison Now, more than ever, college is accessible to people. Anyone can walk onto a community college campus and begin his or her educational career regardless of gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, and previous education.

Consider roaming around campus or browsing on the University website to investigate the types of resources we offer here at the University. You are not required to quote any sources or interview anyone, but a well-written essay will demonstrate knowledge of the types of resources a college offers and how a strong student makes use of those resources. -Be a MINIMUM of three (3) full pages -Be a minimum of 5 paragraphs -Be typed and double-spaced -No 2nd person: you I already sent two pages of the three, but I didn't want to choose editing because I still need one more page and editing also.
