I have said it a thousand times and I will say it again. “Nickel and Dimed” is the best book to convey the United States’ problems with poverty and classes. The worst part about falling into the impoverished faction is you will not be able to get yourself out of it. The only way out is a college education. How can you hold a minimum wage job and go to college? The only way to prevent to prevent falling into the cycle is get a college education after high school. This is a Susie Sunshine answer to a much bigger problem though. Most of the lower class does not know how to get into a “decent” college, none the less, a college at all. The few answers to the problem are financial aid (difficult to get an adequate amount) and more importantly, scholarship money.
One of the many options for minority scholarships is The Posses Foundation. The gist of The Posses Foundation is they offer ten worthy students scholarships into the same college so that they can depend on each other for moral support. The students go through a rigorous eight month long training program to prepare them for the actual difficulties of college. I’m excited to endorse the Posses Foundation as an outlet for gaining success in America because it hit all the points that I think are important in accomplishing a beneficial life.

I really like the foundation you are doing because I too believe that education is one of the most important things a person of the lower class must obtain in order to succeed in life. I didn't know much abolut this organization and I'm excited to hear what it's all about and your views on this subject when you give your presentation.
