College OPTION'S

The program, College OPTION'S, is important because it gives scholars a better opportunity to get into college. Also, it gives more insight about how to get into college and the different majors. It is a great and important program for future college students to use.
The program gives more chances to get financial aid. In these troubling times, colleges are cutting admissions and it is harder than ever to get into the colleges students want to go. This program gives these students a better understanding and helps them through the troubling times and into college to start their future.
In Shasta County, only 18.8% have a post-secondary degree. I believe this is because of how small our educational schooling is. Including; high-schools, middle schools. Also, we only have 2 junior colleges close and one private college near. I believe it is harder to get into CSU's and UC's and people just go to junior college.
I believe there is such a difference because these times are so hard and people can't afford a post-secondary degree and just stick with a smaller one. When we get out of these hard times, I believe our county will overcome and get a better percentage and go off and get their post-secondary degree.
