College and Expense

Education is the most important thing that parents should provide to their children. In addition, nowadays education become very expensive. Many students drop out their courses because they cannot afford it, even if they have a job. Regarding my experience the average college tuition is around 20,000 KD for four years in Kuwait private universities. In the cartoon image, the artist simply jokes about how the father has left only his dressed shirt. In the other side, the mother missed the microwave, which means that the father sold it to pay his kid college fees. Although parents are worrying so much about how to afford the college tuition bill, the kid is not caring about what his parents doing for him. He drives off to school without a worry. My impression from that cartoon, parents should save more money to afford their children education.

In the other hand, some students get good grades in the high school and they continue their education by a scholarship by the government. In my opinion parents should take care of their kids education from the beginning of their study life so that they will get higher grades, better foundation and they will earn the scholarship. In this way the students will be more clever and parents will not worry about their kids education and fees.

Furthermore, some students apply for a job and they afford for universities from their salaries. Even though their life will be very difficult, they will not have time to do anything because of their work and study but at the end they will get a better life.

According to my friend Ahmad’s experience, his family sacrificed in many things like, they did not travelled in their vacation as they usually do in summer, and they sold one of their cars in order to support Ahmad’s education.

In the end, the whole meaning of the cartoon image is the benefits of going to college which will take out some of valuable things that saved for future to pay college fees. College is very important but the high fees could lead students to drop from their courses regarding the expense. If anyone is planning to go to college, parents must look for the costs and prepare for it in future.
