College Access - Algebra

Research shows that regardless of income level, America's young people want to go to college and recognize that postsecondary education is a key to their future.

However, despite these high aspirations, low-income and first-generation students are underrepresented on college campuses. The reasons vary, but key barriers include affordability, a lack of college-going knowledge and preparation, expectations, as well as guidance and encouragement.

This campaign encourages more low-income students and their families to take the necessary steps toward postsecondary education, with effective support from parents and adult influencers (teachers, counselors, coaches).

To learn more about the actual steps they need to take to be prepared for, and ultimately apply to, college, audiences are directed to the campaign website www.KnowHow2GO.org or to call 800-433-3243 for a free brochure.

HAHAHAHAHA "And I don't smell bad I use the deodorant every morning and again if I'm going out later on". So every young men must never be like Algebra II in hygiene. If the armpits smell bad then not a single beautiful girl will admire and like you at all.

Algebra is actually lots of fun to do if you get into it and understand it.
