Ryan,
ReplyDeleteI really likes how you used education in our society in your opening paragraph. However, in the first paragraph, it would seem a little more pleasing to the eye if you put "however" at the beginning of the sentence. I also would suggest leaving an empty line in between each paragraph, so the reader can know when each paragraph is starting
