Dear U.S Senator Kerry
Thank You for taking the time to take a look at my email & group of five photos about Education in America. I am a graduate of the New England School of Photography in Boston and currently attending classes at Bunker Hill Community College. I have been struggling with loans and working through college for years now and wanted to share some of our stories with you. Please take a look at the faces and stories of some college students in Massachusetts at

Education in America is so very important to me as I am sure it is to you, that is why I am trying to raise awareness on how hard many young Americans have to fight to further their education. If the average college education was much more affordable then it would be more accessible and appealing to the average American. America would have many more college graduates if once you graduate you are truly ahead of the game instead of buried in debt for years to come and struggling financially just like someone who has only graduated from highschool.
Having more educated citizens would solve so many of our social problems and improve the quality of life in our country. I am currently a teaching assistant at the New England School of Photography and see students every week worried, stressed out and not being able to put all their energy into their studies because of having to work full time to support themselves and their education. It is an unfair problem and this country should be begging people to learn instead of deterring then with thousands upon thousands of dollars of debt. Why are their people making money off of students who are struggling to fund their education?
The direction that I think education in our country should go in is to lower the cost of education by having more government funding to support students and colleges, lowering interest rates and cutting out more of the middlemen who profit off of student loans.
Thank You for your time,
Alice Bialobrodec
