People
 learn throughout their entire lives. They constantly improve their knowledge and development. I think that a college or university
education
 should be available to all students because every person has the right to choose the way to self-perfection. Below, I will give some of my reasons to support my position. First of all, every person should have the
chance
 to get a higher degree and gain new knowledge and experience.
However
, some
people
 believe that higher
education
 should be available only to good students. I think it is silly. It is like making unavailable travelling for one who does not have
IQ
Correct article usage
an IQ
show examples
 high enough. Second of all, some young
people
 do not do well at school but they have great personalities and the ability to learn. They are self-confident, persistent, and patient. With these qualities, they can get higher grades than their classmates who are talented but lazy. Imagine
for example
 situation when a teenager gets high grades because his or her parents constantly make him or her study and help to do most of the homework. In
this
 ,case a child does very well at school but I think a college can show the opposite results.
Finally
, it is discrimination against students to make available higher
education
 only for good ones. So, if a student does poorly and gets low grades he/she should be sent down. But if a person was never given a
chance
 to try himself/herself at college, what to do in
this
 case?
To sum up
, I think that all young
people
 should have the
chance
 to get a higher
education
. To take or not
this
chance
 must be up to them.
