SOLUTION 

I liked your post, I think it went along well with the question and the whole thing flowed well together as well. I think that some of points also went along with my discussion post as well with some of the points that I made. I liked how you mentioned education as one of the priority of the president. I would greatly agree with this because I think education is a priority especially now. Many people who have finished their college education is in debt and the debt is an insane amount due to the interest in student loans. ….please click the purchase button to access the entire discussion at $5
