Last Day!

Today is my last day working at the Academic Success Center and it's really hitting me how hard UNLV is suffering from budget cuts. In January, I was promised I would have this position through graduation next summer. Only 2 months later, Tyra and I were told they would have to cut our positions at the end of the semester. As I watch numerous departments and programs be put up on the chopping block, I can't help but wonder when Education is going to be put first on our government's to-do list!
What is it going to take for them to realize that the less options they give our future generation, the less workers they will have with educations worthy enough of their position? My program alone is struggling to stay afloat at UNLV, due to it being one of the smaller departments on campus. We have one of the best counseling programs in the nation, yet we are constantly being considered as a completely cut program! I guarantee our Ivy League schools aren't worried about cutting their most successful programs. I walk into my classes with the biggest smile on my face because I know I get to be part of such an amazing department. At the same time, my heart aches because I know that students after me might not get the same opportunity as I did. Our government thinks spending money on unnecessary military options, tax breaks for big corporations, and universal health care is much more important than Education!! What a ridiculous thought!!
I'm scared.... Scared because at this point, I know my future children are not going to get the opportunities to have the best education possible. Classrooms of 40+ students with only one teacher or professor, high tuition rates, and limited degree programs at affordable universities.... When is enough, enough?!
