On the mark, or not?

Mission Statement: Tunxis Community College offers it’s students a quality, yet affordable education in an accessible and supportive environment, fostering the skills necessary to succeed in an increasingly complex world.
I think that the Tunxis Community College Mission Statement is right on the mark. It covers what we as students need from a school. Tunxis offers many opportunities like great education, great facilities, and a great environment. The mission statement is really short and brief but it does get right to the point. I think that the staff of Tunxis Community College really grasped the idea of what students want and also what they need.
Tunxis Community College offers quality yet affordable education; this gives many people the opportunity to get a great education. Getting a good education will absolutely help students either further their carrier, or start a new one. Tunxis is great because it has a lot of flexibility, students and teachers are able to work full time jobs and still go to classes at night. Going to school in a supportive and accessible environment also helps student’s futures. Tunxis is accessible because you can go to the computer lab, library, and cafeteria almost anytime you want to. You can set up study sessions with other students or meet teachers in between classes for a quick question. Tunxis makes sure that it creates a supportive environment with all the resources there that you need to succeed while in school and out in the real world. The world is constantly changing and I personally feel that the staff at Tunxis makes a huge effort to teach us not only class related things but also real world related things.
While attending Tunxis Community College I know I will take things from my experience and apply them to the future. Going to Tunxis has enabled me to further my education and finally take the steps to starting my carrier but on the other side still let me work full time.
I feel that the mission statement of Tunxis Community College truly captures what they actually do here. Tunxis creates an awesome learning environment with great resources like teachers, fellow students, computers, books, but most of all the information, knowledge, and tools to succeed later on in life. Tunxis gives the students all the tools; it’s all up to them on what they do with it.

The opening sentence is not really an attention getter that would make me jump out my seat to read this essay. I felt that there was just a lot of repeating to get the amount of words needed for the essays. I do feel the point you wanted to get across, but a little more passion or heart would have been nice to see. The essay was a little boring. I did like the conclusion, maybe spice up the beginning and middle part a little more.

I liked the way the writer of this piece addressed the question right away in the first paragraph. It was clear and right to the point. It gets a little shaky towards the end though, when it refers to "class related things" and "work related things". The author could have been a bit more specific. Overall though, a good effort.

The beginning was really strong but i think it got a little repetative at the end. I was almost as if the writer lost focus or stopped caring.

There is a lot of supportive evidence in this essay. Very good argument.

Good effort, overall I liked the way it was written. The mission statement was given in the first paragraph, so as you read the rest of the essay you have that already in your mind and can think about the authors point and agree or disagree... and think about why. I myself chose to attend Tunxis for all the reasons touched upon in the essay and completely agree.
