ESSAY-4-5 pages 

Upward economic mobility is difficult to attain in this country. You implicitly know this; that's why you've come to college. But just being in college isn't enough. How can you increase your chances of getting better grades? Of graduating? Of getting a better job and improving your career mobility opportunities beyond that? You will write an essay outlining ways to get ahead in college and beyond by discussing the concepts of strength of weak ties, the importance of peers, and cultural capital, and using relevant readings to justify your arguments.
