Write a 150- to 200-word e-mail to your friend summarizing the resources available to students. I would share the fact of they have a write point grammar which corrects your paper for misspelled words, punctuation, accidentally confused words.

They teach you all about loans and what you should take out and what you should not. A time management makes you have time for school and how to manage things like work and kids.
