Excuse the Donation Button

  • Posted on July 24, 2008 at 9:11 am

I apologize for the donation button you see to your far right. I’m really not one to go around begging for money. Truthfully I had to think long and hard before I actually did decide to put it up (it’s going up on all of my blogs) because I just don’t like asking complete strangers for money. I’m just not like that. However, right now, it’s either put up a donation button and hope for the best, or forget about going to college. I’ve been informed that I am completely ineligible for financial aid, even my student loans have been cut off. I can’t use ANYTHING but money from my own pocket to go to school with. This wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that ONE credit hour is over $100, and all classes are at least TWO credit hours. So yeah. It’s either stick the donations button up and hope for the best, or don’t bother going to school.

Just a note – I find it funny that they say we have a RIGHT to an education, including college, but then make it too expensive for us to get one.

    Donated the $2 that came up automatically. Wish I had more but … I have to pay for my own college this semester.

    It is really sad how hard it is for the average lower-middle income person to go to college. Earn too much for financial aid/loans …. earn too little to afford it.

    Be well
    Be blessed

    I’ve been there with grad school. It sucks. I’m actually *not* in school right now for that very reason.

    Next blogging pay day I will be back around to send you a little. I have you on feedreader so that should remind me.

    In the mean time I tagged you for a meme: http://ami-chan.net/2008/07/29/six-quirky-things

    Best wishes and blessed be!
