Day 9

Today is my first day back to school after Christmas Break, and today I am thankful for financial aid!!! I am well aware that a lot of my aid is in the form of student loans, and I will be paying those back some day, but I am thankful nonetheless. My loans along with other grants and financial aid, have allowed me to return to school instead of plugging along in a dead-end retail job. I am so grateful for the opportunity afforded to me because there is no way we could financially handle me returning to school full-time without the help. So, thank you federal financial aid for all the help. I literally couldn't be in school without you!
