College pays for itself, I think. I have looked into a community college, a local public college, and a college outside of the state. I can’t really get over the fact that if I stay home, I won’t really be experiencing anything new. The only thing I will see is a new building and some new people, but I’d rather start my life. However, I also understand the huge money problem…
Money is a big part of the college experience, I think. Weather I go to TCU or ECC, I’m not positive yet, but I know where I want to go. I want to begin my life; I want to become my own person. Of course, I can do that while I’m here going to ECC, and it’s cheaper. I think the effects will be different, but I do understand that in the end, my life is already planned out. I can’t worry about my future; I can work every day to be the person I was made to be. I know that the money is incredible that comes out for college and that is a lot to think about. TCU will give me the best perspective on what my life will be. 4 years away from my family is like doing high school all over again, the right way. I feel like parents only let their kids go so far because they don’t want to lose them but I want to be able to say to my kids one day that if they work extremely hard for their middle and high school careers, me and my husband will work every day to give them the lives they each deserve.
I didn’t grow up with a college fund or a trust fund. I have what I make and that isn’t a lot. I am relying on my faith right now because I can’t see what my future will hold. If I do end up staying home for the first year, I know there is a reason for it.
