Well, what comes to mind today, or what inspires me as my blog concept says, is education - getting money. It seems the only way anyone can get money is by being extremely poor or having an impossibly high ACT score. Two highly unlikelies. Now mind you that these are great reasons to have a basis on, but the average person does not have these qualities. The average person is just that, average. No average person is going to come up with a 32 ACT score or less than a $20,000 income (legally that is). But that aggravates me as seeing how as I don't have either. Grades don't mean diddly squat. Grades/GPA are about as good to get you into a college and that's about it.
Then there's scholarships, you can apply for them but more than likely they have a financial quota too. And if there is that tiny possibly that you do qualify for a scholarship, you have like a one out of a million chance to get it because fifty million other kids are going for the same exact one. And if you do get some kind of scholarship by the grace of God, it'll probably be some extremely small amount (like $250, come on now, that'll pay for a what, a book or two). Then the fact that some kids just walk through life and get these stupid high ACT scores and their college is paid for. I'm sorry, but what? So the only other option is having loan debt up to your eyeballs after college. I've worked hard my whole high school career just to get loans. But you know what, I'm going to keep hope alive, so it's whatever.
