During those two years, I worked part time to pay tuition, and saved money by living at home. In doing so, I met a lot of people who were in the same situation. Either they did not have the money, or they weren’t sure what career they wanted, so they went for cheaper courses at amunity college.
After two years, I chose Central Michigan University (CMU) and applied for other scholarships. I had made enough money in the two years and had enough scholarships that I finally could afford the school.
I had the funds and was excited, but I was nervous about moving away from a situation where no one really had a lot of money, to a place where some students didn’t need to work hard to get where they were.
