Fearing for the Future

Firstly I would like to say; greetings to everybody reading this entry. My name is Nicholas and my story is probably not as terrible or sad as many others. My want or goal in writing this is not to depress or to acquire sympathy or pity. I sincerely hope that my story helps someone, anyone, when dealing with all this loan hub-bub.

My Story, Part One

I have over $65,000 in student loan debt. It didn't start out at that amount, but built gradually over the years. I don't think about it daily, but I never forget it is there.

Throughout my time in public school, I was aimed toward college. I worked as hard as possible to achieve, to add extra curricular activities to my list, to prepare myself in every way I could to head to college. In my senior year, just before graduation, my mother came to me and told me there was no money to send me to college. I was angry. I felt cheated. I always knew we were poor, but there had never been a conversation about this, not during any of the time prior, not during all that work I was putting toward success. I insisted I was going to school, I didn't care how, but I would find a way.
