Stress Of Paying For College Essay

116 Words1 Page

The stress of paying for college is a common one but the pressure on each person varies greatly depending on one’s situation. For me the scholarship funds help greatly because my mother wants to come back to college to get a better job but she has to support not only me but also my sister whom attends a university. In order to pay for everything, my mother has to work multiple jobs while we also work. The scholarships can help me pay for college and textbooks which can allow my mother to take classes as well. This will greatly reduce our stress regarding school expenses that will help me focus on my schoolwork, research, and volunteering.
