During the start and the end of the fall semester year of 2015/20116 at Montgomery College, my life changed dramatically for me. Going back to school after graduating four years ago at Baltimore Freedom Academy high schoolHigh School has been challenging for me, but of course it’s challenging for anybody with the same circumstances of not being academically active for all those years, and almost forgetting all the retained information that was given from previous teachers. I felt like my brain was rotting, yet the really bad part about it is that, I wasn’t doing what I loved, which was playing organized college basketball.

To begin with, I want to speak out about how influential tuition debt can be when deciding between continuing graduate school versus dropping out entirely.

Before I enrolled at Case, I was already in substantial debt to begin with. I had lost all my financial aid in my sophomore year due to an error from FAFSA, which forced my hand to pay tuition with credit cards for the remaining semesters until I sorted it through with FAFSA. I ultimately had to take private loans and borrow more money from credit cards until FAFSA reinstated my loans which came too little, too late.

I have experience many financial hardships throughout my college career. This upcoming year I will max out my loan options and I will have to fund my education through my own personal expenses.

This past year has been particularly hard and I reached a point financial that I had to apply for a one-time emergency scholarship fund in order to remain in school.
