Average


We live in a world that revolves about money I am no minority I do not have a sob story I am no criminal but a college degree is my goal but money evades me I am not skilled I am no genius Is it right?! No money is given Two jobs and my wallet is bare Yet I still have to pay for school How? How am I meant to move up the ladder without putting my parents in debt I am no athlete I have no secret talent I am just average But money evades me Minimum wage does not pay for my education Yet they expect money out of pocket scholarship after scholarship Debt for years But money evades me
