Dear College,


Dear College,

Why must you be so expensive? Why must you come with so much hard work? Why are you something I am expected to do? College, why have you not given me enough money to attend? Why am I not able to afford you? Why can't I qualify for scholarships? Why does my dad make too much but can't afford to send me to you? Why am I stressing about you when you have already accepted me? College, please allow me to be able to afford you. College, take me. I am what you want, I have the community service, the athletic involvement, the grades? What else do you want from me? I am doing my best to give you all you want from me. Everything I have done since kindergarten is all in preparation to go to you and now you won't help me out and get me to you. College just please help me. 

Sincerely,

Struggling Student
