Dear School Board,


Dear School Board,

Why is it,

that to receive the education I want,

I must fall into the ever so endless sea of debt?

Why is it,

that one thousand dollars

is only seen as a few coins to the mound college requires?

Why is it,

that crouching over stacks of homework

stacks of work

stacks of scholarships

to get an education

isn't enough?

Sincerely, a student.
