The glass slipper won't pay for college


No chance.
No way.

Next click.

Sent away. 

Being a princess isn't always easy, particularly when the tuition deadlines breeze in. 

Fees to high even for a king.

"Responsibility, it will teach you to work hard and win". 

Yeah right, no chance, all it does is break the bank.

Can't qualify for this, can't receive money for that,

Even the fairy godmother can't help with the 

Pat

Pat 

Pat of money rushing out of from savings to further Cinderella's long wished for educating.

So she writes away on this form, hoping, awaiting

That hers will be the one selected and the load will begin dissipating.
