Helping Hand

One thousand

Ten hundereds

One hundred tens

One thousand ones

Four thousand quarters

Ten thousand dimes

Twenty thousand nickels

One hundred thousand pennies

That's a lot of pennies.

One thousand dollars

is worth a lot

to a college bound kid.

That wil pay for

some books,

a parking pass,

some tuition,

some housing,

food,

gas.

One thousand dollars

is worth much more than that.

Its a step

in the right direction,

towards a career,

a life,

my life.

One thousand dollars

is a stress reliever,

a brain thawer,

a helping hand

that lights the dark abyss

that is college finance.

One thousand dollars

is considered

a Holy Grail.

A lottery.

Achievement.

Award.

Pride.
