True Value

June 7, 2016

My life and education come at a price but I can pay for neither

As a Christin I believe that Jesus paid for my life on the cross

Trying to find money for my educatin has become a coin toss

A literal toss scraping through coins and thin peieces of paper called dollar bills

Tryng to satisfy the unsatisfed requirements of financial aid who provides less than one-fifth of what my education costs

But I refuse to see this as a loss.

I will win beause I am well aware of my true value.
