...but I really don't mind when I get right down to it!
C will be graduating from college on May 10th & I cannot be prouder of that fact!
Many people graduate from college all the time! B & most of his siblings have college degrees. However, on my side, college was never a big deal so many of my relatives never attended & those that did never finished. A few have become successful despite this fact & I'm proud of them.
T attended college for a year & part of a semester before marrying & beginning a family.
We helped C secure funding for her 4 years. She did a good job, on her own, in getting grants, scholarships & a free dorm room (through her RA position) so college tuition was cheaper than it could've been, but it wasn't free!
Come October, we will have a hefty bill to pay monthly for the next 10 years. She plans on co-habitation w/her boyfriend, G, after graduation. She & G have promised to assist in paying off these loans as quickly as we can.
I believe her.
I hope she can show restraint when she sees clothes & shoes on sale! She does need nice clothes to do her job, but doesn't need something from every sale she sees! As for "things" for her new living arrangements, between what we don't use & his family, the only thing they'll need is sheets!
Maybe some curtains.
So as long as I can continue working, full-time, there will be no problems. To those reading this entry, I'll be looking for a new bunch of kids to watch full-time, in September, when this position outgrows me! The little one starts Kindergarden then!
C, I am so proud that you have gotten yourself to this point in your life! It will mean so much to you when you look back & realize how little we did to get you here.
It was all you!
Great job & I look forward to helping get the loans all paid off ASAP!
MWAH!
