They Told Me To Quit College

I remember sitting in a financial counselor’s office during college and having no idea how to close the tuition gap. They offered no advice. Even worse, they said I may not be able to continue.

I left their office devastated.

Being raised by a single mother, I was the first child to venture off to college with no obvious financial well to draw from. There hadn’t been child support for years and there definitely wasn’t college assistance.
