EXCUESES for not going to college

           There are lots of people in the world that use the excuse that they can't go to college because it’s too expensive, schools are asking for too much money, or that they just simply cannot afford it. EXCUSES, EXCUSES, EXCUSES!!!
            There are so many ways out there to get money to be able to afford college. Whether it’s doing well in a certain sports and getting an athletic scholarship, or doing excellent in school and getting an academic scholarship.  You can even try to get a job, school grants, financial aid, or student loans. 
There are many ways to find out how to get financial aid, school grants, or student loans.  As students getting ready to go off to college we should have already started looking up ways to get money for college. If you haven’t then start looking up school websites, or ask your counselors to help you out.
            I suggest that you guys start looking into it.  It’s not like you’re the only one needing money to go to college.  I myself am going to go off to college and have no way of paying for it.  So I am going to apply for financial aid, because I am too lazy to find a job (and it is not easy to get a job anyways).  Like it says in the article The 10 Most Common Excuses for NOT going to College and Why They’re All Wrong!, There is about 28 billion dollars waiting for students who need money for college. So start your research, check out the FAFSA website because I guarantee that if you show that you truly need money to go to college, there are ways that you can get it.

  1. I have used this excuse before considering the fact that my family has no money saved up for me and we are no where near wealthy, but because of my teachers and counselor I know that I have options. They provide me with information on how to get grants and financial aid because I did one simple thing, I asked if I qualified.

  2. Great article! I have to admit that I have also used this excuse. I spent way too many time thinking of an excuse, but never actually considered the things that could help me, like athletic scholarships. As of now, it really doesn't matter to me because of my life is just going where Christ takes me. I am still going to apply for colleges and hopefully get an athletic scholarship, but I honestly want to be an Elementary Bible School Teacher for the young ones. <3 Do not worry so much about this stuff. !! We will all do fine<3

  3. I so agree with your post because my whole life, going to a four year college wasn't an option. I know my family doesn't have enough money to pay for my tuition. Most of my whole life, my mother has solemnly raised her three children alone, so yeah money was always a problem. She couldn't afford to make a college fund for us. Due to this I had just planned going to a community college because I know it will be less expensive. Thankfully there are so many ways of getting money to pay off my tuition and books.
    Hey Vanessa, do you know the link for the FAFSA (: ?
