I major in Office Administration and Technology at Bronx Community College. I fund college through financial aid with TAP and Pell. The money I get for financial aid covers tuition, but there is nothing left over. I have struggled a lot with taking as many classes as I do and not being able to work because of how many classes I have to take. I then struggle to pay for all the things that TAP doesn’t cover, like textbook fees. Because of this, I have had to quit several times and take a year off to work and then come back. When I was in ASAP, I had a key class that I had to take, but they only offered it at night, which I could not do, so I went to the advisor and was basically told to drop out since I had to take that class to get into any of the others that I needed. Because of that, I did drop out. Most of my classes are now online.\u00a0
