As a senior in high school, I\u00a0<\/span>was aware of the vast expenses that accompanied a college education. \u00a0I\u00a0was raised in a single parent household, as my father was incarcerated early in my\u00a0life. My mother, a waitress, did her best to prepare me and my brother for college. Still, I’ve taken out multiple loans in my name, in addition to\u00a0a Parent Plus loan in my\u00a0mother\u2019s name. These loans cover tuition and a portion of living expenses, however I pay for the remainder<\/span>. In addition to being a full-time psychology major with an extensive workload, I work<\/span>\u00a0two jobs during the\u00a0academic year and\u00a0full-time over the summers to cover cost of living expenses at Cortland.<\/p>\n

After I finish my<\/span>\u00a0psychology studies here at Cortland, I\u00a0plan on attending graduate school to study clinical psychology. I love it, why people think the way they do. Everybody deserves the opportunity I\u2019ve gotten, even though it\u2019s been hard. Without education access, our future is much dimmer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
