Once I do graduate from Cortland I\u2019m going to grad school, preferably at U Albany or Syracuse. I pay for school with financial aid, TAP, and the Pell Grant. I also work at Target and Market 32 on breaks to pay for textbooks and food for the semester. If I didn\u2019t get financial aid, I would probably be working full time at Target, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019d be possible to go to school at the same time as that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my second year of college, but my first year at SUNY Cortland.
