Hey there!
I live in California and I have been dying to go to college for a very long time. I’m not a 4,0 student, but I have a 3.44 GPA and I have gone through a lot just to keep that up. I don’t want to go to a school like Harvard, but I do want to go to a university or an art school right after college. No one in my family has gone to college and gotten a degree so it means a lot to me that I have the chance to go. But while looking at the prices, I feel really crappy because I have no idea how i’m going to afford it. My mom has an annual income of $4,000. Neither of us have jobs so I couldn’t even try to get a loan because it would be impossible to pay off. I know that I will get some grants for college, but after doing the FAFSA calculations it seems that I will only get 10k which would only pay for a semester I heard that poor kids can go to college for free as long as they have good grades, but I can’t find any articles or information on college websites that says it’s true. I have just heard my friends say that their friends go to college and don’t pay for anything. I have been dreaming of going to a university in San Francisco forever and I have been working so hard as well, but I think I might have to kill my dream if there aren’t any ways for me to go for free.
