<p>Things are not always fair, and people are not always honest. Sure, I know people who are better off that we are (own 2 homes, own a successful business, lots of disposable income, etc) and still managed to get nearly zero EFC’s and grants! Of course that’s not right. I understand that your anger is not from selfishness but comes from a sense of indignance. But lonesplendor, lying and cheating degrade those who participate. You can be proud that your parents worked so hard and respectably. You will rise above this mess. What goes around comes around.</p>
