“I’m so glad to see another student taking responsibility for her education.”
As a parent, I have no issues with helping my kids pay for their education. I know they are appreciative of it as I was when my own parents ( who were each the first in their families to attend or finish college) paid for mine. As a family, we take care of and support one another. It is my way of paying forward what my own parents sacrificed for me and the emphasis and value they placed on education. Am I fortunate that I can afford to? Yes, but some of that comes from a) being provided that chance to get a good education myself and taking advantage of the opportunities it provided and b) making sacrifices along the way. My kids’ education is more important to me than a newer model car, a bigger house, and dining out a lot.
