I know that sometimes it feels like these loans will never get paid. My loans are my biggest debt and it is discouraging to see how much more I have to pay. It seems like I will be paying for my school for the rest of my life. thanks for the encouragement that it is possible to be school loan debt free. Again, congratulations it is definately a load off. with all my love, Lizbeth :) I am so happy and so proud of you!!! I know that sometimes it feels like these loans will never get paid.

And on both sides. I know students that throw away opportunities in college 'cause they can make more selling phones at Verizon, or who just pass the time in college, really believing the MTV cribs life will magically find them just around the next corner. Though I never thought about dropping out and generally had an "easy" experience in college, I was able to realize at graduation what an accomplishment it was. Didn't get that perspective 'til the end. Try to pass it onto my students to help get them there. I know. And on both sides.

My gen got so much government help that few of us had any debt at all. Political leaders in those days thought higher education was a great investment in the economic and cultural future of the country. Times have changed. Congrats!
