All my life I have wanted to go to college in hopes that one day I will be a police detective. My mother always told me to work hard at my grades and do the best I can and I have. I was so happy when I found out I was accepted to 2 colleges and now I am worried I wont be able to attend either. My mother will help out where she can but with the expenses my brother has she can only do so much and I dont want to put more stress on her. She has worked hard to be where she is in life and I already feel like she has a lot to worry about. I have applied for scholarships and grants and now am applying for a loan. I am so worried I wont be able to get enough to pay for college and like everyone else dont want to be in so much debt that I cant breathe when I graduate. I know there are many teenagers in the same boat as me and Im not asking for anyone's pity. Im not anymore special then the next kid trying to figure things out. I am hoping I can get any help possible for the 1st year. I have worked since I was 15 while taking college courses in high school. I have a love for cheer and have worked hard at everything put in front of me. I was on junior honer society in the 8th grade after working hard for 3 years to get on it. We then move to OH where the junior honer society was not offered at the school. I understand there are others out there that are more in need than I am but I do promise that I will ever so grateful and appreciative of any help provided. I won't let you down.
