Here's my problem. I have average white parents with average income and enough credit to qualify for loans.. Why is this a problem you might ask.. I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ONE FREAKING SCHOLARSHIP.
I guess working through college is too hard?clownphish said:"Many people think that coming from a white background you're automatically privileged, you're automatically rich and your parents pay full tuition. That's just not the case."
WERD. Wasn't my case either!
My best friend whose parent's weren't priviledged, nor even near wealthy, was denied financial aid. And she graduated #1 in our class; however, she applied for scholarships and got them. Not because of her ethnicity, because she was willing and termined to go to get a higher education.clownphish said:"Many people think that coming from a white background you're automatically privileged, you're automatically rich and your parents pay full tuition.

I agree. Holding 2 jobs and having to go through Operating Systems and General Topology is a pain. But more people would like to sit around and complain.Equinox said:I guess working through college is too hard?
