However you feel .

Is irrelevant to me when I spend every day while doing my courses wondering how I am going to pay it back so that I might have a chance at doing something with my life.

This new announcement, as I have just figured out after not being able to sign in to see my loans, will qualify me for $20,000 because I have Pell Grants.

This will be a large chunk of my loan debt..which isn't massive. I went with an affordable option. I did this on purpose.

Anyway. This is big for me.

And I am grateful.

Affected me greatly as well. More on the huge debt side in my case. Began college independently...not needing to rest upon the figures of my parents tax return. As a full time student working a part time job, I still trid to put in savings some to hel y debt...not much....but this has helped me immensely.
