I'm going to college -- but how will I pay?
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
I never thought about not going to college. During the fall semester of my senior year I was busy, like my classmates, sending out college applications to my top choices. Of course, I had a favorite: a private liberal arts college in another state. And in January, I got the good news—I was in!
I also never thought about how I was going to pay for college. My mom could help with some of the tuition fee, but I'd need to apply for whatever loans and grants I could find—and plan to work as much as possible. Even with the grant money, however, I was still short a significant amount. And I didn’t think I could earn enough during the summer to cover the remaining expenses.
Still, I never considered not going to my first-choice college. I was convinced I would find a way to cover my costs. I remembered that “. . . all things are possible to God . . . .” (1:1-4). This was a lesson I had learned well while attending a Christian Science Sunday School.
