Give single mothers the opportunity of having an education by bringing down the interest rates of loans and/or helping them get rid of student loans.
Why is this important?
I am a mother of three babies who unfortunately had to seperate and I find myself going through hard times and not being able to pay for my student loans. A month after I turned 18, I enrolled in college and was introduced to student loans. I finished my associates with a balance of $26, 000 in 2008 and I havent been able to finish my Bachelors. I am afraid of bringing the balance to a higher amount. I can not even afford this loan how would I be able to pay it all. I would love to finish my bachelors because I can not find any well paying positions that does not require a B.A. I feel like I am in a country full of opportunites but why cant I continue growing being a born USCitizen. I have friends who are not even US Citizens and they obtain money through FAFSA and gov't grants without even having loans to pay back. And I am not approved through FAFSA because I work witjout considering the fact that I have three babies and I am single. I qant to finish school and fulfill my dream of obtaining a Masters Degree. Please help.me give my children the opportunity of having an education.
