student loan forgiveness petition
dear mr. president:
my name is sandra saucedo, i would like to please ask you to push for the loan forgiveness petition . particularly for women that stayed home like me. for i stayed home in order to raise a family, yet still continued to take one class at a time in order to achieve my goal of receiving a degree. however, taking one class a semester took me decades because i dedicated my life to care for my boys and family. now that my boys are older i decided to go back to school full time and get a loan. i am 47 years old and even though i had always worked in and outside my home, i have no retirement plan (because i had always worked part time in order to have time to care for my children) nor a health plan. it is time women that stayed home and contribute to our community, for i had always worked in the pta's of schools, i never missed a field trip and always advocated for children whose parents worked and could not be at school to speak on behalf of their children, should be rewarded and not penalized for staying home while working part time and building a better future for our children that will be an asset to society. staying home also allowed me to made sure my boys learned about art, music and sciences. reasons why my older son was at the age of 12 a youth ambassador in the people to people program promoting peace in the world. my second child was a tutor and all around athlete, and my youngest son is the captain of his soccer team at school and takes university classes in the summer. as i am about to enter my 50s and most of my life has been devoted to my children and family, i continue to go to school and have a huge debt due to my studies that i do not know if i will be able to pay it off and be able to retire by the time i am 65. please advocate for us, for women are the most precious resource of our humanity and in this 21st century we are still treated as second class citizens, as bell hooks eloquently says not only because we are women, but also because we are people of color. family is an important aspect of my culture because home is where values and self esteem are cultivated in order to keep our children away from the jails that are built faster than schools.
warmly,sandra saucedo
