The Beginning of My Journey

I am a college student who has hit a roadblock on the path to graduation and earning my degree. I know that paying for school and all of the associated expenses is something that many people my age and all other ages struggle with. While there are many options out there - scholarships, loans, financial aid and more, none of these are currently options for me. In the future I'll go into more detail as to why these aren't options, but for now I just want to give you an idea of what my purpose is for this blog.

First of all, I hope to meet others who are facing this same struggle, so that maybe we can take this journey together and help each other out. I'd also like to find others who have faced this struggle and overcome it, and hope that they'll share their victories and struggles with those of us who have to get to that point. I would also like this to be a place where I can share what I learn, and hopefully share victories of finding lesser known ways of getting money for school. And finally, if there truly aren't the options that I'm looking for, I hope to be able to make contacts that can help to make changes, so that in the future people like myself won't face the same struggles, and can get the important education that should not be such a struggle to pay for.

Like I said, I'm hoping to make lots of contacts for all different aspects of this process. So if you stop by, please leave a comment and let me know you're here, and share any wisdom that you have, or any struggles you are facing.
