My school grants story
June 24th, 2010I can still clearly remember the day that I got my first school grants. It’s a day in my life that I will certainly never be able to forget. Did you know that there an absolute ton of totally free school grants that can make your life significantly easier?
My family has a whopping seven members! Excluding my two parents that leaves five children, because we have such a large family my parents decided to homeschool us for several years. My two brothers ended up joining the Army, but the rest of us studied as hard as we could at home. You’ll probably agree with me when I say it’s not an easy task to educate that many kids, especially considering the fact that we had a quite low income. Ever since I was little I’ve had an insatiable desire to learn. Back when I was a little kid I knew when I grew up I wanted to be a teacher. I used to think about all the different subjects I could teach and how much fun it would be!
After I turned 11 my father passed away, and everything in my families life seemed to come grinding to a stop. We didn’t have very much money left, and the money we did have soon started to dry up. My older sister took up a job at a café nearby and did her best to help provide us with everything we need.
Then on a beautiful sunny April morning, I saw my sister running back home, she said she had something to share with the whole family, I knew it was going to be big news, I could tell just by looking at her face. Believe it or not I can still remember to this day the exact words she said to us, “you’re all going to be able to go to school and fulfill your dreams”.
That was the very first day that I ever heard anything about school grants. I was absolutely shocked to learn that the American government would be giving out free money, and you didn’t even need to pay any of it back. Another great part is that you can apply for more than one grant, you’re able to apply as much as you want, as long as your intentions are honest.
That’s how I was able to go to college and fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher! All of my brothers and sisters also have a higher education. My mom is able to stay home and never have to worry about anything again.
