This administration is trying to cripple our universities
Equal parts saddening and terrifying.
Before I received full financial aid to attend an Ivy League school, I was homeless.
I lived in my car and couch surfed at friends.
I worked 4 jobs as a teenager to support myself all while balancing honors and AP curricula, and leading 2 cheerleading teams as captain.
When I received my financial aid package to attend Cornell University, I cried for days in disbelief that I actually had a chance.
A few years later I was accepted into the Veterinary Medical program at Auburn, and the rest is history.
If it wasn’t for Fed Aid, I never would have made it.
Financial Aid saved my life.
American education saved my life.
I’m the epitome of the American Dream.
But the American Dream is under attack.
With the dismantling of these institutions, the majority of children in America will no longer have the chance to dream.
And that saddens me deeply.
P.S. I'm so proud to be your former student. Keep fighting for education.
