Sorry this is out of order I could not access the first blog I made, so I had to make another one in order to continue on with the course. This post was originally posted Tuesday September 10, 2013. Sorry for the inconvenience.
When I think of something I struggle with if it comes to education it would be paying for it. I have a job teacher 4-5 years old karate, but its not like it pays even enough to consistently fill up my gas tank none the less pay for college. The only things that I can think of that help me begin to pay for my tuition is my mother paying me to work for her from time to time. The person that blindly helps me pay for college is my father, he is always trying to help me. He even got a job after he has been retired to help me pay for it. When it comes down to paying tuition in full, even with all these factors, I still need to take out a loan for $2750 a semester. These loan i get start gaining interest instantly and its not like the interest is a lot, but if i do not pay down the principle how an i ever going to expect even that silly interest payment to go away.
The outcomes that worry me are being like many people out there that have debt. I never want to be in that positions, I have seen it tear families and people apart and I do not want to be a part of either of these. When I look around at the students I teacher and how much their parents pay to be there I can help but wonder why I do not get paid more, so I do not have debt. I fear living in a tiny apartment by myself in an unsafe community and broke.
Another outcome that could happen is not even finding a job with my degree once I'm out of college. It would kill me if I was still mooching off my father after I got out of college. I would hate to be one of those people taking a food order or a livid costumer, even though i have a masters or doctorate degree. The real thing that would bother me is getting a job and then loosing it because of lack in experience or the fact that I simply could not handle the job.
An outcome that i hope it achieve is paying my loans as I go. My mother is going to fire the lady that works for her now and hire my brother and I to take over the job for her. If this happens i will be able to make payments on my principle and hopefully get rid of this first loan before I even get my next one.
What I want to ultimately happen is to obviously not have debt and to have a career i enjoy and want to be at. Plus I want a nice place to go home to so i can wind down from my day. The thing i will do the most is forever repay my father for all he is doing for me, even though I know i probably never will fully repay him.
