An act of bravery

If bravery is action in the face of fear, than I made an act of bravery today. I have no clue if I will be able to get financial aid for college. But I paid my $35, filled out an application, attached my essay and submitted it. I'm scared that there will be no funds for me. Or that by earning $22K in 2003, I made too much money to qualify.

I have to have money to live on, as well as pay for college. Loans and grants, loans and grants. Pell grant, where are you when I need you?

For the last 30 years I have paid taxes, defended my country for nine of them. I truly hope there's money for this odyessy.
