I am a single mom of 3.I live in Memphis, Tn. The city here is getting pretty rough. Crime is way up. I had to make a choice and leave the job I had so I could be here with my kids when they got out of school to keep them out of trouble. Our house has been broken into several times..Right now the front storm door is still broken where they busted the glass out of it. Life is ok.I worked two jobs topay everything off..and with incometax and an understanding employer of 11 years.I am drawing my unemployment. I have the basics covered for a while. Life is decent. I am trying to go back to school. I willqualify for a pell grant for the summer session. Am looking for any info on other avenues besides school loans to go with it. Is anyone aware of access to any real sight that I can get some info from.I just would prefer not to build up the student loans if there is another option.I worked hard to pay off allmy debt besides every day living expenses.I would prefer to be able to have loans when the children get ready to go to college...The older two are honor roll students one entered highschool with 3 credits to start with when she started.I want to do this for me as well as so I can be an example for them. I have already preached how important it is for them to have a college education.But it is for me also.No one in my family has ever went to college. I was the first to graduate from highschool. I will get there. Just trying to see if there is a way to make it a little easier.I am a very hard worker.This is not something I am very committed to.I am just lost in all the send us $$$ we will help you find grants. If I had all the extra $$$ I would not need help. I just can't believe there is not some help out there for an education. I would appreciate any information any one would give me..Thanks for taking the time to read this.
