I pay for school completely out of my own pocket so all the money I make goes towards paying for school. I plan on being in school for the next seven years and I want to graduate with as little debt as possible. Having financial aid support means that a little less of my brain is focused on money and a little more of my brain can be focused on achieving my goals.
