[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 58811"] I found out about Pell grants when I was a single Mom, and making 3 bucks an hour in 1979. I could not believe there was such a thing. and one of the happiest days of my life was when I got hired at UPS because I was going to school. For all the complaining I and others do on here, it was a great feeling when I made enough money that I didnt qualify anymore and I had to get student loans and I gladly got them and paid them back. And since then I have paid enough taxes that I look at the grants as a God send which I have since paid back. And that is what they were designed for, to help people become gainfully employed tax paying contributing members of society. Moreluck is right, if you are happy living in poverty that is where you will stay. In my case I didnt like it and looked for a way out. And you have to be motivated, as it is hard work, it doesnt come easy even with the help. And it has been available to every race, and gender for years. But you have to look, and you have to sacrifice. JMHO [/QUOTE]
