This year ... |
After being accepted to
all 6 universities to which she applied and earning over 100K in
scholarships that included a full ride, with tuition, and room &
board, to FAU's Honors College. Megan instead chose to fulfill
her dream to attend the University of Florida that offered her, ZERO
financial assistance.
It was a good choice! She is enjoying college life,
and the new found
independence of being away from home. She has started swing dancing,
discovered Elvis, and has excelled academically.
But choosing Florida brought into focus the economic realities of her
choice. So this past summer she worked her first job as a
cashier at Sweet Tomatoes. All in all it was an excellent first
job experience, dealing with people, and handling money. It
boosted her confidence, along with providing her with some college
spending money. |
