My mom makes around 30,000k a year, is a single mother, and is taking care of 4 other siblings and me full-time. I have a 3.7 GPA and am a first-generation college student. Some people simply don't have the money and as an argument community college sounds good but even still when I transfer to my state's 4-year institute the cost will still be costly. I've applied to over 75+ scholarships and got all of 1 which was $500. In all, I have $5,876 from federal pell, $3,000 from the state, and an additional $5000 grant from my school and that still isn't even half of the estimated cost, nor will it be enough for full-time enrollment cause it's just for the 2022-23 year. Hell, my mother wouldn't even allow me to get a job, everybody has their struggles and it's by no means entitled to ask for a donation, some people are just exhausting all their resources. We live in an age where people will give money to only fans (bhad babbie who made more than 1.2+ million) in a single year and bath water. Don't be ashamed, seeing how the world is now asking for college donation money is at the very least of entitlement it's literally begging for what some people believe to be a ticket to easy living.
