If the government and other lenders really want to help the children of tomorrow stop charging interest on student loans. How irresponsible of us to allow this! Isn’t it hard enough as it is to make it in the world today without starting off in debt?  If we have to pay interest on the knowledge we gain from a higher education then all further knowledge on that subject will be free for as long as they are being charged interest on the money it took to gain that knowledge. Or something like that. People that are not able to make a living from the knowledge they gained in college should not be charged interest. Those that are should have to pay interest as long as they make money from that knowledge even after the loan is paid.

No one wants to be made to pay back money they never borrowed yet that is exactly what is happening to me. Not only did I not borrow money for school that year I had dropped out before the tuition deadline but I’m being charged for it anyway. On top of that none of the money I have paid so far has been subtracted from the balance. Now who would continue to pay on a loan they never got and the one they did get never goes down no matter how much has been pay? No one!

They hook you by promising student loan forgiveness but they do not mean it. All they mean to do is take more of your money, make it look like you just got the loan, and have made no payment. Try getting any where in life with bad credit. My boyfriend has a bankruptcy on his credit but his credit score is higher than mine! WTF? All that is on my credit is this stupid student loan and yet it is enough to make my interest rates 23-25% on the few credit cards I qualify for. My car insurance for just liability was $70 a month because of my poor score. Never have I used any of the knowledge gained by taking the classes I will never be able to pay for to make money. 

My last point on the subject, I promise.

I aged out of the system in Arizona after they let my adopted mom disown me after meeting and marrying a man who didn’t want me there. So the state of Arizona became my parent and therefore should pay for my higher education, like any good parent would. Even if I was a poor student as long as I was trying, they might of even got me a tutor to ensure my success. As it was no one helped me even when it was obvious I needed it.

What’s wrong with you people that you let someone like me slip through the cracks? What bullshit did you tell yourself in order to make it alright to throw me under the bus?  I am not like other people!!!!

Give Kids Until They are 21

Keep kids until they are 21 so they won't drive until they are 18. This will help save our planet.

Save The Planet

by V. Martin

This is a lot to ask but if I have my way you will get some thing back. If all you kids would agree not to drive until you're 18 you're parents will be responsible for you until you are 21. We should be extending childhood since we are living so much longer. We need kids concentrating on their studies and staying in school. School should be extended too, 9th-14th should be high school grades. Pre-school should start right afther birth with virtual instructors and Zoom visits. Kids should start grade school as soon as they are out of diapers, walking, and talking they should be going to school.  This age may differ slightly for everyone, it will be up to the teachers to bring them all to the same level. Childhood is the best time of our lives, or so it should be, shouldn't we add some of the years extending our life to the front of it? If the young adults of the world would take it apon themselves to lead the way in saving their planet the  adults may step up to do the same. Maybe not quit driving but recycling, planting some trees, volunteering, and just being more aware of our individual impact on the world. Not driving until you are 18 may not be the last thing society asks of you in the hopes of controlling global warming because your impact is just beginning. The habits you form now will have a lasting effect on the quality of life you lead in the future. So many things influence our health because it all leads back into itself and if we would stop jamming up the process things would correct themselves. We have to do the immpossible, step back and do nothing just like we have been doing only some of us have to go back to work. We can't keep doing what we've been doing or we are all going to die along with all other life on the planet.

As a human being, a conscientious life form with the ability to communicate through language our ideas, experiences, and feelings we are responsible for the rest of Mother's life forms that have no such abilities. She didn't create all the different animals just so we could kill them. We have eyes to observe the rest of the wonders around us so we can appreciate them, not destroy them. We have lungs to breathe fresh air not choke on the exhaust from trucks and cars zooming by. We have ears to listen to birds, the wind, bugs, and predators that might do us harm. We have a nose to smell the flowers and animals marking their territory. 

If we allow her to do her thing she takes care of her own and guess what we are her own. It may be hard at first but it will get easier as we witness her correcting the mess we have made. 

Oh boy, I'm starting to ramble so that's it for now. Thank you for reading and considering what I've written here.
