U of I, not for I

So for the longest time, I have said that I wanted to go to the University of Iowa. Well, with some of the problems that have happened in the last few weeks, it seems my chances of going to Iowa are diminishing everyday. I recently found that I will have to pay for College and other big expenses before then, by myself. That is two choir trips and possibly a spanish trip. So odds are I am going to have to go to NIACC. Which is really depressing. I'm going to have work really hard to even try and get into a good college. Now I haven't ruled out the service yet. My entire family is against me going into the service, but if I don't get help for college I really have no other option. My aunt is in the Air Force, that would be my choice if I chose a military branch. Who knows? Maybe my music career will take off! (That is me being optimistic) This topic really does depress me. When I talk to me padres about it, they sit and look at their computer screens, filtering every word I say. Only hearing what they want to hear. Now some people don't believe you need a college degree. I personally would like to do something in the scientific career. I don't believe the service can help me when it comes to science. It really just upsets me on how poor my parent's planning was. You would think that they would help their children succeed in life, because of this, I will not be given a good chance. My sister is barely able to pay off her loans at the moment and I will probably be struggling as well. So Mallory wanted me to put that she rocks because she helped me with the idea, although I thought of it myself. She wants credit. So, go Mallory, I guess.

    Mallory does rock. I appreciate you for putting that I totally rock in your blog, although you never actually said the words 'totally rock', we all know that that is what you meant. Thanks for the credit dude!

    You should look into applying for scholarships and you might even get a full ride! Don't rule it out yet. There are many options and opportunities out there for you to exercise. :)

    I think your parents making you pay for all of college is a little harsh but it will teach you to manage your cash. look at it this way casey a college will want you to go there because of your choral abilities and classroom abilities.

    I agree with Alysha. Don't rule much out yet. It is good that you are thinking ahead. You're peers should start to do the same as well.

    When it comes time for college, I do NOT; whats so ever; in a million years; want to go to NIACC. Nothing against NIACC but I despartly need to get out off here. Perferably out of Iowa. I will probably have to take out a student load and will be paying it off for most of my lifetime. To get out of here would be worth it. And I plan on being successful so maybe my debt will not be so much of a burden. But i will have to look into everything in more depth in the future. (sooner rather than later) Keep your head up kid.

    Keep your hopes up, you never know what will happen. Scholarships, no matter how small, always help. Although I am with Amanda on Central (I love the college and community) i wish you the best on my second favorite school, U of I

    For one, I think your parents are rediculous for not planning and not wanting to help you be succesfull.
    Fot two, you need to not lose hope yet. keep your head up.

    Optimism good; action, better.

    Also, give your parents a break: it's not their education, it's yours. Take responsibility for something you want. If they get you to 18, they've done their job.

    I also found out my parents were not going to pay for college, although they are going to help me. If they were not going to help I would not know what to do. I do think that your parents should pay for your activities while your in high school though like choir and spanish. But youll be better off in the long run if you pay for it yourself I guess
