Jennifer's Story
Jennifer saw college as a way out of an unstable home life — and a way into a future career in international business.
Script:
My decision to graduate early came after my mother got sick.
She wasn't able to take care of me. My dad wasn't there to take care of me, so I needed a way to take care of myself, and by going to college, I knew that I could further my education and better my career choices.
My guidance counselor… told me about Federal Student Aid and helped me fill out the application and find all the information I needed.
When I first got my letter that said I was accepted, it was a feeling of relief, it was a feeling of I don't have to continue to look for a way to go to school.
I would have never been able to graduate at 16 and go to college without the Federal Student Aid program.
My name is Jennifer, and this is my story.
