Hey guys....(and girls)

I am sort of dissapointed this semester as I have worked really hard (3.74 GPA) and I was unable to get a scholarship. While going to school I have been working about 30 hours as well. I was pretty sure that my hard work would pay off and get at least some type of aid or grant. I just found out that I cannot get any type of money and the only thing my university can do for me is give me a loan that I will not have to pay for until I graduate.

I socialize with everyone and many african-americans brag about how they attend school for free. When I heard that my full attention was drawn to the person speaking. He was bragging about how all he has to do is keep up a C+ (2.5 GPA) and he will be attending school for free. This is not the first time I have heard people talk of things like that.

I am not racist in any way...I am just trying to find out some answers from you guys. What has happened to our education system, why do I have to work twice as hard ? I have yet to attend a college party or anything of that sort since I am either studying or working so "playing around" is out of the question.

The reason why I am so bummed about this is that I just found this out today that no scholarship or grant is available. When I came home I opened a letter from the school congratulating me on my DEANS LIST ACHIEVEMENT for the Spring semester. What a slap in the face...

I guess it's because I'm WHITE
