  • I didn’t get to go to college since my mother’s AIDS bankrupted our family, but I didn’t and don’t want to see other people hurt.

    Am I a little bitter I couldn’t afford mountains of debt to get a degree while watching many of my friends go off to college? Sure.

    Am I sad I had to work at a younger age than my peers so we could afford to juggle medications and bills? Sure.

    Has this trajectory seriously screwed me for a lifetime of poverty? Yes, definitely.

    Do I want to see other people hurt? No.

    I’m not a nazi just because I wasn’t able to get a degree
