I think it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous that in all of my requests for financial help over the years, I always get nailed for making too much money.
What do institutions want from me? Oh, right, I know: be destitute so that I can be eligible for the scraps that they offer me, as if they are helping me by forcing me into a corner. As if I were lying about the financial costs, and demands on my time as a caregiver for elderly parents with no other family and no other resources. I work and make an honest living, but apparently, I’d only be eligible for help if I didn’t, and were on welfare.
Well, fuck you, system. Fuck you. Just say what you really want to say: I’d rather you go into debt than provide help to you in developing a foundation in life from which you could actually potentially build a future. This is because I let poor people just barely stay afloat. If we helped people who worked for a living, well, they might actually get somewhere.
These are the real messages you’re sending with the rules that you have set up.
…
NB: My opinion on going into debt for education is that you shouldn’t.
don’t work with the system, make the system work for you. there are many outlets out there that you can use to your advantage…
I wish that you’d read my blog anonymously, and let me continue on in my delusion that I live in a world within which you don’t exist.
