Let Me Be Forgiven!!

Going to college is a choice. College is not for everyone but some who do have an interest in college but can not afford it is a big deal to me. A student loan is one way that a student can go to college but it is just that, a loan. Throughout the years, they would eventually have to pay it all back. My thing is, if we did not have money to go to school in the first place, imagine how long it would take to pay it all back. On March 8, 2012 our current president Barack Obama introduced a new and beneficial program that college students can use. Obama Student Loan Forgiveness program clears students that have made payments regularly for a minimum of 20 years. Additionally, you must have paid at least 10% of your loan to be eligible and you get up to $45,000 in forgiveness. This program is very beneficial however, it only applies to those who have taken out a federal loan. What about those that have private loans? In my research, I learned that some private loans will forgive you of your loans but you have to work for it. I think this is a very unfair program especially for local students who don't have a choice. There are lots of determined students that deserve to be forgiven because they may just be the ones that change the world. This program should cover all loans. If I, when the time comes, take out a private loan and can not afford to pay it back, please let me be forgiven!

Should Obama be re-elecected? My position to this topic would be to choose who would be the best canidate and who will represent me 100%. I do not think he should or he shouldn't. To be truthful about the situation I believe everyone, including myself, was excited about having an African American running for president. However, do you think he made a good president, or you really didn't pay attention to his work? Were you pleased by his campaign, or his race? Let us see. Statistis show that 95% of Obama's votes came from African Americans during the 2008 elecetion. As we quickly approach election time again, do you think he will be re-elected. i am anxious to see this out come. Believe it or not many people have changed their minds about him, while others are all for him. One big issue I commend Obama on is healthcare. When I get of age I want to be able to retire and be taken care of. It is degrading to see elderly people who can not be taken care of. So, when the polls come out will you vote for Obama?
