The volunteer work that you do, does that qualify you for grants and loans or do you just do it?

I just do it. I work a few days a week with something like your YMCA. It not only helps guide local youth down the right path, but gives them an affordable place to do more constructive things than just hang out. A lot of kids there in the same situation I used to be in, so I don't mind helping.
Not to mention, it's police operated, and you can't get a better referance than that.

I equivicate the type of government assistance that you are receiving with a little something called a "student loan.

Similar maybe...the price of my course was subsidised a little, as was my equipment. In this country, you can also recieve ongoing payments (something called austudy) while studying to assist you in general living and expenses. The more you work yourself, the less these payments become, they endorse actually earning it, and as it helps with my skills, I don't mind doing a night or two per week at my college restaurant, sure, I could work more, but I'd rather actually focus on my studies more...and having the oppertunity to do so is great, something I will rightfully use to my advantage.

Also, my father is part of indigenous Americans. He's part Cherokee. When he went to college they offered him scholarships and grants because of it. He didn't take them, thinking that it wouldn't be right.

Very respectable...nobodys race should completely pave their way, and I'm against attitudes to the contrary...just because I'm not part of a minority myself, does not mean that I can't see there's always two sides to things, and two kinds of people, of ANY race.
