i got approved for a scholarship for college that i had been competing for for many months ! nice ! i wish i was more active in searching for scholarships like it sounds like you are . but this one sounds like it was a lot of hard work to earn . i have n't been the smartest about lightening the student loan debt burden while in school . good on you for looking ahead . i agree , i wanted to attend a higher ranking school but they did n't give me any scholarship so i decided not to accept their offer . sometimes compromises have to be made . but i have to say , i 'm impressed that you were that self-aware about the entire process , especially as a somewhat new adult . good for you for considering all the options and making the choice you felt was best . you sound like you 'll be successful after college , especially because of how hard-working you are .
