I could have written this. It was ditto, ditto, ditto for me. I went to the hometown college (Ohio State University). I did live off campus, but in a shared house. I worked summers and part time to finance my tuition, while my parents paid for my books and board. I paid back any student loans I had to take out.
This is a character-building sort of endeavor, a side benefit of college education. Would you deprive these poor snowflakes of an experience they really seem to need badly and pay off those loans? And why the heck SHOULD I pay off someone else's loan? They too good to roll up their sleeves and work for what they want, like I did?
Right. And I’m guessing that you’re like me in feeling that we didn’t do anything that was out of the grasp of anyone else.
I’m proud of what I did, but it’s really not all that impressive. Anyone could have done what I did.
Anyone CAN do what I did.
