I recevied a letter this week from a person named Morgan from Arizona. Morgan graduated from high school several years ago but never pursued a college education. The reality of adult life is that without education or training after high school, many career paths and doorways to opportunity remain closed.
The other reality is that education of any kind is pretty expensive these days. Tuition, books and materials and other fees can add up quickly, even for commuter students at community colleges or those attending classes online.
Morgan asked if I could contribute to his/her ambitions to obtain a degree. My answer was yes.
I will send Morgan $500 to use toward education expenses. It's a small part of what will be a very expensive but very worthwhile pursuit.
Morgan - best of luck to you in your field of study!
