Today
I receive my Cleveland State University Perkins student loan payoff letter. In
it the university says that since I’ve paid off my loan, my money will be used
to make loans to other students. That’s an unknown added bonus for me because I
know the struggle. Although I graduated
12 years ago, I know what it’s like to be struggling for money. I worked at the
Upward Bound and took out Perkins loan to afford the tuition. Luckily, I was an
Ohioan so I received the in-state rate.
My Cleveland State University education has helped me land a GS-9
Economist position in my first government job.
Currently I am a GS-14. I want my money to go to current students so
that they can have the same if not greater opportunities than I do. Below is my payoff letter.
Paying it
forward just doesn’t stop with new students. It continues with me because now I
am more motivated to payoff my American University tuition debt. I will use my tax refund to pay it off
because it has been 3 years since I last matriculated. It should be over by
now!
