Effortless

They only financial aid process I experienced was during my application process to get into the University. As part of the application they check your grades and based on your grades you receive the Cincinnatus Scholarship. To me I felt like everyone received this and had there been a little more effort needed more money could be awarded to the students.

Its All a Competition

My freshman year I was in the pre-nursing program which was a competition to get accepted into the nursing program. After losing that competition I changed my major to Medical Imaging, which is just yet another competition. I understand wanting the best students for the majors so that the jobs are being filled with the best there is. However, when I was a litter girl I was told I could become anything I wanted and I don't think how you look on paper should judge what you become. Sometimes I feel that if I went to a small local school then I would be able to do what I want but that's settling for the small town school. I shouldn't have to change my dreams and leave the school I love just to get the degree I've already paid so much money for. I dislike how competitive every major is and I feel like in order to graduate I have to focus harder on getting accepted into the college I want instead of focusing on the actual school work and studies.
