Pursuing college despite financial struggles

I struggled financially, got denied 26 loan applications, and received minimal aid.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew more about alternative funding options or how to navigate the financial aid process."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't underestimate the impact of financial struggles on mental health and consider seeking help."
