This project opened my eyes to how expensive college really is. I will have to work hard in order to pay off my loans after school. I also realized how hard my parents must work in order to pay off their student loans. They are near the end of their payments, and the fact that they’ve been paying so much money my whole life is surprising. I am also grateful because my parents are willing to help out a lot with my college. Education is very important to them, and I realize that I am very lucky because of this. This project connects to communication, because it provided a way for me to express my goals to other people.
