<p>I posted this in another thread, but wanted to voice my discontent on a slightly larger scale, so here we go again:</p>
<p>My Dad will be writing our appeal tonight. Wellesley is my dream school and I know my parents want to make my dreams come true more than anything, but it just won't be possible with the aid (or rather, lack thereof) that Wellesley is providing. In other words, I'm getting absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>The rich can go to college and the poor to go to college, but what of the middle class? Do I have to wait for the next generation when I'll then be needy enough, having graduated from a sub-standard state school, to afford my kid a full ride? I know I'm being dramatic, and I know that I've been given opportunities in my life that I will be forever grateful for, but this is the big opportunity that is just out of my and my parents' reach. The voice in my head tells me to shut up and accept how lucky I've been so far, but I can't help but feel it's unfair that I won't be able to go to the school that sent letter after letter in the mail advertising their "highly generous" financial aid program, getting up the hopes of my entire family.</p>
<p>I wish I could defer my enrollment for a year and work my ass of, but I don't think my parents would be too supportive of that. I feel like there's absolutely no hope that this will work, and all of my aspirations have pretty much been crushed. Thanks for admitting me, Wellesley, just so you could throw my dreams you've so carefully cultured through assorted papers and pamphlets down the drain.</p>
