thumper1 is correct in that your parents don’t have to pay for your college education. You should get onto Kahn Academy and start doing practice tests for both the ACT and SAT. Prepare yourself well for the PSAT. If you do well on that test maybe you could be a merit finalist. Also find via search engine websites that have scholarship information. There are thousands of different kinds of scholarships that if you write a good essay that you could win money for college. If you really want to go to college you will use the information that all of us have given you and move forward to reach your goals. Good luck !
