<p>Miss, you are fortunate to be going to an excellent school with good financial aid. That is not always the case. Most students are not in the situation you are. I know you are going to hear all kinds of “fish” stories about how big someone’s award is, that may make you feel like you and your family are getting the short end of the stick. I advise you to just keep your mind on your own situation and how to improve it rather than trying to figure out what is going on with others.</p>
