Money Grows on Trees, Right?

Hi, Lyndsee, how are you?  What are you planning to do after high school?  This question seems to be popping up more and more as my senior years comes closer to the end.  In all sincerity, to all those people wondering, I have no idea.  Although I my dream is to attend UNL, the tuition cost is now my enemy.  How am I going to pay for this?  I find that scholarships are more focused towards minoritys or those with financial difficulties, which is not me.  My mom likes to say that I was born with a silver painted spoon in my mouth.  My dad grew up with nothing, with has made him a hard worker to the extent that he is as far up in NPPD as he can go.  I have found this to be a good thing, until college came into my mind.  Now, about all my family can talk about it money.  Every other sentence spoken is, "Have you applied to any scholarships lately?"  I find myself in the middle ground, not poor, but not rich.  That fact eliminates about half of the scholarships in Nebraska.  Now all I can hope for is a flexible job next autumn and I attend the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and some handsome scholarships.  Oh, and some hefty loans that I will have to pay off in about the next 10 years hopefully.  Otherwise, I'm good, how are you?
