And then, to add insult to injury, I had to actually work my way through college, but never found enough funds.

Wait a second. You were third in your class, had (I'm assuming based on my own class' Valet/Salut) higher than a 4.0, and you couldn't get any scholarships? I'm sorry to bring this up again, but WTH is with that?

I went to a small private high school that didn't have AP classes. So, my gpa was 3.908. One measly B one measly semester of Algebra 2. Sheesh.
I qualified for millions of scholarships, especially with my ethnic background/extra curricular activities. But only one scholarship was actually awarded to me, though I applied for hundreds of them. And it was a pathetic scholarship that basically just paid for my books each semester. Last year, when I tried to go back, despite everything good going for me, No One would give me a scholarship. Once again, I had applied for hundreds of scholarships I qualified for, and they kept awarding them to other people.
The system is jacked. A lower-middle class works-for-a-living person can't get help. We make too much money, even though we barely keep food on the table.
