For my group “Boots and Moccasins” my team members and I decided to cover a subject that we could all relate to. So for our group presentation we answered the question, “Is college worth the stress?”. One of the biggest stressors we talked about is money. College is all about money. You have to pay thousands f dollars for room and board and tuition. Your cost can range anywhere into five figures. Its impossible to just get tens of thousands of dollars out of nowhere, unless you rich, so you are expected to take out loans. Loans provide another stress because you have to worry about paying back accumulated interest as well as the money you borrowed, or it may hurt your credit score. But other ways to get money are through grants and scholarships. This is money you don’t need to pay back, but there is of course a requirement to getting these. College stress doesn’t just lie within money. Stress in college can come from a variety of sources like the financial aid office, administration, peer pressure, roommates and of course grades. But after going through all the stress, there are benefits of going to college. As a college graduate you are likely to make more money in your life. You make lifelong friends who have the same goals as you do. And for people like me, becoming a doctor requires a lot of schooling and degrees so school is my only option.
