My name is Ashley Dupin and I chose to do my presentation on my all time favorite musician, David Bowie. He was a man of incredible talents and was born January 8th 1947.

(David Bowie,2017). His Characters include Major Tom, The Thin White Duke, and, his most famous, Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy was designed by Bowie to be the “perfect” rock superstar. Bowie projected his own personal struggles onto Ziggy in the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars which was released in 1972. The album touched on topics such as: Bowie’s sexuality, his addiction to drugs, his fears of disappointing…

Millions of post-grads find themselves with student-loan debt in amounts that are outstanding. While the Pell Grants and other forms of aid exist, balances amount so high that students find them paying them off near their later years in life such as fifties or even sixties.
