I am aware that by simply looking at my FAFSA, this committee would disregard my need for financial aid. However, there many things that my FAFSA cannot tell you.

This banter back and forth has become a daily phenomena, and my father, siblings, and I are quite annoyed with it. Later that day, as the Chex mix and cooking baking continued, we tragically needed to know where the butter went.
