I went to tech school on a Pell grant. I had no idea what I wanted to do, so I listened to my mom who said, "if you can type, you can get a job". I took a secretarial class. Today I'm an office manager and business owner. We were dirt poor growing up and without that grant I would have never been able to attend school or give my child the fairly comfortable life that she had. I'm glad the gov't increased the awarded amount, I only hope that the kids who take advantage of the grant understand and appreciate that the taxpayer is counting on them to make the most of it.
