Best & Brightest: The War Vet, Financial Aid Activist and Ivy League Student

by Mary Annette Pember , September 9, 2009

          However, going to war is expensive and ugly. Was going to war necessary? I don't know. But I do know this: to take care of those around us, we must first take care of ourselves.

          I am writing to you not only on my behalf, but for the well-being of my country and my family. The federal financial aid system is deleting a majority of those students in need of financial aid. With state budget cuts, tuition continues to rise and the climb towards success is getting steeper. For some students seeking higher education, the financial aid options are slim. I feel as though these problems are often overlooked.

          As a result, like a cancerous disease, problems like these will continue to grow to the point of no return, and we will watch -- a dying nation.)
