Because I’m an American citizen, I was able to receive a federal Pell Grant, along with various federal loans. Without these programs, my life would be much different today. After completing my master’s degree, I was overcome with emotion, realizing that a poor Black kid from a small Kansas town, raised by a single mother who only had a GED, had a chance to build an impactful life. While I’m not always happy with our country, I’m always proud of the opportunities it provides and proud to be an American.
