A “Bright Future” for Some “’There’s a lot to be said for receiving aid because you worked hard for it‚’ said Florida state representative Marti Coley.” While this is true‚ how hard do you really have to work to maintain a mere 3.0 high school grade point average and score a 20 on the ACT (a score that wouldn’t even grant you admission to many universities)?

If you are an early riser‚ you would know how blissful mornings can be. At dawn‚ the first rays of the sun gently caress
