There is a million ways to pay for college

Scholarships for College
    
    College is could get really expensive, this is a fact. Since I was getting ready for college, I had to look to the most affordable career that would get me the best experience and qualification for the real world. I created my web page since I was in high school where I have a summary of my life, kind of a resume but not formal, where I have from education and sports activities and accomplishments to a draft of my professional career. Also, I included a bunch of scholarships that I applied in order to lower the cost of my education. 


    Since I created this web page that was initially for the mere purpose of having a simple way of showing others what my life has been about, I have been getting a lot of requests from scholarships to post their offers on my page. This a way of reaching out to young people that are looking at how to pay for their education and find it on as many pages that relate to us as possible. Since then, I added a whole section about it and I hope that it helps as many people as possible. Here are some tips and search engines that will help you all if interested.

The rule is free money first (scholarships and grants), then earned money (work-study), then borrowed money (federal student loans).

Finding a Job during COVID-19 as a senior in college

     Getting a job after graduation is one part of the American dream as a college student that comes from another country. I have been doing internships in the past three years to get the necessary experience that any employer wants to see in their applicants.       Besides this, I have also been working on my Resume  and  my  LinkedIn profile . Basically, I have been trying to build a well-rounded profile for myself in order to stand out a bit compared to other applicants that are trying to accomplish the same as me.           Also, I have polished  my web page  to highlight a few of my life accomplishments in academics and sailing.      Nevertheless, I am getting closer to graduating and I have not heard back from any of the multiple jobs that I have applied for.  This is a major setback for my career, but I have to realize that these are hard times for everyone trying to find a job.
