So, my classmates organized a walk out to protest the misappropriation of funds that seemed to hinder students from collevting refund checks. Less than 300 students on a campus of more than 5000 participated. The good news is that the demonstration seemed to work. Students are already finding refund balances posted to their accounts. Also, the administration has decided not to drop the classes of those who still have financial aid problems until after Sept. 17. I was proud to see students come together for a common cause. Our voices are definitely stronger as a unit than as individuals. I look forward to the rest of this senior year. Maybe this is the year we'll have enough participation to build clean wells in Africa, or host a debate between District Rep. Candidates and or rally around the Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate(who supports a lottery; Lottery in Ga gives students more funds for school..aka...Hope Grant). Maybe it's time to address crime on campus, or pin point the reason our graduation and retention rates are so low. Or, maybe not...After all...even the great Lil Wayne says that "Money is the motivation." This is my blog...just saying...
