However, I trust you will find the goal of helping college students and graduates, as they begin their work lives, to be a worthy cause as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I work with undergraduate college students, and the number one concern expressed is the student loan debt they and their families have incurred.  Borrowing money to attend college is a must for many families, and without the loans – well, opportunities to be productive citizens are limited, opportunities to achieve life goals are limited, and opportunities for economic growth are also limited.  However, beginning one’s work life $20,000, $40,000 or more in debt is daunting, and in its own way…limiting!  “Catch-22”   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slowly, the word is getting out about the goals of this website and students are beginning to create their profiles.  You will find young people who are artists; some who are working for non-profit organizations; and some who are still in college.  All are striving to create a sustainable and productive life and that comes with a high price tag!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a moment to read student profiles—you may find a student you want to support.  If so, feel free to email the student and engage in a conversation to learn more.  Or, consider donating to the general fund, and feel free to contact me at kbostwick@mchsi.com&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do a little.  Do what you can.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sidney Smith&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4469282437384365643-8634200693095828582?l=mytincup.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mytincup.blogspot.com/feeds/8634200693095828582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4469282437384365643&amp;postID=8634200693095828582' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4469282437384365643/posts/default/8634200693095828582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4469282437384365643/posts/default/8634200693095828582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mytincup.blogspot.com/2007/11/welcome.html' title='Welcome'/><author><name>KA</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15050212411734243914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
