Life is not easy at times and as they are well in their 20’s. The best lesson learned is how to survive on your own as they are adults giving up somethings to obtain other things.

They need to make hard decisions learning how to survive first, drop some extra curricular activities exchanging that time for a part time job, and college is second. They can drop down to 12 hours and work which a lot of people do while earning their college degree.

I feel bad that they lost a parent at an early age. Just do not feel bad that they have not learned a valuable lesson in life how to make decisions on time management to survive while obtaining your goals.

Have to kind of agree. I went to college with a lot of people in shitty situations.

I'm not saying people shouldn't help, just saying that at a school like LSU, there are probably thousands of students who could write a similar story/request. So if one deserves help from the public at large, then they all deserve help, which lends itself to a lot of programs and free tuition scenarios that a lot of people here are generally against.

I gotta agree. A lot of people have to work in college. Or you get student loans to pay for the things you need to get by. They aren’t gonna get this again, so I hope they learn from it and make arrangements to pay their own way after the money runs out. It’s a shitty situation but they’re adults and they need to take care of themselves, their mom shouldn’t have been paying for all of their stuff anyway. And i doubt she was if she’s not leaving them enough inheritance to pay for a semester of schooling. Honestly kinda sounds like they’re taking advantage of the situation
