    Is an article about a woman named Brenda Smalls which speaks about how she wanted to pay $20,000 for nursing school. Until she had an injury and couldn't complete her goals. Now she owes more than $39,000 and she says she can't afford to pay it all. Brenda Smalls ends up saying..

    "It's just unbearable to have that type of weight on you and you can't do anything about it,"

    This just shows me that some people just can't afford the cost of college. and should have a good plan before entering college.
