Help My Son Go To College!

    Although my son Nicholas is only ten years old, I have worried about college from the very first day he was born. How do I cope...not very well! I am a single mom, and his father hasn't paid me one cent of child support in the last ten years!   His father was in and out of our lives for a little while, until my son was four. We moved to Florida after his father went to prison, and  I am happy to have my son away from such a dispicable person, but do wish that he had sent those child support all these years...it would have been a great help for college.

     I work as much as I can, but I myself wasn't fortunate enough to go to college. I work in a resturant, and I struggle every day to make ends meet. I am always behind on my bills, and I just don't want my son to have to live the same way when he is older. I would love to be able to send him to college so that he can get a decent job, and not have to go through what I go through every day.

     I love my son, and I really want to be picked to win this college money for him. He is a sweet, deserving child. He has compassion for every living being. He is really a joy to be around, and I am not just saying that because I am a proud mother...I have had people throughout his life, babysitters, other kids parent's, neighbors, and teachers all tell me what a great kid he is.  He deserves to be able to go to college, and do something more with his life then his mother was able to do. Although I do struggle every day though, I wouldn't change a single thing if I could go back in time, because if I did that, I wouldn't have this remarkable little boy!
