Student SPHere 2008-09

This past week was very worrisome for me, and I am sure that I am not alone. I really don’t understand much about the Wall Street and the market. I have been reading on internet about those things, but still have hard time understanding them.
I don’t have to be an economist to feel the actual tension at work place. I found couple of times colleges crying because they are very scared of the situation. Some of them may loose they homes. At work, at the University of Minnesota Medical Center Fairview, we received an email that there was going to be a lay off. Nobody knows what is going to happen. For sure the economic difficulties will affect education also. The presidential candidates are now talking about education plan. I listen a lot to MPR radio station. Today they were talking about how family will have problem to send their children in college in the future. They also talked about the loan forgiveness program during Clinton era. If anybody knows that kind of program it is, please let me know. I am very optimistic and I believe the situation will get better, but it is scary sometimes to think about all these debts when you are a student. That is why I also encourage all students to go out on the 4th of November and vote for what they believe. Vote for a good education, health care and economic plans. It is our civic duty and it is a privilege to have an opportunity to vote. We all love the USA, and we want the best for all citizens. It is a great country with great people.
