Loan Referrals

The parent’s role on the students’quest for federal loan assistance

A couple decides to get married and then proceeds to have children. Each one of their children will require sustenance, divertimento, and education. It is of this latter part than most parents will devote endless white nights trying to make the right decision and provide their offspring with the best possible education available.

Despite the fact that most basic education begins at home, when parents strive to teach the children the basic rules of moral, ethics and acceptable social behavior. As soon as they grow older and the natural anxiety of the children begins to overwhelm them with needs of exploring the world for themselves as well as their own need of a higher education, parents see themselves relinquished into the background and often shushed.

Even when shushing parents is a regular and quite standard situation amongst all half grown up children since the beginning of teen hood and way deep into adulthood parents should remain present along the way. At least until the child has finally finished his or her schooling and achieve a degree, diploma, certificate or whatever it is that his or her chosen profession issues to the fully prepared professional.

Of course, none of this is easy and it requires additional levels of patience both from the side of the child as from the side of the parent.

This is ever more so evident when the child reaches the high level of education requirements.

Most households realize that their children are already grown up when the need for the child to present his or her applications to the different universities comes. When they realize, in no low degree of horror, that even with all the warning of the years behind, they did not prepare and did not consider the possibility that the child would require them to enter a high-cost educational institution.

As a result, the child might perceive that his or her dreams of a successful and fruitful life have come crashing down and that there is no more hope to revive them. Even if this is not entirely true. In turn, the relationship between parents and children will grow tenser until it bursts in constant quarrels and discussions with the evident death.

The destruction of the family is not a laughing matter. Years of cruel and unbelievable events such as Columbine, Virginia Tech and the like have proved that family life is the angle stone on which most of society’s problems are emerged and counteracted.
