    Go to college: First, I have to graduate high school. College tuition is in the price range of $20,000-30,000 so when I receive a scholarship within this year or the next, that will help towards paying. I will also be applying for financial aid for other expenses such as a dorm room, supplies,etc. This a medium term plan because I am near to graduation. Saving up from my part time job will also contribute to the payment of my other semesters in school.
