Sign of the Times.

Every semester, I impatiently wait for a check from school. The banks always give us poor people more money in loans than we need, in case tuition goes up or some other financial issue arises. But that never happens, so the school always cuts me a check for a few hundred dollars and sends me on my way.

The other day, I came home and sorted through the mailbox. There it was: A letter from Framingham State College. Surely, this was a big, fat, $400 check! My credit card company would be thrilled!

I opened up the letter.

"Dear Edward,

You made the President's List for getting good grades. Blah blah blah.

President Guy"

I tossed the letter aside. My dad asked, "Corey, what does that letter say?"

"Pssht, I made President's List."

"Coah, that's great!"

"But it's not MONEY."
