Dear Julio,

How has your college search been going? I have been looking into many schools
myself. Georgia has so many options for college choices. Im sure that California
has some great options too. I have been doing some research about how to pay for
college. It is quite a bit more than I thought it was. Dave Ramsey is a financial
teacher and he recommends going through college debt free. I am going to try to
avoid student loans in my college search. Student loans seem like an enticing
option, but I have learned that they will leave you with payments for many years to
come. There is many ways to pay for college including scholarships and grants. I
am going to be using the HOPE scholarship to help pay for my college. This is an in
state scholarship here in Georgia, but I am sure that California has some great in
state scholarships as well. Best of luck in your college search! I hope to see you
soon on our next family vacation!
Sincerely,
Tanner Still
