about
My name is Devin Lindsey or Vinny as my sister calls me! I am 17 years old and go to Bethel Park High school. I loooove swimming along with dancing, singing, and playing softball. I also run varsity track with is alright i supose too.My favorite colors are orange, pink, and blue. I love to be crazy and have a good time
I've had a job working for 15+ monthes so I can answer alot about that
and I know alot about relationships in general so I can be helpful with that sometimes
especially with parent child relationships
I am a very observant person and tend to know more and care about more than most my age
and I really believe in volunteering to help animals especially at shelters. Usually its not their fault that they have to live their and its usually horrible cercimstances that bring them there and I feel terrible that they can't speak for themselves and people are too caught up in spending like $500 on this cute little pure breed puppy from a breeder just into getting rich instead of giving one of these dogs another chance at life (there are usually a handful of dogs under a year old so the i want a puppy excuse doesn't work with me)
My baby is named Lainey Mae... we got her from a shelter about 2 hours away from us when she was 7 weeks old. she is now 2 years old and the center of our family. unfortunately someone was cruel enough to go down and drug up and shoot (but luckly not kill) most of the dogs plus rob the owner (just like someone did at the shelter where I volunteer) and its now shut down
advice
ok so im always hearing, on tv shows, "if we could afford it, i'd love to go to..bla bla bla..(name of university) and things like that, yet i often hear "all it takes is the good grades, and then there's always a fund, or a loan that will pay for university"
you know what im saying? llike if there's always a way to pay for the university of your choice, than howcome the wholeworld doesn't choose the best universities?? like ok, you'll be in dept for a while cause you have to pay back, but if you borrow ALOT and get into a awesome collage than you'll have a bigger chance of becoming something successful so you'll be able to pay back everything..am i making any sense? you know what im saying? like why is money a big issue for people who are choosing univerities or collages?
Because it's not that easy. There isn't always a way. If your just an average white male student with an average income your chances of any kind of financial help or scholarships is very slim.
And just because you graduate from a big school doesn't really help your chances of making more money. Say you want to be a teacher Going to a large school maybe help you find work faster yes but most teachers are all going to start out at the bottom and have to work their way up no matter where they go.
And you don't get to choose how much you can borrow. You are basically told. You apply for what you want and either get accepted or rejected for that loan.
Also who wants to be in debt all of their lives? Like my father went to a pretty small school and now works for a job where he gets payed pretty well and it still took him until he was in his late 30s to pay it all off. because you get a house and get married and have kids.
Like i would love to go to a private college but its $40,000 a semester for most of them compared to 10-20,000 i can pay at a state school for just as good of an education.
and finally who wants to be in a collage. Its just a group of pictures. I would much rather go to a collEge
