I am a college student, but I am not your typical college student. I am almost forty years old. I got married and started a family shortly after my high school graduation. After I got divorced, I decided to go to college to further my education. I want to get a better job, so I will be better prepared to raise my children on my own. I applied for private student loans without cosigner. I have a good credit rating, so I am hopeful that I will qualify for the loans.
