I Teach (Or Try To)
For the last 34 years, I've attempted to teach English to students who, for the most part, do not want to learn English. Have you ever tried to teach a puppy to sit? The puppy has no desire to sit. The puppy wants to frolic, run, play with toys. The last thing a puppy wants to do is sit. It's pretty much the same trying to teach students English.

How To: Get Rid of Student Loans Fast
When I first learned about this method, I did not believe it. I have read so many articles about decreasing student loans that all basically listed the same ideas. "Attack it aggressively," "use tax benefits," "FAFSA," and blah blah blah. The redundancy of all the same ideas made me feel even deeper in the whole. After years of searching, I have found a way that I have never heard of to get rid of student loans fast. I had no idea this existed or why everyone was not doing this, so I thought "this surely must be a scam." I can assure you that this is no scam, and that this method WORKS! And this is NOT some clickbait article that claims "creditors don't want you to know this," because actually creditors love this method.

Dear Liz
Dear Liz, I have always returned home after summer vacation with a certain amount of dread. This state of elevated anxiety is the result of many years of conditioning—years of returning from one glorious vacation or another to find some bombshell awaiting either in my email or magnetically preserved on my ancient answering machine. Your email ensures that the tradition is alive and well.

Before I really pour my thoughts into this topic, I'd like to clarify a few things: I am a PROUD product of an HBCU (Historically Black College or University), having grew up in the shadow of the campus of Washington DC's Howard University, and having matriculated at both the University of The District Of Columbia, and Alabama State University.
