I will never forget one day in my first year in high school．I was sitting on the stairs，putting my head in my hands and crying out to my parents because I would never be able to save enough money for college．My parents tried to comfort me，but it seemed impossible to save＄64，268，the cost for the private college that I wanted to enter．
Now let me tell you the amazing story of how I saved this sum of money．It all began with a newspaper route in Ankeny，IA．I hated delivering*newspapers that route，but decided to continue for six months until my family moved to Wausau．With a few dollars from my newspaper route，a small nest egg began to develop．My next job was working in an athletic company．The money continued to grow very slowly．Half a year later，I worked for a fruit store．Then，when I was in junior high school，I began to be a waitress at Denny's restaurant．It was hard work，but the money began to roll．
By the time my senior year arrived，I had saved a large sum of money．This was encouraging，but I knew that I would also need some help，so I began to apply for scholarships．Sometimes I got upset because I was rejected again and again．Then，my first scholarship offer came in，＄2，000 a year to play tennis．This is only a small sum of money at a school that costs about＄14，000a year，but it was a start．Several other scholarships also came and soon I was up to have＄9，050in scholarships．With scholarships and savings，I saved enough money for my first year．
Several years later，I was off to college．Because of careful saving，I did not have to work during the school year．
