What is the Government trying to prove
Tuesday, August 9th, 2005This is something that I wrote a long time ago, just thought that I would let it out again
I wonder sometimes if the bureaucracy of the government has a purpose, and if the government really wants people to get a good education. I will tell you why I think this way. I applied for a federal student loan over the Christmas break so that I can continue to get my electrical engineering degree. I sent in what I thought was going to be my last piece of documentation the first week of January, but since the office there “gets thousands and thousands of faxes a day” (quoted to me over the phone), it wasn’t till the 15th of January that they actually put it in my file. Well I called this office in question on Monday asking politely the status of my file, I was told it hadn’t been touched yet since they only got the information they needed a couple of days ago. (you know it must sit there for at least 1 week before they touch it). I was very polite to them and the woman on the phone asked me to give her my contact phone number and she would try to push my application through. I thought that I was just blown off at the time since she hung up directly after I gave her my last digit.
