    I want to tell a story. When I was in like 3rd grade, I went with my mom while she dropped some drugs off (yes, she was). Anyways. She left me in the car. This guys comes out to “watch” me and it’s just me and him. He looks over and asks. “You don’t know what a haiku is, do you?”

    Love you Dave. Thank you for teaching me how to change a tire, replace my brakes, watching every episode of the Simpson’s with me, saving my life literally countless times.. always said “you can have a good life in spite of your mom, or a bad 1 bc of her”. I chose the good life.

    I woke up last night. At 1 am on the dot. I literally could not fall back asleep, so I laid there until 4. And then got up and went to lab. They tried reviving him from 1-4am. It’s like in some weird way my body felt that energy. I just didn’t know.

    Anyways. On that day he vowed to make sure I always made it to school. My mother was in her own world, doing and dealing drugs. When I tell you this guy drove me and picked me up so he KNEW I went everyday.. he literally did my homework with me.

    He took me to all the important things in my life. He became family. The closest thing to a father figure I’ve ever had honestly. He was my best friend. He saved my life. Tonight I got a call from his sister. He died unexpectedly from a (possible) heart attack @ around 1am.

    Anyways. He’s gone. I’m probably gonna be a weirdo for a while. Sorry in advance. I just needed to get that out. There is so much more but I just know I would not be where I am without him.

    I responded “yeah, it’s a traditional Japanese poem consisting of 3 lines and in the pattern of 5-7-5 syllables.” I remember I had just written one in class. He freaked out and told me I was the smartest person he has ever met. I was literally like 8.

    Thank you to everyone for the kind words. I was not expecting anyone to even see this, but I am so so happy everyone knows how amazing he was. I will continue to fight and be a Dave in my life. And I pray that I can change someone’s life like he changed mine. ❤️

    I worked my butt off during undergrad working 2 sometimes 3 jobs going to school FT (12+ units in STEM)... I still had to take out pell grants to make it through. If this happens, I’ll be student loan debt-free... pleasepleaseplease be true.

    In keeping with my campaign promise, my Administration is announcing a plan to give working and middle class families breathing room as they prepare to resume federal student loan payments in January 2023. I'll have more details this afternoon.
    The Biden Administration's Student Loan Debt Plan: Forgiving debt: $20,000 if you went to college on Pell Grants $10,000 if you didn't receive Pell Grants Forgiveness only applies to those earling less than $125,000 Student loan pause extended one final time through Dec 31, 2022 Payment based on income: If you have undergraduate loans, you can cap repayment at 5% of your monthly income.

    Not bad for a girl who grew up in foster care, didn’t graduate high school, failed a few classes, got waitlisted for grad school bc of said grades, had her younger brother and father figure die within 2 years, no publications, and horrid anxiety and depression....
