my college education was not free, but close to it. i CHOSE not to use all of the money b/c in this day and age, i personally don't think ppl should receive money $$ b/c of their ancestors. i also chose to pay for school some out of pocket so i'd have a better grasp on the 'real picture' of life. to this day i wouldn't have it any other way.
receive checks, nope. i'm a working american and every dime i make/receive is from my job.
and if you must know, cherokee is one of the most common, but if you also noticed, i stated exactly WHAT tribe we're from. not many ppl can do that.
