Good job!
I would be sad, but happy I didn't have to deal with all of the loans while I was being sad about a death. If I had a lot of money I would do something like this, but student loans are a lot of money.
I would be sad too and I would try to help someone pay off their loans. Just to help someone else.
I would be really upset about my father but a lot of students parents dont pay for their kids college so she should have been able to keep them and paid for them herself. Also no I would not help pay off her debts it wasn't for my college.
I would be upset too and it's a good point how you said that a lot of parents don;t help their kids with collage fees.
I would be very happy but she also lost her dad which is very sad and I wouldn't want that. That's great for her. I would help pay for them or do a fundraising.
I think it was a nice pay it forward to pay for her student loans. Student loans can be so high and hard to pay back.
They really are high and over $50,000 dollars is a lot of money
I would not know how to thank somebody if they did this to me. It would be so incredible because a lot of people struggle with that. Especially that much money.
I would be forever grateful to them.
