Step up?! You don't become a billionaire without creating new technologies, jobs, etc. that everyone benefits from! What have you ever contributed that compares? I'm sure nothing!
Right. Sometimes what we think might be a great failures can turn out being a great blessings. I believe everything that happens in life is always for a good cause, good or bad.
@@rikanejose2611 I was supposed to graduate from my community college at 2018 and then transfer somewhere the following fall semester. I was kind of upset since I failed classes and had to retake them, which made me graduate a year late. Now I'm going to U of I in Urbana Champaign, where they said tuition is free for incoming qualifying fall 2019 students. I qualify.
The Bible says it's better to give than to receive. Amen!!! The message is if you work hard for something, you can achieve anything in life. All things are possible with GOD. I know that the loan companies are mad about this 😆😆😆, because as soon as you graduate they want you to set up a payment plan, but GOD paid the debt off.😉 Amen
@Johnny Dominguez i dont know maybe end all wars i dont know maybe we should stop giving 4.5 bil to isreal i dont know tell trump to cut back on golf expenses i dont know stop giving congress money when they dont work all year round i just dont know man
Someone is "always" watching not only when you are doing something wrong but also when doing something right... Early in life if you do what you are supposed to do hopefully later in life you can do whatever you want to do.
It’s almost unfathomable that a country boasting the highest concentration of billionaires not a single one has stepped up to use their wealth to ease the financial burdens of the working class
As of May 16, 2013, Bill Gates had donated $28 billion to the foundation.[1][10] Since its founding, the foundation has endowed and supported a broad range of social, health, and education developments including the establishment of the Gates Cambridge Scholarships at Cambridge University.
aaron jacques true, I was a recipient of the Bill and Melinda Gates scholarship. Not having a financial burden after college is such a blessing. I don’t take it for granted!
Paying forward is an amazing gesture that contributes for generations. Have two friends (I am white) that started the student non-violent demonstrations in Atlanta. They were students at Morehouse and Spellman. Lonnie King just made his transition after some major health issues. His former wife, Alice continues to pay it forward with her spirit and willingness to teach. Then of course Oprah made scholarships available and those she helped have form a group to do the same thing. They've raised hundreds of thousands. 👍🏻❤
Barbara P Ma’am, I have to say your statement on Capitalism is far and away off base. This billionaire philanthropist, Robert F. Smith, is a billionaire BECAUSE of Capitalism.
Not enough, we all should get free college. They don't pay enough with a college degree to make it work it. If companies require a college education they should pay for college education. To many companies now pass on Training to the people when it should be there job.
WHAT.?? If companies have to pay for your college then you should have to sing a contract with the company for like 20years do you want to work for a company for 20 years and not be able to get a new job????
They already pay for it with donations and taxes. Colleges collect massive amounts of cash from donations from corporations, dividends from investments and grants, and state and local taxes. They apparently pocket all this money and continue charging just as much for tuition, despite also receiving billions in financial aid from the federal government as well for low-income students. The price you pay for tuition is the price you can afford over the price of the loan, it has nothing to do with how much money everyone else is already paying into that college.
@@truimagz3441 Conflict of interest. I'd rather get my education from a 3rd party whom I pay directly for a good well-rounded education than get it directly from the company that stands to lose me to a competitor if they teach me too much.
really...if you ever own a business and have to hire someone, would you be willing to pay for their education? In a perfect world, maybe. Who is going to pay the teachers, the staff and everyone involved on your free education?
@@rochoa9520 I would pay the $600 to fly an educated person in from another country before I forked over $60,000 for a mediocre education from a typical college that basically teaches what any High School should already be teaching.
never would see this at a school with mostly white graduates. Good for all that dont have to pay for their debt their whole life. Go make this crap world better.
Finding Medicine Since when? Jesus saves its the truth besides him there is no other! Talk about finding Medicine! There is a balm in Gilead! There is a balm in Jesus for the whole world! couldn't have said better, finding Medicine
Some people are just a blessing to the world... Only God can bless a man to be a billionaire... God,source couldn't bless anyone with this amount of wealth if they were not a good person... money is spiritual energy...
Nobuhle Khumalo well I guess the premise lies on your perception of God. If you think God is about ruthlessness and exploitation for the purpose of self preservation, then I guess you are correct. But that is not how I view God. A billionaire does not accumulate that wealth from being God-like. They do so by any means necessary. By your logic figures like Pablo Escobar the cocaine kingpin are blessed by God to become the billionaires they became.
@@lreez977 well,lm not sure if you are genuinely sharing your opinion or attacking me for mine... am not here to fight it argue with you or anyone... Have a good evening✌
Nobuhle Khumalo my apologies was not trying to attack. Was just disagreeing that for a man to become a billionaire he must be blessed by God. Again was not trying to offend just offering a different perspective. You have a good day as well
I feel bad for the students that, like myself, went into the Army for the GI Bill & Army College Fund, AND got a job to pay for their tuition! What idiots! They got nothing in the deal.
Looks like he won't be speaking there anytime soon after admitting that $140M in back taxes to the IRS the other day. I wonder if he reneged on that pledge
wow . every comment on this post ,bar none is misplaced . these people are bitching about the loan makers ..... what about the biggest ripofffs out there . The colleges themselves . not a reason in the world a 4 year degree should cost what it does . as far as that goes, not a reason in the world a heart attack should cost $200,000 place your anger where it should be , with the place of services , not the insurers or loan makers . you wouldnt need either if the ACTUAL COST of education or health care were reasonable .
Because he attended this school which was established because whites didn't let blacks in their colleges. Also you're not native in the slightest "Troy Vincent". You don't even look mixed.
These kids are going to do the same one day. What a great man to step up and help.
OK Billionaires...time to step up. Where are your Classes. God Bless Mr. Smith.
Step up?! You don't become a billionaire without creating new technologies, jobs, etc. that everyone benefits from! What have you ever contributed that compares? I'm sure nothing!
B. L. Hahaha 😂 you’re kidding right?
B. L. How about pay for your own life choices.
Imagine not graduating on time and ending up graduating 2019. That’s God.

Something is wrong with it, it's called White Nationalism.

This what you call "Sharing the love" thank you sir,
@Luis D. I feel it's Wise for the old to help the young, how many of these graduates will help others?
@Luis D. millions for charity not a penny for tribute
Definitely a good deed!!! Now, How many of those graduates will pay it forward to help the next young man or woman?
Good man. Capitalism is too heavy for us to bear anymore.
Barbara P Ma’am, I have to say your statement on Capitalism is far and away off base. This billionaire philanthropist, Robert F. Smith, is a billionaire BECAUSE of Capitalism.
Let me guess. You want socialism?
I think the problem is that education costs too much. But I guess when there is high demand you get higher prices.

I'll believe it when I see the bank statement.
What makes you think that you're going to see a bank statement. Who tf are you?
the loans would have never been paid off anyways , lol the banks are loving it and are ready to invest the funds.
vaeagle1 Yup, I know several whites who have simply stopped paying.
