It was 1987 when I started my college journey at Adams State College — now Adams State University — in Alamosa, Colorado. I graduated in May 1995 with my bachelor's in psychology and started graduate work in counseling. What I borrowed between my undergraduate and graduate work was about $60,000, and it ballooned to more than $200,000 because of the compound interest. I wanted to pay my student loans, but it was more important to provide for my family. My student loans were finally forgiven under the Biden administrationIn July, I received an email from the Education Department saying I was eligible to have my loans forgiven.
