| Hi, all -- College has never been more necessary than in our 21st century economy. But college has also never been more expensive. That’s why President Obama is pushing to make college more affordable -- so that students who work hard aren't saddled with crippling debt once they graduate. So when President Obama traveled to Syracuse, NY a few weeks back, we met with Michelle -- a single mother, who pursued higher education so that she and her kids could have a better life. But paying back her those loans hasn't been easy. Watch Michelle's story, and then forward it to a friend. Michelle doesn't want a handout. She just wants a a fair shot at the American dream -- that idea that if you work hard, you can get ahead. That's the kind of story I keep in mind every day here at the White House -- and I know the President does, too. As we continue to push to help our students and our economy, we're going to need your help lifting up powerful stories like Michelle's -- and telling your own -- so that people know how important this issue is, and so that students in the future can get the help they need. Check out the video to watch her story:
