Meet the Applicants- John

Monday, September 28, 2009

John is a senior at San Marcos High School with a goal of buying a vehicle that is both affordable and fuel efficient.

His goal is to be able to afford a car completely on his own, including expenses such as gas money, insurance, maintenance and repair, and most importantly, the vehicle itself. By owning his own car, he wouldn't have to rely on his parents or friends to drive him around when he needs to be somewhere. He won't miss out on opportunities when he doesn't have a ride.

He believes that once he achieves this goal, he will be able to succeed in his education and career, as he will no longer be dependent on others to take him places.
