“At last I came to college. I rushed for it with the outstretched arms of youth's aching hunger to give and take of life's deepest, and highest, and I came against the solid wall of the well-fed, well-dressed world - the frigid whitewashed wall of cleanliness. ... How I pinched, and scraped, and starved myself, to save enough to come to college! Every cent of the tuition fee I paid was drops of sweat and blood from underpaid laundry work. And what did I get for it? A crushed spirit, a broken heart, a stinging sense of poverty that I never felt before.” WorldGivingWellsHeartEnoughLastsSpiritFeltEducationPovertyBloodYouthCollegeBrokenWallArmsHighestPaidHungerDisappointmentFedsSweatCentsCrushedCleanlinessLaundryFeesGive And TakeTuitionWell DressedFrigidUnderpaid Author:Anzia Yezierska
