From TheHardestYear.com Growing up on a farm in rural Ohio, Jared Rowley would daydream about city life and one day going to college. It was a dream not shared by his parents. So after high school graduation, Jared was on his own. He made his way to Ohio University, but college life was far from what he imagined it would be. There were no freshman dorm hijinks, not when you had to live in your car. Going to school full-time while working two part-time jobs started taking its toll on Jared's body and spirit. He could barely scrape by and was steadily going deeper into debt. By the time winter rolled around he felt his dream of earning a degree slipping away. See the full story at TheHardestYear.com
