2nd meeting (PTO) hometown

Going back to my highschool was a little wierd because I havent walked through the hallways thier in a few years. Moving on the PTO meeting was held in the library and the topic was applying for financial aid. The focus was on juniors and seniors as well as their parents. The meeting had a good turn and the library was packed, their wasn't an extra seat avaialbe for myself. The highschool is lucky enough to have a teacher who was previoulsy employed at a High School financial aid department. He is responsible for holding the meeting and explaining to the students and their famalies the importance of apllying for Fafsa. The library was a little hot and uncomfortable but I dealt with it. The parnets were very interested in the information the speaker was providing. They asked many questions and some parents were even taking notes. At the end the speaker offered his services for free and explained that he would be available to every student that needed him to fill out their own fafsa. I was only dissapointed with the lack of handouts made avaiable to the guest. The should have had more available.
