>> Hi America, my name is Steven Sanders and let tell you a little bit about myself.
I am 26 years old.
I had a brain tumor at the age of six and I went to a place called Arkansas Easter Seals
in Little Rock and they helped me get back out in the community.
I graduated from there and I got my certificate, but it's not the same as the GED.
And I tried to go back and get my GED, but the main thing that's stopping me
from getting my GED is money because money is a big factor.
I used to have a job at CiCi's Pizza and I didn't even make that much money,
but I had to owe Medicaid money because every time I made money--
every time I made a dollar, I lost a dollar.
And it seems like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.
And my American Dream is to go to college, you know, I filled out an application online
for Westwood College and I tried to do it but--
[ Pause ]
>> The big factor of doing that is money too because you know in order
to have money you've got to make money and that's what I do not have.
But with the help of you America, I think that I can go and be anything that I can be
and go to college and roll down the aisle and accept my diploma.
And who knows, you might see me as president one day.
Don't ask what you could do for Steven, but what Steven can do for you.
