Student financial aid documents showing Naomi's journey toward paying off her student loan debt.
"Oh, I worked my butt off. But you can't get very far without an education. That's why, when I hit my 30s, I was always petrified of winding up on the street. I was living just a paycheck away from the street every stupid week. No medical insurance. No savings account. No credit card. I barely had enough gas in my car to get me to work and back that day. I never had any child support. My mother and I weren't speaking to each other. My father was dying of kidney failure. 'I have nobody in the world, but by God,' I vowed, 'I'm going to put myself through college.'" - Naomi Judd
