Teacher
I loan because:
I'm lucky enough to have everything I need and to be able to provide enough for my family without much worry. Not everyone is in that boat and I realize that my fortune is in large part a result of benefits I did nothing to earn, just was lucky enough have. I see it as the responsibility of anyone in my situation to do what you can to help out those people who are not quite as lucky.
About me:
I'm a Band and Strings teacher in Howard County Maryland. I have a wife and two boys (and a cat) and we all got turned on to MicroLending by our obsession with listening to the "Stuff You Should Know" podcast.
