Fear has become a lingering reminder of what will happen to every senior as the months dwindle. While we all knew eventually we would leave here, and even at times looked forward to it, the reality has become stable and solid before our eyes; no longer ethereal and fluid. As of May, we will all be homeless instantly. We will all be jobless in seconds. We will all be on our own directly. It is no longer a hypothetical 'future' that drives us forward. It is a reality. We are being sent out, armed with a car packed full of possessions, with no assurance of where we will live or that we will even be able to earn the fuel to keep us going. We are on our own with only the basic knowledge of how the world works and the worn maps of our parents. We are afraid, but the key is already in the ignition and our trembling hands are on the wheel.

Ten Cent Heroes are college students connected by common purpose, location, and time. Our purpose is to look at our environment, how we move from place to place, and our actions within the framework of alcohol use or nonuse. Our location is Iowa and the time is now 2010.
Ten cents may not buy much anymore, but the choice is there to take what we have, and what we know, and save the day. The challenge is not just to survive, but thrive!
