A Pawtucket school teacher got a big thrill Thursday.
Kelly Beckford was at The White House talking about what it would mean to her if her Student Loans went away.
At about the time she was speaking, President Joe Biden walked into the room, met the teacher, and told her that he was forgiving all 46 thousand dollars in her student loans.
"Done. Done. Done. Done," The President said.
"Because my Administration fixed the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, Kelly – and over 1 million Americans – have the breathing room they deserve," The President later posted on social media.
As for what it means to the Pawtucket teacher, Kelly says she got married some 12 years ago and the student debt prevented her from having a honeymoon.
She believes that will happen now.
Since the inception of the program some seven thousand teachers have had their loans forgiven.
