College Bound

Summer 2017

So, If you are carrying on from my last post I have applied for College for Spring 2017. Well, That didn't go the way I hoped. It didn't occur to me that Spring Semester started in January. With that being said I did however get my acceptance letter in the mail on the 15th of February and i'm going to switch my beginning semester to Summer 2017. That means my classes will start May 20th which in the long run is better because I can better prepare for it.

Luckily for me the campus of my soon to be college is only about a mile from where I work so it'll be extremely easy for me to get there after my work day. That is nice since I'm currently unable to drive. which the backstory to that is rather complex and off topic.

 So since I had received my acceptance letter I set up my account on the school website to access my school server email and set up an appointment with an Academic Counselor. The thing that bummed me out about making the appointment is that it's a 45 minute Web session. I would have preferred to meet face to face when discussing my academic future. I also had some other requirements after filling out my FAFSA for Student Financial Aid. I am eligible for the financial aid but I need to take my 2015 tax return information to them to see how much I will be able to receive. I also need to get my Tri-C student pass. That way I have full access to everything the school entails including the cafeteria.

I have Bi-Polar, ADHD, Anxiety, OCD, etc, and some mild learning disabilities that really sabotaged my success when I went during the 2008-2009 school year when I was younger. luckily, I reached out to my recruiter and he mentioned they have many resources for students with disabilities and a lot of support. I am also going to reach out to them to see what kind of help I can receive to make sure this time around is successful and prosperous.

I decided to go for Graphic Design I don't know yet if i'm eventually going to transfer to a four year college and get my Bachelor's or if i'm going to settle and maybe go back to school in the future for Web Design and Photography.I kind of hope I can be a "Jack of All Trades" of sorts. I am hoping and praying I will succeed I just have to stick to it and stay motivated.

I have made my back-to-back appointments for Career Counseling and for the Access with Disabilities Specialist. I only need one for Financial Aid now. I am so stoked and on top of my game with this!
