The Journal of Alison McKenzie Well, one good thing about it...
11/04/2008 07:48 p.m.
One good thing about not being able to be so busy around the house is that I got my FAFSA filled out, and it looks like I'm going to start taking classes Winter Term!!! I'm REALLY excited, because I've been putting off the whole school thing until I knew how much care Meme was actually going to require, and I wanted to be 100% available if she needed it. Well, as it turns out, I think I'll actually be available enough to be a full time student AND take care of Meme, especially since it seems like a lot of the classes are just online these days. Miah is going to school, too, taking the Wind Energy Tech courses, and he actually only has to physically attend one class at this point. It seems totally do-able!
Plus, with still having two kids at home, and not having an actual income since I'm taking care of Meme and not working, my situation is ideal for maximum financial aide at this point.
So, there is a silver lining to this whole painful adventure after all! LOL!!
Oh ya, AND.....my daughter in law is in town with my grandson, and so Meme will be able to meet Atreyu today!!! AND I'll get pictures!!! She's a great-GREAT grandma!!!

If you have physical or emotional issues that can be documented, things that pell grant won't pay it will. My daughter because of her visual accuity and learning disabilities, qualified for the maximum amount at the time. It is not well known. If you have any documented learning issues or medical issues, the federal government has this program available to help train people for productive jobs. check your local agency and see if you could qualify. All you have to do is provide a copy of the funding approved on your fafsa, and they can tell you if you qualify for more. |
