are any of you...

single parents on state assistance and going to school on Pell Grant? I feel like the crappiest person ever for being in state aid! It seems like ever where i turn ppl are "judging" me. I know it doesnt' matter what other ppl think, but my husband of 9 yrs lft me when my youngest was 3 weeks old (he is now 3.5 months) i had no income, no "training" so to speak of (i've had the on the job training but not certifications) to go to work to support me and my kids while i'm in school. I am starting my pre-req's for an ADN program (hopefully i will get accepted to the program for fall 2011). Just wondering if anyone else feels like a crappy person for being on state aid...

    egibson, You have NOTHING to be ashamed of! My husband is in the Navy, and people would be surprised how much financial aid we qualify for! You aren't one of those people who get food stamps and some how find the money to get your hair and nails done, buy beer, cigerettes and still somehow afford to buy a 2010 sports car- those people make me sick! YOU are doing what you need to do as a single parent to care for your babies, THAT is something to be proud of!

    Listen to your parents! You are going to have enough stress with NS and the kids, trying to work too is just putting too much on your plate! Look at it this way, if one of your kids were in the same position, would you want them to let you help, or insist on doing everything alone? If you need to do something to keep from feeling like a "bum", then come up with some type of agreement to repay them for their assistance when you graduate and get a job.

    Be PROUD of yourself for taking care of your kids and making a life for your family!:redpinkhe
