Hello all! Just thought I'd start a thread for all of those folks that have submitted, or are getting ready to submit, their applications for FCCJ's Fall '08 term.
I will be submitting my application in a few weeks, when this Spring term ends. I have taken my NAT (twice), so I'm good to go there, but still need to get my CPR class done. I called several places & I'm waiting to hear back from them.
I look forward to chatting with & getting to know all of you, who will be doing the count-down with me... on getting our acceptance letters!!!
I know it helps to sound-board off each other & to lean on each other for support... especially with getting all the things done that we have to do!
Melanie, I want to remind you that everything happens for a reason, I know you have been praying but sometimes what we want isnt whats right for us even if we dont see it that way at the time, Just know that there is a reason, maybe this could be a good thing, because you know what to expect next semester, you know you will get in, so now all you have to do is take the next four months to straighten everything else out for the spring, maybe with all the other pressure you wouldnt have been able to give it your all to your full potential, I know this sounds crazy but try to think of it as a blessing of time to deal with some stuff....you already know your smart enough to get in, and now you have 4 whole months to learn your dosage calculations and medical terminology! just promise me you wont give up! and keep on praying because he knows the plans he has for you, not to harm you but to give you a future, his timing is not our timing! ill be praying for you chica!
i am sorry to hear about this melanie! i agree with everyone on this. i really hope things work out for you. it was a pleasure meeting you. if i were you i would mos def talk to the director. hey bossladii if you really really want this now i have some suggestions. they do have payments plans for tution. and since we are in the same section i could share my books with you in class and whatever homework we have we could copy those pages. i don't know how everyone feels about this but hear me out..... what if we all pick one book (the most important ones) and copied some chapters and give it to bossladii? just until she gets everything from worksource next term. what do you guys think?
melanie, i really want you to do this after hearing your story about how u have got this far. and anything i can do to help i will. i know it is hard for me but even i know your situation is even harder and i want to help. let me know you can pm me too.
also from what i was told it was not too late for appeals for fin aid. because you still have some classes that start later than ours. so do the appeal anyway.
i guess i'm just gonna spend all day at north campus until i get something worked out. i don't really know what else to do other than that.
okay, then keep us posted!!! like i said for now just worry about tution because we have the same classes so you can use my books!! i have done this before, coping chapters for homework for people so that's no problem with me. :heartbeat
You are really sweet. I know this is a stressful time for everybody. I would hate to be a burden on anyone. Especially with all the whining and crying I've been doing all over the boards...
I just feel really down right now, because I would have had the time to correct all of this if Financial aid would have processed my file in May when I first submitted everything.

i can't speak for others but seriously i don't mind. but i only can offer so its up to you. i really hope everything works out tomorrow. be sure to tell the director exactly what you just wrote about turning in your papers in may. give her all the facts. good luck! i will certainly pray for you.:plsebeg::heartbeat
We will all be in the same classes, we will be studying with each other, so there's all kinds of ways we can work out the books.
If Sharon is there at the North Campus when you go up there, try to talk to her. I had a friend once tell me that she is the best person when it comes to financial aid. Plus, she's also an advisor.
Every problem has a solution, we can all get creative. We could always try to raise money with a car wash!
Really sorry to hear about whats going on Melanie!!! hope something turns around in your favor....
Have any of yall been in a hospital and seen a nurse that seems like she really has no idea what shes doing and she also seems like one of those people that would have a really hard time getting through really hard classes ( i know this sounds horrible) but this has happened to me a lot of times and I always think to myself, that I know this isn't going to be easy but if she can do it then I sure as hell can! I think if we all try to put our nerves aside and be excited about what we are about to take on and just throw ourselves into it then we will do great. We just need to be confident in our ability to accomplish our goals.
"Be optimistic, don't you be a grumpy, when the road gets bumpy, just smile, SMILE, come on and be happy!":D
Okay..so I had to come on here one last time before I left because I think I'm addicted and of course I love you guys!!
Mel, I am sooo sorry. Girl we will work something out with books. I have friends that said they could loan me books and etc. As long as they haven't changed we should be in business. Also remember if this is God's will it will happen, if not then maybe its not the right time. No matter what, I have no doubt's in my mind that you will get far in life. You deserve the best. I love you girl and will thinking about you tomorrow.
I thought that maybe it wouldn't be too late to apply for some scholarships as well. I know there's a site through the school that you can put your name in and write a small essay and it searches the databases. They talked about it at the financial aide workshop. There's so many scholarships that aren't applied for. It might help.
Sheesh... I dont get on for a day and I miss four pages. Gosh.
First and foremost, Melanie... Please do not give up. You have gone much too far to give up now. I am sure that if you go up to North and Worksource and tell them your story that they will have some sort of heart to try and work something out. You have shelled out so much money for your stuff, all the shots, titers, physicals, blah blah.
If the worksource does not work out, then I would be more than happy to help you with the copying of the pages of the book. They say do not go to the North Campus library to print stuff, so why not Kent, South, or Downtown? I'm sure they dont mind. LoL.
Bottomline, you're facing a problem that everyone will probably face in some point in their lives. It may not be to the same extent, but it sure would be in terms of the magnitude of the problem. Persevere, my friend, and you won't believe the outcome.
