Hello my name is Ana and I live in Texas JI just got accepted into a nursing school which can be really difficult to get in. I just found out they do not accept any form of federal financial aid, and every bank tells me that my school will not accept any loans either. In total my tuition will be about 9000 and I can not possibly come up with that kind of money so soon. I tried so hard to get into this school; I wrote an essay, got 2 letters of recommendation, took and passed a really difficult entrance exam ….ext. I really don’t want to drop out at the last minute because this school only accepts students once a year. Thank you so much for reading my story. Ana
