Thanks! I don't know why I never thought to google something like that myself.

Thank you all so much, I feel better about things (even if a bit more overwhelmed..) I thought I would use this post to reply to some questions I saw and show my gratitude. Ahem, I'm actually 21 (I know it's shamefull.), and I've actually been looking for a job for 2 years now. I've applied online and physically every week or every other week to 7-10 different places each, even in different cities. During that time I felt as though I was wasting my life, so I thought I might-as-well better educate myself. I'm hoping I will then be qualified to make more than minimum wage (even if just by a bit.). I've spent alot of time thinking about what I'd like to do with my life. I'm a creative thinker and love the arts, however; I lack any outstanding talent in any area. I've developed some through tons of effort but, schooling for that is expensive and my true heart isn't in that. I've always been told I have "a heart of gold", I'm a people-person, and that my personality is perfect for nursing. Then one week of watching CNAs and nurses doing what they do, while my great gradmother was recovering from a broken hip. I realized thats what I want to do...There was a point in that last part, but I forgot..oops. Uh anyway, oh wait I remembered. Ahem, so I looked at the CNA program offered by our community college, It's only $550.00 and I'm pretty sure it's only 4 weeks. I could be wrong. I am overweight but, I can physically do the work I see the point there. I was really worried about that for some reason. All the nurses/CNAs I saw were tiny 0-0. Uh, what else... the bus thing we live in a not-so-good-for-an-attractive-if-overweight-young-lady-to-be-walking-any-where-even-during-the-day-especially-by-herself-gritty-city. My moms words not mine. Though I agree with that, she may have to get over it we shall see. She can't eat her cake and have it too. I don't have my GED, but again all I need is math, and the internet has helped me with that. Prayer does help, true. I need to pray more and stop over-thinking things. So now I'm thinking I need my GED, my drivers license (maybe sister'll let me use her car.), Talk to school advisor and find aid/grants/scolarships...then apply for them and make them gimme money. MWHAHAhaha. *coughs* or you know.. ask for it. It is only $550 for now but I will be going back. ~ Liza

Hello, all you fine people. My name is, Liza. I'm hoping to go to school for my CNA training sometime in the near future. Then possibly on to full nursing school. However; I'm here because I feel like I need some guidance, ideas, and support if at all possibly. I shall explain, ahem. No one in my family has continued school beyond high school, save for my gradmother who was previously a CNA before her retirement 8 or 9 years ago. I would have gotten help from her except; she has since moved out of state and seems to want nothing to do with me or my immediate family, no return calls or mail, nothing. My mother doesn't seem to want to help, rather; I don't think she knows exactly 'how' to help me. So I pretty much have to dig and build my life without knowing how. As I'm sure many others have/do aswell. Again I would still appreciate some guidance and wisedom related to these forthcoming issues, and by 'forthcoming' I really mean now . Now, no wait... ok now. Ahem, I shall explain further. You see, I was home schooled and by 'home schooled' I mean pulled from school for family related issues and left to study for my GED which I still do not have simply because math is hardish for me, I'm a creative thinker logic hates that moist enviorment. However; I am slowly grasping it, so no worries.. I hope. I'm also currently unemployed (believe me when I say I HAVE looked, I do not wish to be unemployed.) and have not obtained my much needed drivers license for many little reason I can deal with. However; since I am unemployed my mother and siblings are really pressuring me to get a job so I may pay rent. So we can save to buy a house, which is reasonable. My mother doesn't want me taking the bus so that greatly limits my searching ratious. I want to go to school so I don't get stuck working at walmart or a hotel like my mother and older brother did. The school doesn't take long and I think I could pay for it on my own..pull a loan or something, right? Ugh I'm blathering and am probably incoherent by now. I just feel stuck and stressed. How do I express these issues to my family so they might accept my wishes and have some patience with me? How do I acquire financial aid by myself? Is that possibly while unemployed? I'm a bit overweight, how much might people discriminate against me in school and in the nursing field? Is it possible for them to decline my educational proceeding because I'm over weight? Well, I think thats enough now. Thanks and blessings to everyone/anyone who actually read this. I really would appreciate any answers to the aforementioned questions, aswell as any guidance or what-have-you. - I stand for love, truth, and justice too.~ Liza
