   I don't mind living with my mom. It's just that the nursing program will be 2 hours away from me.

   My dad could only finish 2 years of college as he had a full ride scholarship for football but after his accident they took it away from him. He wants me to go to college and he offered to co-sign on my loans.

   You need to get a different job. You need to work 20 hours per week if going to school full-time. 20000= 5,500 Loans. 5,000 work study. And 9,500 grants

   The 11k is the total of loans I will have to take out by the spring of 2017. And honestly I would've to take oUT the same for CC because I got awarded by both schools of 5550 of loans and minimum grants.

   It would've been my plan A if I hadn't just found out about it when my older sister joined. But I don't want to drop out of school this new school year. My plan is to just take all of my prerequisites and go from them on what path I choose to take.

   My mother refuses to take money from me. She is really against making her kids pay rent. I can get my own car fixed but she likes to take things own her shoulders more than she should. And I'm very grateful for that which is I decided I'm not goin...

   I wanted to rent out a room from some one's home for $200 a month but my mother is a very skeptical person and doesn't want me living under a roof with "strange people" who can be anybody she said.

   Keracee replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   And it is really sad to think that one day I really won't be able to pay the loan back. You actually have really opened y eyes truly. Right now I have a 4.0 from 25 credits overall and I'm on the deans list. Hopefully I can keep my academics up to ap...

    Keracee replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Actually you have a great point. When I was 16 I was broke and at the time I don't even think my mom knew what a CNA was (and I didn't either) so she didn't want to waste her money for it. And I never went to Job Corps because I went straight to coll...

    CNA programs are three months?? I don't know why I thought they were just 5-8 weeks.

    Thank you :) I wanted a personal loan of 12k. But hopefully it won't have to amount to that... And I know you are right about waiting and I wish I had the will power to do so. But I know one day that reality check will come crashing down and I will h...

    Here is my plan of saving 6,000. I save $500 from my refund this semester. And I was awarded Work Study already but my college. Actually I already received my aid in the amount of 20,000. So I'm going to put the 2,500 up each semester from work study...

    I don't think I answered all of your questions properly. My mother is a truck driver and she's self employed so if she doesn't work enough hours then she don't bring home a lot of money. I hardly see my mom and it's been like that for 3 1/2 years now...

    I tried being a CNA since I was 16. But it will be another thing I would have to pay for. It cost about a 1,000. I could forgo using my school refund on my apartment and pay for the CNA class or I could do it for free at Job Corps. Which I don't thi...
