Like that Monster.com add, today was the day. I applied for FAFSA and Essex County College. Not difficult, but until today, not ready either. Something went wrong with my application fee payment so I'll check on that in the morning, but if all goes well I'll be in classes in July. What a long journey. I haven't been in school since...errr um...2003. So I'm humbled and excited because I will be on track to complete my higher education and becoming, an educator. As much as people have tried to encourage me, my brother Brad is one of the few people that knows just how to talk to me, so that I get things done. He's getting married next month, June 13th to be exact, in Hilo, Hawaii. It's going to be a miracle paying for this trip and staying on top of my car note, bills, etc., but I promised and I wouldn't miss this for anything. If he ends up getting remarried later on in life, I will NOT be in attendance, he knows this!
As far as being unemployed since March, it's a blessing. I can remain on Unemployment, go to school full-time, and get my Associates ASAP. I'm going to be majoring in Education, then English when I transfer to a 4-year, probably Rutgers (most of my family including my dad went to RU so why not!). I'm highly optimistic. And finally motivated. Today is the day :)
