THE SILVER LINING...
I finally feel like something is working in my favour. This has to mean something significant.
Yesterday, I was informally notified of my acceptance into the PR post-grad certificate program at Humber College Lakeshore Campus. After my assessment and interview, I was pretty mopey because I felt that I had messed up pretty bad... but it turns out that they were not as hard on me for my little mistake as I thought they would be, and I guess they really appreciated my writing skills and honesty during my interview. =) =) =)
I am so happy! I feel like for once, I am doing something right. After years and years of feeling insignificant and misdirected, to be accepted into a program (my first choice!)--the most recognized and well-respected in the field--only taking 70 people, out of 400-500 applicants (who all already hold a university degree or college diploma), brings such a rewarding feeling!
All of this happened less than 24 hours ago, and it still feels kind of surreal. Shortly after I had received that wonderful e-mail, I confirmed and accepted the offer of admission (so long Centennial... I will not be attending their assessment/interview this Thursday anymore), and I applied for and was approved(!) for a tuition bursary of $750! =) I have never received a monetary aid before--not in any of all the years I was at Ryerson. Unfortunately, I cannot receive an entrance scholarship because that is only offered to students entering in the fall, but I'm still smiling. Things have never went so nicely for me, ever.
Things are lookin` up.
