I have a request out of everyone today, and it concerns me getting into school. If you want to know the whole story, it's a bit long bc it's detailed so I put it under the cut. :)
I never really knew what I wanted to do in life, but I finally figured out I wanted to be a hairdresser. So I checked out this school that I wanted to go, went and signed up for it, etc a few months before I graduated high school. (I graduated in May) It was going to be around $20,000, but I wa gong to take out a loan.
No one really supported be on it, and I was going to have to learn how to drive, bc the school was like, in Katy about an hour away from where I live. I got a lot of shit, especially from my Aunt Sue, who had come into town to visit my grandmother (who I live with), and had heard about my plans. That lady ripped me a new asshole. I got so upset, and was very confused. Since beauty school was out due to lack of support (more "financial" than anything) I decided to try to go to college. I've always loved to learn.
However, my grades weren't up to par. Part of the reason I stayed with my grandmother was bc I wanted to go to the community college over here for a semester to get my grades up. I graduated high school, but I have a 2.7 ;-.-
I went through a lot of shit during that point in my life that I basically only did enough to pass.
So I took a summer class, and I got an A, and I'm pretty confident that I will end this semester with AT LEAST a high B grade point average. I'm taking three classes now, and I will be done around December 8.
The problem is, is that I'm trying to go to the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) for spring semester (it starts January 11th), but my application,my grades, etc are due on December 1st. However, I wrap up my classes on December 8th. Its just a huge mess. I never too the SAT or ACT so now UNO is going to see my high school transcript, but they won't get a chance to see the great grades/ improvement I made in my first semester of college :( And I've done really well, I think. My Astronomy professor, luckily, is amazing, and he's going to write me a recommendation letter that basically states all these nice nice things about me, my current grade in his class, and that I'm going to cure cancer one day. I'm hoping that that, my shot records, and a copy of my school schedule will be enough to convince UNO that I'm serious about attending their school. Once again, I would be in automatically if my grades were just already in for this semester- unfortunately they won't be until a week after I submit the application =/ This is just such a frustrating period in my life. Even worse, if I do get in, I have to worry about getting a loan from FAFSA. It's just one thing after another. My hair is literally breaking off from this (Well, part of the reason was bc it was bleached, but I swear; it's from the stress too.) and it's all I can think about.
This is SO important to me. So please, I'm desperate; pray for me, wish for me, pray to Buddah, pray to Satan, light some candles or summon the gods! I need this so.fucking.bad. I'm not even kidding. I NEED to get out of here. I'm just at an age where I shouldn't be here anymore. I think I'll get what I need if I moved out of Texas, and get away from my bitchy family. I could be more independent, and it's just something I need to do for myself.
Please wish me luck & thank you so much.
