Happy News! - Evergreen Beauty School

So today I went into Evergreen Beauty School to see if I could get some financial aid and everything thing else related. The main reason why I would not be eligible is because my mother filed for bankruptcy a while ago and also did some deferring on some other finances which messed up her ability to be able to attend there and seek financial aid. Without the aid there is no way I would be able to attend so as you can see this was a very big deal for me. The reason why what she did might effect me is because even though I am eighteen, they still refer to my parent's tax information until I am twenty five. When we got there everyone was in a particularly good mood which helped to lighten my spirits. I am an optimist as stated in one of my earlier posts titled Optimism (I am so creative with names, I know), but regardless I still could not help but feel a sense of suspense as we waited in the nice financial aid manager's office.

My mother and I filled out all of the information and sat for what seemed to be the longest five minutes of my life in anticipation of what was to come. To my delight I turned out eligible but what made it even more fantastic is that the aid covered $16,101 of my $16,600 worth of tuition (in grants and in loans). This news has made me so giddy and happy that I have been smiling nonstop since and wiggling. Yes, wiggling. I wiggle when I am particularly excited or happy. I do not know why that is so but it is and I embrace it. :)

So I am going in Monday, October 4th for my interview which consists of me filling out a bunch of papers and officially enrolling me just in time for November quarter. My life is falling in place so wonderfully. This is such a nice break from all the mountains I have had to climb. It is about time my future became present. Yes friends I will be cutting and styling hair very soon, working my dream job and living with my boyfriend. What more could I ask? I am very proud of myself and so thankful for those who have been supportive and helped me along the way such as my mother, my boyfriend, my best friends, and my grandparents. Without this team behind me I do not think I ever would of stood a chance in life. But here I am on the threshold of my adulthood.

I am a very very happy princess.
