You may remember that difficult child decided to investigate attending the local technical college on the Hope grant. She met with a counselor and set up an appointment with the financial aid people for the following week.
Well, that was last week but she called and told us that she had forgotten that she had an appointment with her psychiatrist that day so she had called the college and rescheduled for this week.
She went yesterday and spoke with the financial aid counselor. They filled out the paperwork for the Hope grant but difficult child told the counselor that she really wanted to go back to get her degree to be a teacher. She was hoping that some of the courses she took at the techincal college would transfer. It turned out, though, that she had already taken all of the courses that would transfer so the counselor suggested taking out a FAFSA loan and returning to the local community college.
husband pointed out to difficult child that loans needed to be repaid but I am impressed that she has done all of this on her own without prompting. Could she possibly be serious this time?
Please keep your fingers crossed that this comes to something. With delivering pizza at night, she has her days free so she could go to classes and still live in her apartment.
I need some good news right now. I need an objective outside view. Please tell me that you see growth here. . .
