I am all signed up! My chair is reserved and my kit is on order!
I am going to start Cosmetology on July 16th I am so excited I can barely contain it! The possibilities are endless! I can have my own salon in 2 years!! 2 YEARS! Not bad! I was able to get funding for all but 2000. of it. I was hoping to get it all so that it wouldn't be a bill every month added on to what we already have. So, I have to get a job too. I was so hoping to devote all of my time to school and studying but, I want this so badly that I will manage. UGH... to be so close, I just can't not go! There has been way too much sadness in my little life, I NEED this more than ever! I was so heart broken when i was told that I will have to pay $165 a month starting on the first day of school. It'll be okay, somehow, it will be, it has to be. I am looking for some scholarships to see if there is anything out there to help with this.
This is not one of the careers that will allow me to get paid unemployment and as for state aide, I hear that you still have to be available to work and since I will be in school, they don't consider that as available! It'll probably be easier finding a job part time nights, because it isn't a career job that I will be looking for. I will hit all the places close to my campus and I'm sure it'll end up being (gulp) retail. It'll only be for a year, I can do it!
Right now, though, it is official and I am so very excited! Brandon, the college director told me he was also hoping for me to get more of a pell grant, but, I made too much last year. I made too much? Wow! I made 21,000! That sure is a lot! The good thing is, I can apply again for next term so, if they go by this year, I should get a little more so maybe all of next term will be covered. I am not going to worry about that now.
Because of the hours required in NH, if I want to get my license in any other state, I will just have to go to the state boards and get my license!
Wish me luck and say a prayer! I will soon be on my way to a new career!

Hi Betsy, Congrats!!! That is so awesome, I always wanted to go to beauty school but married young and never thought I could do it after, especially with 4 kids. However, I did learn manicuring, had a successful nail business and school for 20 years and put me in the realm of the beauty industry. So you go girl, I wish you all the success you deserve to accomplish your dream!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you too for the soap recipe, I appreciate it and will get the ingredients to make a batch. I hope you have a great weekend, Karren
Oh! My Heartsie
Thank you so much Karren! That is so wonderful about you becoming a manicurist and having your own school!!I bet that was really fun! It is strange sometimes where our lives lead us! I surely never ever expected going back to school and to one of the dreams I had when I was way back in the 2nd grade!
Deleteyou are welcome for the soap recipe! I love it and it won't hurt the environment or your pocketbook!!
Try Barnes and Noble! Dan is finally going to be working only daytime and I'm going to try and get a part time job at B&N for a few nights a week and maybe one day a week if I can talk Lois into babysitting. We can work together!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome!! I will put in an application too!
