I applied to the local community college. I got my letter of acceptance, which I am instructed to take with me when I meet with my advisor. I plan to go to the financial aid office and get as much information as possible. I meet with the advisor at 2.
According to the letter I received from the unemployment office, special consideration is being given to the unemployed in the form of grants, scholarships and low-interest student loans. Regardless of whether I am eligible for any of these, if I am enrolled in a full-time accredited education program, I am able to continue to receive unemployment benefits until my 26 weeks run out. I am not obligated, however, to seek employment while attending school full-time.
My first goal is to earn my Associate's Degree within a year. I have some credits already from classes I took years ago. With my advisor's help, I hope to piece everything together in order to accomplish this in the time period I have allotted to this task. Do I know what I am getting myself into? Probably not. However, it is necessary in order to make myself marketable. I AM EXCITED!
