MO' Money, MO' Money, MO' Money #2

Today, I got another piece of mail from Hartford explaining my financial aid information. They showed that they were giving me $12,300 a year on a merit scholarship. I'm also receiving $6,700 a year on a University grant, and they're offering  $5,500 on Stafford loans ($3,500 subsidized, $2,000 unsubsidized). I'm kinda ancy on taking the loans because I've been told basically all my life to avoid loans because it's not yours, it's credit. I don't want to start out in debt as soon as I get out of college. But I'm just gonna have ask God about my decisions concerning college.

Acceptance #4!

On Friday when I got home, my day handed me some mail from Middle Tennessee State University. I had gotten accepted. I am also eligible for honors classes. I didn't get any money this time but getting into the school was enough for me. I'm just waiting for American University now. It's making me anxious. If they don't offer me money, I'm gonna have to weigh the options.

The Healing Part

I've always loved this song. It's about forgiveness because the longer you hold grudges and don't apologize, things will just ge worse. This song is called "The Healing Part" by Cece Winans by one of the best albums ever "Everlasting Love"

It's hard to know what to say
We've said so much that we regret
What a price that we pay
When we can't forgive much less forget

The more I hear the more I fear
That we might lose each other

Can we skip to the part
Where we come to out senses?
Before we go too far
Love shouldn't be so hard

Can we open our hearts, drop our defenses?
Find where forgiveness starts
Let's stop where we are
And skip to the healing part

I can't recall what it was
That got this whole thing started
When anger grows like it does
And respect can get discarded

Everyday that we wait
Something good is dying

Can we skip to the part
Where we come to out senses?
Before we go too far
Love shouldn't be so hard

Can we open our hearts, drop our defenses
Find where forgiveness starts
Let's stop where we are
And skip to the healing part

Acceptance Number 3!

Well today I got accepted into the University of Hartford. They are giving me $12,300 a year which equals out to $49,200 altogether. My dadwas really excited for me. Then I told him about the fact that Middle Tennessee State University claims to not have receive my SAT scores. So we called the admissions office and they say that they did and I should be getting some mail by the end of the week. I'm a little excited about all the good news. Then my best friend called me and told me she got accepted into Barton College down in North Carolina. She was rather excited about that.

President's Day

On Monday, my best friend's momtook me and my best friend up to Albright College becaause she had a tour and interview with the school. It's rather small but I guess like colleges that are inimate. But anyway, we had a good time and I learned a lot about the school and took mental notes from the senior financial seminar.

MO' Money, MO' Money, MO' Money

Well I finally got my paperwork from New Haven. They're giving me $8,500 a year if I accept. But the thing is I can't seem to access what I got on my FAFSA. It's not letting me see any thing but whatever. New Haven is my second choice if I don't get into American. Hello Connecticut! I'm currently working on another scholarship for the Richie Spirit Foundation.

2-12-12

Well today is my boyfriend Tyrell's birthday. He just turned 18 too. We have a lot of February birthdays kind of back-to-back-to-back. Now that both he and Amber are 18, they're going to make fun of the fact that I'm still 17 and still a minor. It happens every year. I have to wait 5 months after them for my birthday to come around. But I'm proud of him. He's gone through a lot and  has accomplished a lot. I want him to be successful in his profession and that he can get into the school of his choice.
Also, we had church today. We had a really interesting discussion in youth church about relationships within the church and why all Christians should go to church. People don't know that it's not just a social event, it's a hospital for the broken. But there are imperfect people in there too that help each other grow. And plus when you pay your tithes and offering you just want them to go anywhere. It needs to go to a place that you know is using it for the right reasons.

After church, we went to a church member's house for her birthday party. She turned 13 today too. The food was great but then I was knocked out on the couch because the night before I didn't go to bed until like 4:45am. We were geeking watching "Trapped in the Closet", all 22 chapter of it.
