This week has been soooooooooo trying!! A few weeks ago I had received some exciting news, that I had received some extra money to be used toward my education. I was beyond stoked, because I’ve been dreaming of attending culinary school and was told I could use the funding towards their program. I went to the school, meet with the admissions department and was just counting down the days until class started. I wanted to scream on the rooftops about my excitement, but something told me to wait until I finished up my final paperwork. Well as luck would have it, I got an email from my tuition planner that told me that the program in which my money was coming from was not enough to cover my full tuition, well when I scrolled down and saw the amount that was left over, I could literally hear my heart fall out of my chest and shatter in a million tiny pieces.
I can’t explain my disappointment, to be so close to something you could almost touch it and then have it ripped from your reach in a matter of minutes is horrible. To make matters worse, my current job situation makes me sick to my stomach. I am blessed to have a place I can go to everyday and get paid enough to support myself and I appreciate that, but It’s a hard situation and a person can only stay sane for so long.
I usually an upbeat person about life, but right now I feel like I am in a whirl of conflict. I know what I want to do with my life, I've tried to take the proper steps to reach my goals and dreams, but right now I don't feel like I am getting close to the success I've been striving for. Sorry to be such a whinner today, but this is my outlet.
I am bummed, but I am trying to stay positive and find another source to cover the difference. So, we will see!
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!! Everything happens for a reason. You need to realize that :) Smile and bake yourself some brownies hehe
ReplyDeleteI send the motion! Chin up, doll, something good'll come down the pipeline to make you smile :) Don't forget the vacancies in SoCal ;)
ReplyDeletei'm not sure that everything happens 4 a reason. i think sometimes shit just happens and it sucks. that really blows and i am sorry that happened. it's like it wouldn't have been that bad if u never thought u were going. but, to have it and then have it taken away is the worst. i know that feeling. go watch RH of OC and you'll feel better about yourself instantaneously.
ReplyDeleteI say, stay positive! Trust that the Universe will bring you whatever you need at the perfect time. When you don't get what you want, it would only mean God has a better plan for you. Cheer up, girl! I'm sending a little prayer to you.. hope you'll get an answer soon. :)

Man...I can only imagine how you feel.
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry...a better opportunity will surely present itself!
I know exactly how you feel...I was in a similar situation last year when I tried to go back to college. Just days before I was supposed to start my financial situation changed and made it impossible for me to go to school...I was devasted.
ReplyDeleteA couple months later I tried again and everything seemed ok until I realized how much money I needed to pay out of pocket since my financial aid didn.t cover everything. I showed up to school on the first day not knowing how I was going to pay it...but somehow month after month, my tuition was paid...until I finally graduated.
Don't give up on your dream, its all a test to see how bad you want it. It will happen for you but it will happen when its SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. You will make it to culinary school - just picture yourself at graduation...God will take care of everything else in between
