Fifth term came faster than I imagined. With an extra block tagged onto my 4th term due to a black sock issue I ended up owing almost $5000 to start my fifth and final semester at school. I had exhausted all possible avenues for funding. Bank loans, grants, scholarships were tapped and only the long shot remained.
I had nothing to lose so I called my mom and told her not to send packages here for the holidays because my bill was way more than I had and I knew she did not have it either. I had placed an phone call to my externship site to see if they would be willing to help. I wouldn't hurt to ask right? But fearing for the worst I had filled out my leave of absence form and had obtained all the signatures needed for the temporary withdrawal. I was in sad spirits that day all though I tried to keep a smile.
I was amazed at the results of those two conversations that day. A miracle. A blessing from above. I was able to pay off the complete and final payment to the school in preparation for graduation. I was able to get my final schedule and start the dreaded wines class. Well dreaded my most. I could not believe the perfect timing. However intensive the studying and memorization for the class. I get to taste 8-10 excellent wines daily for the three block leading up to our Christmas break.
I plan on making sure that those who invested in me get their full return!
