Going back to College...

Hello!!! I do apology that I haven't write anything in my blog since long time ago, but its just that I been so busy with my new lifestyle.

After filling out an application last year to become a dental hygienist at Community College, I decided to make up my mind and chose the major to another one that I always wanted, so I changed for Animation Design.  

So I started my Spring 2010 semester on January 11, 2010, wow, it was an unexpected journey...First of all, I had to go to applytexas.com and applied for the college of my choice and major, then applied for FAFSA and aproximately three weeks later I got accepted and received a pell grant to pay for my classes and education.  I decided to go back to college after 20 years (1992) that I got graduated from High School, but since I was wondering if I wanted to make an effort and pursue for a college degree or stay at the same job wondering if I could ever make any difference in my life.  So I decided to do the first thing, jump in the water and take a full load (12 credits) of remedial classes.

It was very difficult to start without any advising session about how to write an essay, read syllabus and how to purchase books online, but I had to learn all this from scratch and now I feel very happy when people come and asks me for advise about FAFSA, buying books or how to read a syllabus.

So I started taking math 300, engl 302, reading 303 and photoshop (digital imaging I).  I was very happy and I was working hard to make good grades and be able to keep going without distractions from work :).  I will not lie you, it is hard work, but when I think that probably this extra effort will help me to improve my life, education, show my children that I have ambition, set life goals, and becoming organize, makes me feel that I'm on the right track.

Well, so kudos to me :) and I prepared this awesome chesse burger! Good night and enjoy!
