I had been okay with the fact that I am staying at my current college next year(College A). Until I got an email from an admissions assistant at College B. The email addressed me by name, mentioned a couple things we had talked about when I visited and stated that she hoped I would be able to attend next year. It is so hard reading that email and knowing that here at College A, my academic advisor never knows my name, even though I've emailed her and met with her personally at least 4 times this semester. College A has never treated me like a person. I'm a number. I know almost no one on campus. It's like I'm the invisble student. A couple professors know my name but that's it.
So WHY can't I transfer to College B?
Money.
It's the root of all evil and of the most recent injustice in my life. I need at least $28,000 by September in order to attend. My family qualifies for welfare. Where the heck are we going to find that much money?! (Note: we qualify for welfare, we are no using it/accpeting it/whatever. And we never have, which I think, speaks volumes about my father. He's a super guy)
So I am praying, praying, praying, that God will work through me here at College A. Teach me to be okay and usable wherever He's placed me, and that I will quit trying to make my own plans rather than following His.
It would be nice if He made those plans a little clearer.
**"Only What You Make Of It" is going to be my theme song and my reminder for the upcoming fall. Great song, and oh so pertinent*
