2017- Update.
I started this campaign a few years ago. Here's and update. I have been working full time since the beginning of 2015. And put finishing school on hold because of the finances. I am 4 classes away from my Bachelor's degree. Its so close but feels so far! Tuition for 2 classes per semester would be $2,000 per semester. I have used all possible grants and student loans so its up to me to pay for the remaining classes. And even though I am working full time its isnt enough to accomplish this goal. Thats the reason I need my degree, so I can move forward with my career path and provide a better living situation for my children. So I am posting this update in hopes that my friends and family will come together and help make a difference in our life. I know that I can make the grades, I know I can work hard and make a better future for my family. Its the money thats holding me back. Isn't that ironic, the $ is holding me back from making better $.
2015- I am in my last year at CSUF, I transferred from Rio Hondo and it will be my sixth year in total! I have worked and taken classes around my work schedule for much of that time. However, I now am unemployed and searching for a job that will work with my school schedule. My Cal grant which normally covers my tuition has run out, and my Pell grant is limited as well. I have taken out student loans to help cover some living expenses. However, this year that will be limited and I will need help to cover tuition and living expenses.
A little bit more about me. I am a single mother of 4 children, 3 who are under 18 and still at home with me. I come from a background in the mortgage industry as a mortgage loan processor. The reason I went back to school to get a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting was to ensure that I could stand out from the rest of the job applicants that are fighting for the few good jobs that exist. During the downturn in the economy in 2008 I tried deligently to find a job in the same field, as a mortgage loan processor. That did not work out as most companies were either downsizing or closing down completely.
So here I am today, having downsized my entire life to be a struggling full time student, looking forward to the future. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated and remembered forever. Be blessed :)
