Good News Day!

I have been a little panicky lately as I get closer to starting the nursing program in the fall -- not because the program starts soon, but because the program is costing me a fortune!! Let's see some of the bills I have already paid --

Uniforms (for 2) $175.00

Physical $352.00

Lab Work/Shots $775.00

Sneakers $48.98

Blood Pressure Cuff $50.00

Shade Shirts $48.00

I haven't even received my tuition bill yet and we have been told that books will exceed $800!! YIKES!!!

Well in the mail today I received a letter from NECC stating that I am the recipient of the NECC Leadership Development Scholarship for $500 and the NECC Leaders of Today and Tomorrow for $250. So I was very excited about that! But wait, it gets better.....

A few minutes later I logged into my e-mail and I had an e-mail from the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation that informed me that I have been awarded their Volunteerism Scholarship for $1000!!!! YEAH!!! These scholarships will cover almost all of my tuition and hopefully the grants I applied for will cover my books!! What an incredible blessing!! It has been a good day!
