$600 Blessing
Thursday, March 19, 2009
I owed over $600 for a bill and I called the guy to see if I could set up a payment plan or something cause I knew I was buying a new car. When I talked to the supervisor, he let me know that he was waiving the bill, that I didnt have to pay it. I thank him and thank him and asked if I would be able to get that in writing. He stated that he would send me a letter. I'm waiting on my letter.
Thank God for the blessing. That's $600 that I can keep.
In other news, I started a new online class at UIC. I love it, but it's so much reading. I'm still working on my online class at EIU, but that's not going so well. I'm not interested in it anymore, but I'm going to complete it. I can't waste my money. I'm going to be signing up for another class in April. I'm excited.
We have about 40 school days left. I can't wait. I'm supposed to work over the summer, but if I'm not gonna get paid then I'm not going to work. I love my contract.
I have a student who is preggo. Her mom kicked her out and won't fill out fafsa forms for her to go to school. I pray for her mind, that she allow God to lead and guide her. I just think about my mom when I think of her situation. My mom got preggo when she was a junior and her mom wouldn't fill out the forms for her to go to school, so my mom struggled and struggled. I told my student that in December she can fill out the forms herself because she would be an independent student then. I hope that somehow since she is preggo she can fill the forms out herself cause she needs to go to school. She has no job and no employability skills so life is gonna be really hard for her. I wonder if she can become emancipated so that she can go to school. I was disappointed with her when she told me, actually she didn't have the heart to tell me because she knew that I would be disappointed. I cried, she cried. We had girl talk and I asked almost all the girls that were there if they were protecting themselves. Of course I didn't just mean from pregnancy. My student is so fragile, she reminds me of myself when I was her age--not very confident, a little naive and aloof--No one really to help her. I just want to help her, but there is only so much I can do. She said the guy is not owning up to his responsibility. She said that he was claiming to be infertile.
There are so many girls at my school pregnant. It is like an epidemic. We need to do something.
