So now that I have decided on where I want to go...the next step is financial aid. As part of my decision to Trinity I was guaranteed at minimum a graduate assistantship that pays half of my tuition. In addition to that I was also in the running for a full-tuition scholarship from CHS with a commitment of two years employment after graduation. I found out today that I will not be one of the two finalists for it. I was supposed to hear back on Monday or Tuesday, but didn't hear back until this morning, which I realize now was a good thing. Yesterday I finally realized that yes it would be nice to receive the scholarship, but it's not the end of the world if I don't receive it. I realized, on a spiritual note, the Lord may have other plans for me and He knows what my family and I need and where we need to be. I am truly grateful for that perspective. It made hearing the news today a lot easier. I am excited for my two fellow classmates who get to go interview for the scholarship. What an awesome opportunity from them. I am definitely excited to get to know my classmates and hear their experiences and learn about their backgrounds.
Countdown to San Antonio: 27 days
