My name is Patrice Jones. I'm a nineteen year old student in Texas. I've made some mistakes in my life, when I ws in the tenth grade I quit school putting me a year behind.Since then, I've returned to school and will be graduating in May of this year. After hurricane Katrina I realized tha life is too short and I need to get my stuff together. When I'm done with high school my plans are to work to provide for myself but in order to do that I need transportation to and from work. I'm trying to establish myself in life. In January of 2008 I will begin classes at Delgado Community college. I need to find me an apartment and get a car to get me to and from work. Right now I have no one in my corner. I need help!
I need money to pay for my tuition this semester. I did not do good summer semester so I don't think I'll be able to get financial aid fall semester. I really need the funds . I have five kids that I have to see about. I really can't afford to pay my childcare fee. I get assistant for them to go to daycare. I also have to pay someone to keep them on the weekend. I have two kids that go to daycare M-F from 7:30-5:00. My four go after school. I just got it where I can work twelve hours on saturday and sunday so that I can have time to be able to get study-time in while my kids are in daycare. I also need a little extra fund so that I can pay down on a reliable car. The car that I drive belongs to my bestfriend/cousin. It's a 1978 chevy impala and drink gas. It take my pitiful paycheck. It was broke down and I missed to many days out of class summer. My main concern is funds to pay for fall semester 2005.
People often suggest that I "Go Back to School" to get a job. That is great, but when I do not have money to pay my bills, it is hard to find money to pay for school. I have a B.A. in Psychology that I got almost 30 yrs. ago. I have not been in school since. Well maybe if possible, I can go back and try for a "Certification" program. How about being a CAC, Certified Addictions Counselor, or possibly something in the medical field? I'll have to start looking into that!
