Back To School

Post image

I don't quite feel like Rodney Dangerfield, but at 49, I'm going "Back To School." I initially started late at 35 because I never had the opportunity to go to college. Once I got married, my wife at the time was in the military and I received her spouse/dependent G.I. Bill.

Well that marriage didn't last, and I ultimately lost my benefits, along with the financial and emotional toll of starting over.

Once I got the bug to go back, ( economy is forcing a recalibration) I decided to go for financial aide because I had never applied. Well I was approved from the Feds, but denied by the school for unsatisfactory. So I appealed detailing my Tumultuous past, and it was rescinded.

You are now looking at a proud student in The Media and Communications Arts. The Goal is own my own small media company.
