| Well, jr high state was awesome. Casey and Coree both did amazing and I'm so so so proud of them.
But now I'm in a bit of a predicament.
I don't know where to go to college.
I thought all along I was gonna go to SPC for the first year or two to get the basics done, and then transfer to tech. I kinda had a hope of maybe transfering to Henderson to keep swimming, but I really didn't think it was too much of a possibility. Kind of a wishful thinking in a way.
Well, I took the ACT and got my scores back, and got a 25. That'll pay for my tuition out at Henderson. I'd still need to come up with money for room and board, which is quite a big chunk of money, but it's better than paying for both tuition and room and board.
I've gotten 2 $250 a semester scholarships out at SPC already, and I've gotten a $500 one time one, and I think I'm gonna get about a $200 a semester grant. So that's $1200 for my first semester out at SPC. But if I go to Henderson, I'll only have that $500 one time scholarship, and then the $200 a semester grant. That's not enough for room and board. I still have yet to find out exactly how much it is, but I know it's at least $930 a semester.
I talked to my coach, and he thinks I need to call the coach at Henderson and see if maybe he can help me out a bit. Then I talked to my counsilor and she thinks that I should also call the Henderson coach and see if he can give me some help, and then call the admissions office and see if they can give me some help too in paying for room and board. My counsilor doesn't think I should take the ACT again to try and get a 27. If I get a 27 on the ACT, then I get tuition and room and board payed for, which solves my problems. My counsilor said that she sees students retake the ACT and that it's really hard to move up even a point or two, and with it being the end of my senior year, I've gotten all the learning in that I'm gonna get from high school. But the thing is, I took that ACT and didn't study at all. I looked at the practice test for like 10 minutes the night before, and that's it. Maybe if I got one of those big books full of practice tests, I could study and bring it up to a 27? But the test will cost $60 instead of the usual $40, cause I'm past the regular deadline.
I didn't think Henderson would ever be possible money-wise with my family, but if I could get room and board payed for somehow through scholarships or loans or something, then I actually could go to college out of state. It's a very exciting, yet scary, aspect.
It all really comes down to what one of my best friends said this morning to me. What is the smart choice? Try to hustle the money and go to Henderson? Away in another state, far from my family, but with freedom like I've never had, and the opportunities that await me? Or stay here where I'm comfortable and go to SPC. Where I would just do the basics, then transfer to Tech, and figure out somehow to pay the outrageous tuition at TTU. I really don't know what to do. Moving away sounds like a very good experience for me. I really think I'd like to do it. But still, deep down, it's scary as hell.
Some insight please? Sorry that was so long, but it's just been on my mind since Saturday. Please leave me a comment and let me know what yall think about all this. Prayers are appreciated too...

| Well, leaving tomorrow morning for San Antonio for the Jr. High State Meet. I'm really excited for multiple reasons:
Evans boys are seated 2nd overall in the state
My brother's relay is seated 1st
My brother's seated 2nd in his 100 IM an is less than a second away from 1st.
My sister's gonna do amazing, cause she made state and I never did my 7th grade year.
Long trip with a new gameboy game
Backseat all to myself going down there
Pappadeaux
Schlitterbahn
Southern Texas
Jayce (and Travis hopefully) are coming on the trip too
So yeah, I get to watch my brother and sister do amazing at the state meet, stuff my face full of crawfish and soda, and either become tan and sexy, or burnt and in pain at Schlitterbahn. But yeah, got this trip, then my AP test next wednesday, and then I'm cruising my way to graduation. Beginning of the end, here I come. | | |
