The adviser was so helpful in giving me my options. He wanted to make sure I had carefully thought this through since he said that I could go into the Bachelor in Applied Science in Organizational Management. However, I do not feel that this is a good move at all because a B.A.S. degree is very difficult to translate into a Master's degree should I decide to get one in the future. Plus, it had a lot of courses that I felt were unnecessary and irrelevant to the kind of career I wanted to pursue. The A.S. degree in Medical Office Administration will prepare me to be a Medical Secretary or Medical Transcriptionist which I am very interested in.
Also, the Financial Aid Counselor looked up my FAFSA results and said that I have a $5,550 Pell Grant awaiting my use!!!! The college doesn't require that I verify anything either so I don't have to fill out loads of paperwork! I was BEAMING when she said that! I am so happy!
This is an answered prayer -- most definitely!!! I know, with absolute certainty, that I am right where God wants me at this present time. I hope to enroll full-time in the fall and begin the first of 4 semesters to get my degree!
If I could ask you to pray for something -- please pray for a part-time job. I am still searching and there aren't many options out there. However, it occurred to me that, since I am eligible for Financial Aid, I could look into the Federal Work Study program! I am gathering the necessary paperwork. I want everything done well before the fall so I don't have to scramble at the last minute. Procrastination is my weakness, so I need to try hard to overcome that!
