To PONCHO - Re: Affraid and alone - needs some advice

May 5, 2005

PONCHO,

Your right, I have finally figured out that my health should come

first. I really wanted to do an internship this summer and I was

going to push back the surgery date, but as my boyfriend pointed out,

I have trouble going to school some days, so how am I going to go to

work? Wouldn't look good for the internship. I have to be a realist.

As for the university, when I had my accident, they made me withdraw

from all my classes and I got the portion that I paid back, but I lost

the scholarship for that semester. I really had to fight with them to

get an extra semester of scholarship. But I got wise, and started

asking my teachers for Incompletes instead of withdrawing from my

classes. That way I don't need to re-pay for the class and I just need

to finish the work that I haven't done in some cases, in others I just

re-take the whole class. So the University has helped me some, but I

mostly had to help myself or I would of had to pay over $6000 per

semester.

Your kind words are very much appreciated, you have no idea. Thanks

for the best wishes. I don't know your story, but I send you my best

wishes as well and hope that you are feeling well.
