Thanks for the words of encouragement I think that now is the perfect opportunity for me to do this and will give me some sense of purpose. I can't say that enough because so much has been taken away from me due to my illnesses. I'm sure everyone in this forum understands what I'm talking about.

I'm waiting to hear how much financial aid I'm going to receive. My husband works fulltime and his salary isn't much plus we have two children so I still qualify for some financial aid. I'm trying to apply for scholarships and am looking for some for the disabled. I Really don't want to take out any loans because I'm not expecting to work again and won't have the finances to pay them back when and if I actually finish school.

I'm just excited to be doing something even if it doesn't amount to much.
