"The Gamesters Of Triskelion"

Well, I have now attended every class I am taking this semester once. This is the first time I have done this on the first day of class, since my third semester at JCC. Usually I would go to maybe one or two classes on the first day, and wait until the second or third day. Not a wise decision.

Perhaps it is because of dumb moves like this, that I should not be surprised by the news I received today. I will receive NO financial aid. NONE. So now I have no choice to take out student loans, or drop out of college once and for all.

What am I going to do?

I am taking option three. I am writting a letter of appeal, atoning for my errors, in an attempt to convince JCC and NYS funding commission that I deserve financial aid. In doing so I also need to have someone who has known me for at least five years (not a family member) to write a letter in my defense, explaining how I overcame the troubles in my life which caused me to land in such academic dire straights as I have.

Anyone willing to do so, please I beg of you do so. I am also going to be applying for a student loan, but financial aid is obviously going to be a big help.
