I’m positive lots of the BAD followers slapped their foreheads and cringed after they learn that I had prioritized serving to Princess together with her senior 12 months of school. I do know, I do know.
However I’ve too. I’ve to assist her.
Somewhat again story
When Princess began faculty, I advised her, I might cowl her first 12 months after which she was on her personal. Now should you aren’t a Georgia resident, you could not know that they’ve two grant packages referred to as Hope and Zell Miller. They’re a BIG cause why we moved right here versus different states once we moved. Primarily, if a pupil graduates from a Georgia highschool, even homeschooled, and maintains a sure GPA, the grant covers their tuitions for larger schooling and/or commerce faculties. I wished the entire children to have the chance to additional their schooling with out debt. These grants had been key to that as a single mother of 5 children.
So we did it. First 12 months, I paid for dwelling bills, books, and even supplied spending cash. (She contributed by saving from the time she began working at 15.)
Since then, she’s lined all prices alone. All of them! And it has been so arduous for her. And so inspiring to observe. I’m in complete awe of her. (My dad says she will get her grit and drive from me, however she is so, a lot extra decided and dedicated than I feel I ever was.)
Housing Debacle
One of many largest challenges has been housing. She’s been dwelling in a 5×5 for the final two years. 5 rooms, 5 roommates. And none of them has to work or actually be accountable. Princess will get up each AM and heads to work, then college, after which nights and weekends working an on campus funding membership. I imply, she is killing it. However with all her roommates dwelling the glamorized faculty expertise with events and such this 12 months has been very, very robust, no quiet to sleep or examine, and many others.. You get the image. (I’m not knocking her roommates, she simply wants a distinct atmosphere.)
So this 12 months, she was going to maneuver out. And lengthy story brief, her two roommate choices fell by means of. Now she wants to maneuver, doesn’t have a spot to maneuver too, and is stress to no finish as a result of dwelling in ATL solo is pricey. And with in the present day’s world, a random roommate, properly, neither of us is snug with that.
Place to Assist
Fortunately, I’m within the place to assist. So we went residence purchasing collectively a few weeks in the past earlier than she flew out to begin her summer time internship. And I’ve dedicated to paying the distinction from what she paid the final two years and the brand new place till she graduates subsequent Might. (She’s going to graduate together with her Bachelors earlier than she turns 21 years outdated!)
She’s going to get out of school with $0 in debt. And she or he is aware of the worth of hardwork and cash. I simply need to make this final 12 months a little bit bit simpler on her. As soon as we get every part settled, I’ll fill in additional particulars on what that’s going to appear to be financially.
