Hello Aidpage,

     On May 14th 2010 I graduated from a Respiratory Care program. It was a really hard road towards graduation due to the fact that I had no income, a child, and a list of issues throughout the duration of the program. Fortunately, that's all in the past as of now. However, my big problem is that it cost $190.00 to sit for the board exams. I am still unemployed, and everyone's saying the same thing about getting certified before they will hire me. Long story short...I need assistance with the money. If anyone is willing to help me out, please reply a.s.a.p. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

     Thanks for the response to my question. I haven't been on here in a while, so I just read it today. You have some great insight. I really appreciate your response:)

Hello aidpage, Just dropping in to ask everyone how they've been doing lately...

There is a program that's helping me out right now. Check into the local W.I.A. agencies. It stands for workforce initiative..if you type in W.I.A. it will come up, there you can check out the local places who has it in your neighborhood. They pay for tuition, books, and uniforms if needed. However, it's a once in a lifetime deal and the program of choice has to be approved through their system. Its government funding so it's need based, maybe it can be of some assistance to you.

I know how you feel about those scholarship sponsors though, I was called one day after applying for about four different schloarships. they told me I was in the running to receive one, when I called the sponsor on the date as directed, they acted as if they had no clue as to what I was talking about, before finally telling me I was denied. It can be really discouraging to want to educate yourself and can't find the resources, but you guys hang in there and best of luck!

thanks a lot, I will try it out.

Just happy to be on vacation from school and trying to find a way to catch up on some bills. Grateful that I had another successful semester, and can continue in the program! I'm revisiting one of the things that I always tell myself when times are rough due to sacrafice,

"It gets greater later!"

That's what keeps me going...

I really could use some help right now. I only need about $100.00

$60 is for my light bill, which they are threatening to disconnect any day now (that's the past due amount, I owe 160 total).

and $40 for my governement assisted phone bill (which is good for people to contact me, but is very limited in what number I can dial out).

If anyone can offer any assistance, please contact me........

Thanks!

Just Got my free sample of Arm and Hammer toothpaste today. It's actually great. I believe that they're still giving out samples on the website as of now.

Hey Aidpage, I just thought I'd drop some sunshine your way! This is one of my poems, I just wrote a minute ago...

Handing in that last paper on my final day of attendance

Happy and smiling and this all seemed so endless

Breathing in fresh air and embracing my surroundings

Visualizations of the future without those previous boundaries

Soaking up the heat with my sun block you know

maybe I'll go walking, or catch a mid-day show...

the waters at the beach look mighty tempting to me

The party up the block with some freshly squeezed ice tea

As I lay in the hammock thinking "I've got it made!"

Right now I'll doze off in this lovely shade.

LOL, you hit the nail right on the head! I was so mad that I had to deal with that mess...You live and you learn though!

I have a question for everyone...would you or have ever apologized to someone in a professional environment for something that you did not feel you were in the wrong for? Have you ever been in a situation were you had to be the bigger person for the sake of your career? I'm having a really hard time offering up this apology because I stand strong in my beliefs. However, I can tell that this is the type of person that will try to take me down with the power of authority.

What do you think?

Thannkksss!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I'm just feeling so excited right now. I passed all of my midterms with flying colors!

As we all know, some people have a hard time to find employment based on their criminal history...

There is no reason why your past should dictate your future...

All you have to do is watch the Tyra Banks show, and try to win free scholarships for your education. This is sponsored by elearners.com if anyone wants to learn more.

Good Luck!

Between running the household, caring for kids, working a 9-5, and trying to educate ourselves; women may need a helping hand!

Thankfully, there is help available!
