I wish I could start all over on my blog. I read a few of my previous posts and I am so completely lame. Haha. I hope I can entertain you all with some more interesting things.
A few things from a nearly a year ago (Can't believe it's been that long). My brother and his wife has moved back from China and they had a baby. His name is samuel and he is 4 months old. The kid is amazing and it's so unreal that I am an uncle. I never thought I'd see the day that I'd have a little person that would look up to me. Problem is, is he's in Denver and I live somewhere close to Kansas City. Eight hour trips by car are never fun and cause a lot of wear and tear on a car. Therefore, I will miss a lot of his life.
Speaking of Denver, I went out there to pursue my career as a Graphic Designer and to see if I could get into the Art Institute out there. I went through the applications, the fees and meetings. What really sucks is that I could not raise up the money to get in. Why? Because a year before that, my parents used to be somebody. I'm a White American that is under 24 (yea, you can't register as independent on the FAFSA till you're 24) with parents that made well over $250,000 the year before. You may be asking, "Why can't they just help you pay for it?". Well, the school is a $90,000 school for the three years and my dad's business just isn't what it used to be. He hardly makes $80,000 and we have heaps of bills to pay. Just like any American today.
So, yea, it sucks that I can't get in there, but I'm determined to keep teaching myself and learning on my own through tutorials on the internet. I am currently talking to a company called "Drexel Technologies" and they may have an intern position open for me, even if I don't have a college degree. I do plan on going back to school as soon as I can "be on my own" and the Government will be able to help a bit. I'm not scared to work and go to school, so that is always an option, but I know I can't do ALL of it on my own.
Right now, there's not much else going on......I wish there were more to it, but I think this is all that I can handle. lol

I have no doubt with your determination and goals, you will not only get your education, but will also, "be somebody." (Even though I think you already are). ;)
